Peeing alot, Is this first SYMPTOM ??

forgot to mention im 5'11 215 pounds age 31

One of the first symptoms....dry mouth, feeling thirsty, blurred vision, dizziness etc. You must look at your diet, cut the carbs right down, loose weight if you are overweight, gluten free diet, low carb, count the carbohydrates in everything you eat. Coffee with no sugar, milk or cream....black. Also some sweeteners can spike your glucose levels.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that my left shoulder starts to ache after I eat certain foods! Maybe giving me heart attack warnings and it goes down to elbows and fingers sometimes too.. is this a sign of heart attack or stroke that’s close by? Or something else?

Go and see the doctor....blood tests will reveal the answer. Try to keep your sugar levels low, exercise, eat lots of vegetables, avoid sweets, low fat, low carb....even if you do not have diabetes, keep your body healthy....all preventive.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes my A1C was 5.2....now after three months has come down to 4.2 and  I control it with diet and exercise only. Have further tests............

The sooner diabetes is found the better.....must see a different doctor, it is important the blood tests are interpreted correctly and you are given information about treatment, diet, exercise.

Hi John, diabetes ranges were recently lowered (in the US) so many people are showing prediabetic who were not before. Docs use the ranges to know when to intervene with medications. Docs don't generally offer preventative treatment. They basically let disease advance until its has enough to prescribe meds.

If you are on any medications,  you may want to check the side effects to see if they are known to cause diabetes.

On one hand, you know your body, so if you’re feeling out of sorts ita important to pay attention and start by improving your diet towards preventing diabetes. Really, as people get older, most everyone is at risk for diabetes, so you may as well start preventing now by eating healthy (try a Paleo style diet) and exercising.

On the other hand, there isn't any point freaking out. Just take whatever preventative actions you can before disease advances.
