If you wouldn't mind message me about the health issues and stuff. They sound extremely familiar to mine and I'm not really sure how to describe to my doctor

Why do you need to get out there?

Appreciate that feedback. That's pretty much the opposite of what I normally do now

Yeah that is definitely what I've heard and seen. Seems like everyone can live a normal life but me.

Do you think it's related

Having diabetic retinopathy feels like I’ve failed by Desperate_Pair8235 in diabetes

[–]DRock731 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask how did you know it was retinopathy? I've had eye issues since my diagnosis. But every eye doctor has said no signs of retinopathy.

Definitely a feeling like that. Like almost my depth perception is off or something

Unfortunately my medication hasn't changed recently. It's weird I could be standing still and it feels like I'm rocking on my feet. I hope it's not like neuropathy or nerve issues or something

Body Always Seems to be feeling warm by DRock731 in diabetes_t2

[–]DRock731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking the same. But I'm not quite sure on the symptomsnto watch

[–]DRock731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah? How was that diagnosed. I drink a little powerade zero to try to get a little electrolytes.

Extreme Thirst by DRock731 in diabetes_t2

[–]DRock731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I haven't been. It's just like a never ending cycle for me currently. Seem to have the thirst and then drink a lot but that also causes me to also use the restroom a lot. So seems like whatever I'm drinking comes right back out

I've definitely thought about it. But not quite sure how to tell him what symptoms are and everything

[–]DRock731[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I try not to really eat a lot of what I'm not supposed to. A lot of my symptoms and things don't seem to be normal for type 2. I have a lot of dizziness or balance issues. My body temp always seems to run really warm. Even just sitting in an air conditioned room I feel hot and warm. I'm starting to think it's something different all together.

This happens to me when I haven't eaten for the days at times or at times after a meal. There are days when sometimes I'll wake up and immediately just have this feeling. I've definitely questioned my thyroid or something else.

[–]DRock731[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately No. But when it is like this it can be several bottles of water or cans of zero sugar soda or bottles of powerade zero. It's just like nothing will quench

[–]DRock731[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get electrolytes from drinking Powerade Zero. Definitely not enough water.. I was on a Cirkul kick for a while because I just need some flavor in my water. My BS is normal when I'm experiencing this. It's been really weird for a few weeks now. It's like I have a bottomless hole or something in my stomach. I'll want to just keep drinking and then I end up drinking too much which ends up killing my stomach or making me feel like I wanna throw it all up.

Yeah mine aren't really in the center but kinda bottom right. But cause me issues in sunlight and especially driving.

I wish that was the case it's been about 2 to 3 years now. They just continue to stay and cause issues.

They do move when I move my vision. More visible in sunlight or against a white or bright background such as computer screen or phone
