    Just ring your GP for an appointment.

      Best to wait until it dies down. I've not heard of marks like that being a symptom. If your father checks his blood sugar you could use his kit to check yours.

      My blood sugar readings have said that I am since 2004. I have not had any of the said symptoms. And only took Metformin for a month or so as I could not get one with its side effects. Initially I was said to be glucose intolerant but later my GP said that term had ben withdrawn and I was now T2.

    I would ring NHS Direct.

    Not sure of the number.

    I live in Wales and number from here is 111 but I think it will be a different number according to where you live.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Take care and keep in touch
