What Causes Fatigue, Tired Eyes And Thirsty In Diabetes?
I have had a fasting blood glucose level of 124,121,126,147,132 over the last five days (testing on a friends machine as I have been having symptoms of diabetes - dry mouth for 4 weeks, fatigue, muscle weekness, tired eyes, thirsty etc). I don't have an appointment with the doctor for another 4 days, my question is, are the levels seriously high - should I ask for an emergency appointment or will waiting be ok?

Hello,
your symptoms and fasting sugar levels suggest that you are deginitely having diabetes.You must also get the PP sugar levels as well as HBA1c done to know the exact status of your diabetes.
There is no point waiting for another four days and so you must take an emergency appointment with him.
Persistent high sugar levels can cause various complications.
Thanks
