Diabetes Symptoms?
Posted: 01-09-05 07:37am

I am a 33 year old male recently I have noticed my hair has thinned I have been getting mood swings been very tired had a boudt of diareha and been urinating little but more often.I have had some tests done by my g.P which included 2 blood tests and a urine sample still waiting for the results but since then I have had to do another urine sample to test my sugar level.However yesterday I had some orange juice and afterwards I was urinating for more or less the rest of the day. Got a burning scalp washed my hair a load of hair fell out.Then as the day progressed I lost my concentration and had for a tiny while pins and needles in my hand.I woke up this morning with a vague sweet taste in my mouth and my hair was oily.Do all things add up to diabetes including my hair and will it eventually grow back. :cry:

The pins and needles and frequent urination sound like symptoms. Also toehr symproms may be eating more but losing weight, feeling thirstier than usual, feeling faint and tired a lot etc. You'll know when your test resultc come back I guess. Good luck to you :d
