Hey all, I’ve joined here to try and get advice about some issues I’ve been having.
For context I’m 20 bmi of 20.3 no meds I have cerebral palsy and am a para athlete.
I’m not diagnosed diabetic but about 1.5 months ago I developed an unquenchable thirst and was urinating up to 20+ times urgently I felt tired and generally unwell so went to a&e, on arrival my bg was 4.7 and keytone 0.3? So not type 1 I’m still symptomatic now and also started measuring my BG as I thought some of my symptoms dizziness hunger shakey etc could signify lows and my bg drops to 3.5/3.1 when I’m having these episodes- some say that’s ok for non diabetic but I get so ill with it.
I’m still incredibly thirsty and have symptoms still, I’m wearing a libre to see any pattern and my bg seems to spike to 10 sometimes after eating then slowly crashes.
I know some types of diabetes can come on slowly and I’m concerned that the symptoms of thirst and the lows could be a warning of diabetes in the long run.
Any advice would be beneficial as I’m not getting much help from medical professionals.
