Diabetic?

I think I might be a diabetic. im thirsty all the time, im tired, and even just standing up gets me dizzy. just the flourescent lights in my school make the sides of my eyes fuzz up so I cant see anything but straight. im really irratible, and I havent been the happy person I used to be, and I have no idea why. diabetes runs in my moms side of the family, so theres a good chance I might get it sometime in life. do I have it right now? Is there any way to tell without a test? I dont want to scare my mom if it isnt necessary.

Answer #2

no way to tell without a test, they need to check your blood sugar levels…

Answer #3

Some warning signs are:

  • Frequent trips to the bathroom
  • Unquenchable Thirst
  • Losing Weight Without Trying
  • Weakness and Fatigue
  • Tingling or Numbness in Your Hands, Legs or Feet

Other Signs and Symptoms That Can Occur: Blurred vision, skin that is dry or itchy, frequent infections or cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal are also signs that something is amiss. Again, when these signs are associated with diabetes, they are the result of high glucose levels in the body. If you notice any of the above signs, schedule an appointment with your doctor. He or she will be able to tell you if you have reason to be concerned about a diagnosis of diabetes.
