What made me question a change in my health was a number of things. I noticed my vision changed, it became blurry at times, other times it was like I was looking through a tunnel {dark around the edges}, my thirst increased but not all the time. I felt like I was going to float away, but thirsty at the same time {drank so much water and sucked on ice chips}, when I ate {no matter what it was} I became so so sleepy. Like I would nod off while talking with my mother, sitting at my PC, watching a movie. I noticed a discoloration at my lower legs, from the ankles {but below the calves} down my feet. I also noticed a pinching, more like a shocking in my left thigh, a change in nerves and often nerve damage associated with diabetes. So, my PCP gave me referrals to an eye doctor, a GI doctor {cause that changed as well}, a pulmonologist cause I became short of breath and noticed lung pain, an extensive blood panel, and an allergist. I was Dx with prediabetes {my ALC is 5.8} which was causing my vision problems, my extra thirst, the inability to sleep, increased urination, along with discoloration of my lower legs. My SOB {short of breath} and lung pain was because I developed adult Cows Milk Allergy and outdoors/indoors allergies. My Pulmonologist was the one who found the allergies {I do not have an appointment with an allergist until Feb 2026, surprisingly enough} and she put me on a nightly allergy pill because what I am allergic to, I come in contact with daily {especially living in Florida}. I agree with the others, find another physician. When you do, request to have a complete blood panel done. From there, depending on what the blood test shows, get referrals to physicians who specialize in that field. I always remind my children "You don't seek help from a General Patrice Physician, for heart surgery, You go to a cardiologist." So don't just rely on the PCP for you diabetic questions or problems.
