also, is it hereditary? My grandmother has it, and she is telling me that I should get myself checked.
It is hereditay, but you may not develope it before 40, and prevention always is better than treatment so keep a good diet,work out regularly drink lots of water and go for a medical check up yearly specially after 35.
don’t panic babe, all my family has diabetes and I’m totally ok with it, living happly cus I don’t have to worry bout something did not acually happen yet ,though a bet of prevention won’t hurt!

it is deffinately more likely to happen to u depending on ur life style if it runs in ur family. it runs in both sides of mine i just recently found out that if i dont change my life style that i will be a full on diabetic. i dont think there really signs that you have diabetes at first because u wont change over night. you should deffinately get regular blood tests to try to prevent it as much as u can. and make sure u eat right and not alot of junk food.
good luck hope u dont get it

Craving sweets & having hot flashes? Those are signs of diabetes. And yes, you should follow your grandmother’s advice & get tested. Because she was right, it is hereditary

The three cardinal signs of possible diabetes are polyuria (peeing a lot), polyphagia (hungry all the time) and polydipsia (always thirsty). These need to be checked out and if diabetes runs in the family, all the more reason to be tested.

You don’t get diabetes from a family member. However a family member with diabetes is a risk factor. The biggest risk factor in todays society is being overweight.
With diabetes you have excessive thirst and urination, your skin could be itchy, sores take a long time to heal, you could either lose weight or gain weight quickly, you may hvae an extreme lack of energy.

Sign and symptoms of diabetes:
Extreme thirst-mouth always dry no matter how much you drink,
Extreme peeing-waking up every 2 hours to have a pee and having a drink,
Cuts mainly on your legs taking long to heal and getting infected quickly-keep a good antiseptic handy,
Blurred vision,
Easily losing your temper for no reason.
If you have any of these symptoms get a blood check done-after all it is better to be safe than sorry.
