Diabetic control: You have at least 2 problems. The first is your glucose control. You should know what your hemoglobon a1c (h) is as that is a better measure of glucose control than a glucometer reading. Ask your physician (p) to help you control your glucose if your h is > 7. Your symptoms do not provide enough data to give you answer about your discomfort. See your p and get her to give you a meaningful answer.
