I'm just looking for some advice on whether I should enquire about being tested for Diabetes.

So...
Night sweats (terrible! dripping with sweat and have to change clothes/underwear)
Waking with a headache (not every morning)
Poor sleep, but feel totally shattered all day everyday.
Dizziness/lightheadedness at random times during the day.
Feeling thirsty (but not excessively)
Dry mouth (not consistently)
Itchiness (mainly hands & feet, but often all over)
Strange electric shock type sensations in my calf muscles.

I'm 34 and have struggled on/off with depression and anxiety.
2 under 2 (wondering if some of the above could be related to post partum?) my youngest is 12w.
I'm already back at the pre pregnancy weight I was before my first. I've struggled with infections - recently hospitalised for intravenous antibiotics because my Mastitis was reoccurring and became acute.

Having done a little look online, would it be outlandish to contact GP for a Diabetes Test?

I wouldn't be trying to diagnose yourself, but you do 100% need to see a doctor and get a full range of blood tests done

See a doctor, they’ll likely include a1c within a standard panel of tests anyway
