Re: Symptoms recognized? to Sonja

[Guest guest]

Sonja,

Your fatigue, excessive hunger, sweet cravings, frequent urination at night,

blurred vision, weight gain and blurred vision are all positive symptoms of

diabetes.

My chronic pancreatitis lead to pancreas burnout last year resulting in a very

serious hospitalization with diabetic ketoacidosis. When I left the hospital

several days later I had the diagnosis of type 1 brittle diabetes. When I

started

toward diabetic ketoacidosis I had all of the symptoms you listed except for

the weight gain. In my case I had severe weight loss. Weight gain, or weight

loss are both symptoms. Also symptomatic for me was the loss of

concentration, inability to balance well and the achiness all over the body.

Please have yourself tested for diabetes at the earliest opportunity. It is not

good to have those symptoms go untreated for any length of time. These

diabetic symptoms are all indicators of a blood glucose imbalance, and for

those of us with chronic pancreatitis, you could say that it " runs in the

family " .

Please let us know what you find out.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi
