Decreased urination - kidney failure

[pulisa]

Isn't she the retired GP? She's very much on the ball regarding your HA so I can imagine what she would say...

I do understand about the "quick get out" but if you can sit with the symptoms it would be so much better.

And the frequent urination has started now, been 3 times in 2 hours. Friday I went 9am - 5pm without going. Ironic this thread is called ‘decreased urination’, tempted fate. Id say its looking ominous now.

From kidney failure to diabetes in a weekend?

Yeah I know, sounds daft to the outsider reading this. And I can acknowledge some of the daftness, but the fear has taken hold now.

She is a retired dr, but was an anaesthetist. She has struggled greatly with her diabetes, and has now got heart issues from it. Some people can say its a manageable condition, but from my experience it sounds terrifying.

It IS daft! There's a clear cause and effect but your dragon is making mountains out of anthills.

Oh well, I've managed to kerb the health worries for a few months now.

Mr Lurcher, sadly this statement is not true. You last posted about your bowel worries on the 6th of this month.

I started this thread back on the 25th of August though, then posted about my bowel worries, then returned to this thread. Admittedly, it doesn't look good from an anxiety point of way.

It's good that you can acknowledge your HA though.

Would I be feeling unwell if I had Type 1 diabetes? My mouth is still feeling dry and I've got an ulcer on the side of my tongue, maybe another symptom? Or maybe 'cos I've been constantly trying to create saliva in my mouth. I don't feel thirsty at all tbh, unless I'm in the very early stages of it.

My MIL has offered to test my blood sugar tonight, but I don't know whether to do it or hold on. If I have diabetes then I'd probably find out pretty soon anyway, however a simple test will provide me instant relief from this worry, and I can carry on.

Im not sure if I have oral thrush, which is a symptom of untreated diabetes. My throat and back of my mouth looks quite red in areas and theres a white patch on my tonsil. Yes Ive had a cold last week and been coughing / snorting up phlegm now and again, but I thought I wouldnt still have redness. Oh dear....

Have you been studying Dr Google avidly for diabetes symptoms?
