I think I have diabetes symptoms….?
Nov 30, 2009 | Diabetes Blurred Vision
okay so i have heard a the symptoms for diabetes are blurred vision, hunger, urination, thirst, being tired all the time…
okay well i am like always hungry and thirsty, after each class in school(40 mins) i am REALLY thirsty….and i am hungry most of the time(im not overweight) like 1/2 hour to 45 mins after i eat, im already getting hungry….im tired A LOT too….but i suddenly get bursts of energy, but then i get tired again….so idk. Diabetes really doesnt run in my fam, but my dads 1/2 brothers (uncle…well 1/2 uncle) has it…thats all i know of, please tell me what i should do
or is this just a normal thing…
well i have type 1 diabetes those sound like most of the symptoms. first, now i know this sounds weird, but smell your breath. if it smells.. kinda fruity, then that’s usually bad, assuming u didnt have something that made your breath smell that way. fruity breath is a symptom for something called diabetic ketoacidosis and well… thats bad. but even so i agree u should at least check your blood sugar.

have your blood sugar checked and your Hemoglobin A1c. That will put your mind at rest.

It wouldn’t hurt to get your blood sugar tested. However, your symptoms could indicate many different problems, some physical and some psychological. If your symptoms persist, you should see a doctor.

I think you should tell your doctor and get a fgt (fasting glucose test)to be sure if you do.

Get a blood sugar test done (before and after lunch).

Don’t just guess your symptoms go see a doctor first to confirm you have diabetes

not normal. pretty much sounds like me, except the hunger thing.
definantly talk to your parents about this, and get it checked out by a doctor. hopefully things will go well, and you’ll feel better soon.

this is exactly what is happening to me….
I took a blood test on those diabetes machines and yeah it wasn’t normal…
Prehaps you can see/talk to your family doctor??..run some tests and all.
Good luck
