johnny boy68 11,726 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Tell me guys, just curious here, I never go to the doctors, ever. How do you find out you have something like diabetes if your like me? What's the symptoms. Pissing a lot, tiredness, weight loss and drinking fluids like they're going out of fashion. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
baw 4,360 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Tell me guys, just curious here, I never go to the doctors, ever. How do you find out you have something like diabetes if your like me? What's the symptoms. Pissing a lot, tiredness, weight loss and drinking fluids like they're going out of fashion. I've seen days where I piss a lot, days I don't. Tiredness, naa but like yesterday, up at 5ish working, out lamping last night, bed after 1am, up for work 6 this morning, gonna feel tired no weight loss, been same weight for years. I have days where I drink a lot but still, if I had all them symptoms I prob still wouldn't go to a doctor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astanley 11,565 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Baw ,if you over 30 , do yourself a favour and go to the quacks a couple of times a year , get your bloods done and a bit of an mot , don't wait for symptoms to show , theres a myriad of things that don't show themselves until its too late , My brother had the same cavalier attitude as you toward doctors , and he dropped dead , a visit to the docs would have prevented this , to make things worse he owed me money at the time . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

boyo 1,398 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Yeah mate I'm on insulin. Try to look after my self do go off the rails every once in a while but not massively. Just seems that whatever I do it's still all over the place. Haven't long changed doctors so hopefully they'll suggest something different to try ask your doctor about victosa i went on it about 2 month ago brilliant and helps lose weight . way he described it to me its like a chemical gastric band only daily injection instead .

derbylad1 293 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I never had the symptoms and only found out on my final medical when leaving the army. That was 2 years ago and now I do piss a bit more and my eyes are shit when I'm tired. I've now started to sort out my diet, I just need to drink less lager now.
