Maman might be right
I searched Google for diabetes symptoms and found this list from the American Diabetes Association:

If you don't, I'm so coming over there and bringing you there myself. POPPY.
Well, I dunno how I'm supposed to know I am sick. Every time I go to the doctors because I think there's something wrong they tell me I'm fine! I wish they'd stop doing that, how will I know when there really is something wrong?
You give them good vein, is what you do. :) You can always request the smaller, butterfly needle. It barely pinches, so says the future nurse who hates needles.
I don't think you should worry too much. It probably just stress and maybe some hayfever but I tend to try to remember it for myself since I had a baby over 10lbs (Thanks Imelda)!
Plus you know the second you look at a list of symptoms you automatically have them all. It's the curse of being too clever!
Jurgen is SO right! They always have trouble finding my vein and they gouge until I can't take it, to the point where I just stopped going... but when I had my kidney stone, I found a very patient nurse who used a butterfly needle expertly and I swear I didn't even feel it.
Coincidentally, I have been considering returning to the doctor to inquire about diabetes (due primary to the swelling of my feet) and I also scored high on that test. Go see your doc and then report back to me the findings, that way it'll kinda be like I went.
:)
Primarily. You know that's what I meant, right? Gads, I detest typos.
Good luck Poppy. And good for you for taking care of this. I know sometimes I just hide in the corner!
Yes, please make an appointment. STAT.
I hope everything turns out ok.
:)
I'm not saying that you shouldn't go to the doctor, because you absolutely should, but by clicking the box about excercise and saying that you get very little to none it automatically assigns you 5 points. That's not exactly statistically honest. But, go anyway.
Yah, until I got my back injury in December I exercised EVERY OTHER DAY, no exceptions. I just can't do that now, so there's my 5 points. Either way, I have an itchy stomach rash to go with my weight loss, so I'm seeing a doctor.
Dearest Poppy, I hope you're okay. Please make sure you go to the doctor, and then follow his/her advice. Best wishes.
