Are these symptoms?
Hello, I just discovered this community because I am scared that I might have pre-diabetes/diabetes, I am currently scheduled to see my doctor again and discuss, but I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience?
I have been complaining that I am not feeling too well and he ran some blood tests, but my glucose level was totally fine. One of the things I mentioned was that I am using the toilet a lot, but it does not happen all the time, I usually wake up once to three times every night and there are days when I go even 16-17 times a day, while I drink only 2 liters of water, with a lot of volume.
I really tried to look for a pattern, because as I mentioned is not happening every day, but it does happen if I eat sugar. I have a pretty clean diet, and when I keep up with it, I do not really have issues. Indeed I do go often, but not 16 times.
I put it to the test and the other day I had a bowl of cereals and some chocolate and for the next 2-3 hours I went like 6 times, the same when I went out with my friends and I had a lemonade.
One other thing that might be related if I eat sugar I feel very hangover, to the extreme that next day I have to spend it in bed recovering or just take it slowly. My brain fog is terrible when I do and I usually plan my sugar intake around the work I have in the next days, to be able to be slow, or take it slow next day.
One other thing is my vision, I see very since a while ago, I saw my eye doctor and said that everything seems unchanged, but I do blame this one on my office job.
One other thing to mention is that I have PCOS and there is history of diabetes in my family.
Did anyone have similar experiences? Because I am a bit afraid I might be overreacting.
