Identify burning sensation in lower regions in the last 5 months. Has anyone experienced this as a pre diabetic
 
Sorry to hear this @Trystar

Hope you can get to the bottom of it. Elevated BG levels do make thrush and UTIs more common
 
Thanks I’m trying to convince medics it could be due to uti, thrush etc but they seem to think because antibiotics and etc not clearing it in 5 months. There’s something else going on. Burning sensation more disturbing during the night. Keeping me awake

Yes but tests negative so far just sent in another one and blood sugar being checked again. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this for long periods 5 months now
 
Repeatedly years ago along with piles and cystitis ohh and a period at the same time - but there again my BG was nowhere near as good as it is today. What IS your day to day BG doing? If you haven't got a BG meter, I think it's worth the investment. Two pretty muck OK ones where the strips are cheap enough are either the Spirit Healthcare Tee2 and the SD Gluco Navii - both only available online, neither via a pharmacy.
 
Testing my blood sugar although my GP says a full blood screen more reliable so having this next week. My own tests are between 5.2 -6.7 am and pm 2 hrs after after meals around 6.5 to 8.3 . Find burning more prominent after meals.
 
Sounds like cystitis to me! Have you checked that underwear or clothing is not chaffing. Have you changed washing powder that may be irritating that sensitive area.
 
surely after all that time the doctor should of referred to urology to be on the safe side.

I’ve had to go ptivate to get things moving. Endocrinologist , gyno and now being referred to a colon recital specialist. I still think it’s all to do with my blood sugar spiking re pre diabetes especially after
meals. Had to demand to c a diabetic clinician to discuss further on nhs. Still waiting for an appointment.
 
Most people with pre-diabetes and even diabetes, don't experience noticeable symptoms, so it would be surprising if your BG was spiking high enough and for long enough to cause other issues without significantly affecting your HbA1c reading and promoting your diagnosis to full blown diabetes.

8.3 after meals is within the parameters of a normal non-diabetic person, so I would certainly not expect those readings to be causing symptoms.

Yes did all these personal bits first,
 
Sounds very uncomfortable for you @Trystar

Hope you can get some relief soon. Nothing like so easy to get things like this checked out and followed up with the current restrictions :(

Thanks Barbara. Just had further blood taken so will c what the hbA1c level comes back with. Weight now dropped to 53kgms lost 10 since June. Having a cat scan to check out medical problems causing continual burning sensation day and night. Urine test negative not showing any infection. Very debilitating. Using low carb and high calories food intake to manage weight loss.
 
Trystar, please don't think I'm trying to diagnose you with anything. Nobody on an Internet forum can do that, but have you been checked for interstitial cystitis?

Bladder pain syndrome (interstitial cystitis)

Find out about bladder pain syndrome (BPS), also called interstitial cystitis, where you have pelvic pain and problems peeing.
