    Do you think you might have diabetes?

    First, see if you suffer from some of the following symptoms:

    *Raging thirst
    *Frequent need to urinate
    *Rapid weight loss
    *Blurry vision
    *Fatigue

    One of these on their own doesn't really mean anything. Several all at the same time might.

    I have all the symptoms! Does that mean I have diabetes?

    No-one here on this forum can answer this question for you. As a group we might know a thing or two about diabetes but there is only ONE group of people on the whole planet that can tell you whether you have diabetes or not - doctors.

    If you think you have diabetes, don't umm and ahh about it. Don't bother getting some blood or urine testing kit from a pharmacy - at the most they'll point you in the right direction but they're by no means definitive. Don't kid yourself that you don't like doctors or hospitals. No-one does. But they're here to help.

    IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE DIABETES BUT AREN'T SURE, GO AND SEE A DOCTOR.

    Then we'll be able to help you with all the rest.

    Glucose HK CFS liquid? What is that?

    Thread Starter: hyposym

    I've accidentally found this "Glucose HK CFS liquid" among my 2008 blood tests.

    The strange thing is that it had not been ordered
