Diabetes Symptoms?

Hello!

I’m usually a mumsnet lurker, so sorry if this is all mumbled!

Lately I have not been feeing myself at all, and the past few days it seems my symptoms are getting becoming more frequent and I decided to have a google today.

For a few months I’ve been going to the loo A LOT more, I used to be able to go in the morning and then not go for a few hours, til past lunch time if I had to. I would go before bed and sleep straight through! Now I go probably go 3/4 times in the night, and every hour in the day. The past few days it’s been smelling how I can only describe as Sugar puffs but I put it down to not drinking enough so I’ve been drinking more. Now I can’t stop drinking and my mouth feels like sandpaper..

I’ve been getting dizzy spells, completely random whether I’m standing or sitting and my eyes go blurry (I always just thought it was because I was tired) and even right now I just feel off! Like spaced out? Tired?

Sometimes one of my legs go slightly numb too.

Are these signs? I always get a little anxious about going to the GP, can I get a blood sugar test at the pharmacy?

Aside from the toilet I had all of your other symptoms and I had low B12 and Folic acid.

Numb limbs / tingling/ blurry vision/ spaced out/ tired etc

In my are these aren't done in a full blood count you have to get them done separately, might be something to ask the Doctor about.
