Eyesight degradation is a gradual thing and our eyes compensate until they no longer can, then we notice. Then there is the fact that this disease affects everyone in different ways, combinations, and rates. So yes, it is feasible to notice the extreme symptoms over a short time frame. The symptoms are also shared with other diseases which makes it imperative to see a doctor to get definative test done. |
Now when thinking about it, i have probably been drinking a bit more than usual for a while
But we have been going through a heatwave so maybe that's why i haven't noticed
Going to give in and swallow my pride tomorrow and endure all stares in the pharmacy. Going to buy a bloodglucose meter... Then i'll at least be able to tell the doctor that i'm high as a kite if i'm high as a kite and it might also make it easier to get an appointment
or i'll just to the ER... Decided it's time to take action now... Today i have been hungry almost all the time since lunch- had snacks twice and now i'm very hungry again, had 4 liters of water since lunch, and my face feels a bit hot and looks red when i look in the mirror
i'm sick of drinking water all the time and go to toilet several times every hour
Part of me even hope i'll be diagnosed... Then i'd know why i feel like this, and will be able to do something about it. I'm not afraid of Diabetes, and won't let it stop me from doing what i want so... Right now i just want answers
But i don't feel like going to the ER 20km away today
But tomorrow... point of no return
