Diabetes , other symptoms.

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hello, I was told three years ago that I have Pre-Diabtes. I've never really had any symptoms until the last few months (I have Psoriatic Arthritis and Osteoarthritis too). I know thirst is a factor but I'm not thirsty in the daytime but can down gallons through the night, it's annoying hubby now, all that glugging!! Does anyone else only get thirsty at night? I have regular three monthly bloods done for my Arthritis but not sure if they would automatically check for Diabetes.

    Hi Jane,

    It is not likely that they would check for diabetes unless the GP requested that check.  If you are concerned revisit your GP and ask for a test.  Good luck.

    Sounds like you're eating too many carbohydrates and sugars later in the day and you have no chance to burn them off.  Try eating carbs at lunch and just eating lightly in the evening.
