Hey all. I wanted to post here because I’m fairly certain I have diabetes. A little background: I’m 25, 5’1 and weigh around 155lbs. I wanted to see if anyone experienced these symptoms before they were diagnosed...
-
Peeing 3-4 times once laying down BEFORE falling asleep. I’ll lay in bed and get up to pee 3-4 times in 1 hour. ALWAYS have to pee right when I wake up and pee is always highly concentrated.
-
Whenever I drink alcohol I get sick (vomit) doesn’t matter if it’s 1 drink or 5. After vomiting I’ll shake for 10-20 mins almost like my blood sugar is low.
-
Random dizzy spells that feel so strong that I feel like I’m about to pass out.
-
Heart palpitations when I’m not feeling anxious.
-
Easily dehydrated. I’ve gone to the hospital before because I felt so dehydrated and had to get an IV. There was no real reason for me to be dehydrated.
-
Fatigue. I’ll get 8+ hours of sleep at night and ALWAYS wake up tired.
I’ve had my blood sugar tested over the years for checkups/etc and it’s always been on the higher side. I went to urgent care a few weeks ago for my acid reflux and they did some blood tests- my glucose was 136 and I thought this was odd because I was eating basically nothing due to the reflux... I chalked if up to being hungover but now I’m starting to think more about it.
I also had elevated liver enzymes the last time I had my blood work done. There’s really no reason I should have elevated enzymes. Don’t have liver disease, not a frequent drinker, no gallstone problems. Anyways if you’ve read this much thank you. Let me know if you’ve had any similar experiences.
Also I’m going to my Dr. next week. What test should I ask for in order for it to be the most accurate?
