Does this sound like hyperglycaemia?

For the past couple of months I have had incredibly dry mouth even though I’m drinking around 3 to 4 litres of water a day, extreme fatigue, sleeping 8 plus hours then still napping for 2 hours in the day and constantly feeling tired, feeling nauseous in between meals but better once I eat and heart palpitations.

I went to the doctors for the heart palpitations and he ordered bloods and an ecg. This morning I got a call from the doctors surgery saying I have to go in for further bloods tomorrow morning as my blood test showed high glucose levels.

I had ate around an hour before my blood test yesterday. Do you think that could effect the results? Could this be nothing?

Dry mouth is definitely a symptom of type 2 diabetes, but can also be caused by other things such as certain medications. I'm sorry but it does sound like you're going to diagnosed with either type a or pre diabetes.

Definitely.
