  • Symptoms of diabetes that come and go

    Hi everyone,

    I’m a healthym 19 year old female and a college freshman. For the past couple of years, I’ve had bouts of symptoms of diabetes that have all disappeared on their own. I’ve gotten tested, and have been told that I’m fine.

    But I’ve had:

    Frequent urination
    Excessive thirst
    Excessive hunger
    Itchy skin
    Yeast infections
    Fatigue
    Dizziness
    Nausea

    Lately, I’ve had almost all of these symptoms…but I noticed something. It occurred during the week before my period which is a fairly common time for them to pop up as I’ve noted before. Is there some reason for this?

    Also, after I eat, I tend to start feeling pretty awful, especially if I had something with lots of carbs. What gives?

    And finally, should I get a meter to keep track of my sugar when I’m having symptoms?

  • EasyPro meter from Target

    I need a low cost meter with low cost strips, and I was wondering about the Easy Pro from Target. Is it any good? How accurate is it?

    Thanks!
