- tathougies 10y agoCan't respond for OP, but I documented a similar 'self-diagnosis' on reddit [1]. I verified the diagnosis by taking the treatment and seeing if it worked (it did!).

- smnplk 10y agoThere were this tell tell signs, like urinating every 2-3 hours, it was even worse during the night. I have to go pee, like 4-5 times a night. I did buy a monitor and my fasting glucose level is 6 mmol/L, which is a bit higher than the norm, which is 5.6 mmol/L, but my glucose 2 hours after eating went to 6.7 mmol/L which is fine. So I am not sure, I'll do some more measurements and then see a doctor. I was a bit worried, because I have autoimmune (hashimoto) disease, which can give me good predisposition for autoimmune type diabetes.
- smnplk 10y agoI need to add that my eating habits were not ideal. Although I am fairly active, doing different sports, even was a pro athlete for 14 years, but being active and eating too much sugar is still a bad lifestyle, so i need to find a balance. I am also trying different things to get the levels of my thyroid antibodies down...
