[quote:Anonymous Coward 72679080:MV8zMjcyNTk0XzU4NTA4NDUwXzQwOEE2QTVE] [quote:GUAM USA:MV8zMjcyNTk0XzU4NTA2NDMxXzgxMDg4QTdF] [quote:Fornuft:MV8zMjcyNTk0XzU4NTA2NDA1X0FENDgxREE0] One of the symptoms is glucose in the urine, are there sticky residue on the rim of the toiletbowl? There is also a very important thing to watch out for, if you start to smell like acetone, you have gone into ketoacidosis, which is very serious and could kill you. Best of luck on your checkup, a lot can be done with dietary changes and exercise. [/quote] Yeah, I don't know about sticky residue on the bowl - but my piss is orange/red. And smells like poop. [/quote] Orange piss and the itching means your liver is starting to fail. You need to stop drinking NOW. I am completely serious. Is your poop als pale or clay-colored? You need to be worked up by a doc ASAP including fasting blood glucose and a basic chem panel which includes liver function tests. The shakiness in the AM could be low blood sugar because of not eating overnight. Also if your liver is damaged it may not be able to produce glucose while you are fasting (this is one of the livers jobs , by the way - it stores glycogen and releases it as blood glucose to keep it in a safe range). However chowing down on sugar to raise it will just send you on roller coaster as your pancreas (if its working) will dump out a bunch of insulin in response to the sugar and possibly send you low again. You need to stop drinking, start eating balanced small meals with protein, fat and carbs in them, and see a doc ASAP. [/quote]

I sweat profusely - I get dizzy and almost feel like I will pass out. My entire body wants to shake. I can't sign my own name until after 12 pm. I am 61 yrs old, my father died of diabetes at the age of 60.
Now here is the kicker. I drink vodka every day - never to get drunk - but, I do every day to calm the symptoms above. These are not hangovers they are nothing I've ever felt before. And the god damn itchys !
