I was telling my friends at college that i tend to feel quite tired, and i require the toilet often, several times a day- i even think i can give the Niagara a run for its money.
But one of them told me they could both be signs of diabetes.
Tiredness in December could also be related to the shortness in daylight hours, as this is known to have an effect on hormones.
In severe cases this can lead to SAD - Seasonally Affected Disorder.
Try to soak up as much daylight as possible. Don't sleep in when the sun is up. Sit near windows when you have a choice.When possible get some exercise outdoors - even if it is a brisk walk to the pub!
these were all symptoms i got in 2002 but the doctors didnt pick up on it they thought i had a kidney infection it wasnt till my eyesight started to go (it returned once i got on insulin) that they did a blood glucose test which turned out to be type 1 diabetic.
