Its not too much but enough to keep me hydrated. I feel like im in a bubble. Does anyone know what i mean? Xx

If you drink a few glasses of water then you should be hydrated .
Some days I'm just thirsty , I find tea , fizzy drinks , fizzy water seem to help get rid of the thirsty feeling .
Also make sure you're eating well : )
Ya I get that feeling spaced out or detached from the world , it's worse if I'm stressed or tired .

You are describing the early symptoms of diabetes. It would be sensible to go see your GP tomorrow and have your blood sugar checked, even if it's just so you can come back and say, 'Wallace, yer talkin pish!!':)

[amyyy]

Do they test it there and then? X x

[william wallace]

Yes, they can test either blood or urine while you are there:)

Diabetes is best tested with a fasting blood test but they can still tell a lot from a normal blood test as well.

i got a normal blood test less than 2 weeks ago, which came back with a normal blood count, and said my kidneys and liver were also perfectly normal. do you think they would of picked up on it thru that? x x

[william wallace]

They only test as per instructions so if sugar wasn't mentioned they wouldn't. You can get a free diabetes check at any Lloyds pharmacy:)

you can go to boots i think it is and have it tested,,but if youve had a normal blood test in the last two weeks you should be fine,,have you got the heating on,,cos that can give you a dry mouth,,just being stressed can also do it too,,as said fizzy water is brilliant for getting rid of the dryness,,i carry a bottle everywhere,
