Tell me guys, just curious here, I never go to the doctors, ever. How do you find out you have something like diabetes if your like me? What's the symptoms.

Pissing a lot, tiredness, weight loss and drinking fluids like they're going out of fashion.

Wish my old pal took all the advise onboard. He thought it was all a big joke, sadly he paid the ultimate price in finding out it wasn't .. Sure it was type 2 he had but not certain. Look after yours

I've seen days where I piss a lot, days I don't. Tiredness, naa but like yesterday, up at 5ish working, out lamping last night, bed after 1am, up for work 6 this morning, gonna feel tired :D no weight loss, been same weight for years. I have days where I drink a lot but still, if I had all them symptoms I prob still wouldn't go to a doctor :laugh:

Right mate, got you. When I'm pissing regular I'm talking maybe every hour. Don't think I'm mocking anyone, I was genuinely curious.

Baw ,if you over 30 , do yourself a favour and go to the quacks a couple of times a year , get your bloods done and a bit of an mot , don't wait for symptoms to show , theres a myriad of things that don't show themselves until its too late , My brother had the same cavalier attitude as you toward doctors , and he dropped dead , a visit to the docs would have prevented this , to make things worse he owed me money at the time .

Yeah mate I'm on insulin. Try to look after my self do go off the rails every once in a while but not massively. Just seems that whatever I do it's still all over the place. Haven't long changed doctors so hopefully they'll suggest something different to try

ask your doctor about victosa i went on it about 2 month ago brilliant and helps lose weight . way he described it to me its like a chemical gastric band only daily injection instead .

I never had the symptoms and only found out on my final medical when leaving the army.

 

That was 2 years ago and now I do piss a bit more and my eyes are shit when I'm tired. I've now started to sort out my diet, I just need to drink less lager now.

There's alot of people walking about BAW who are diabetic but don't know it,the longer its left the more damage is done

I believe you mate. Bit like high blood pressure can go unnoticed.
