sometimes i think i have diabetes because i have most if not all of the symptoms i read about but i’m still not sure if i have diabetes. I would appreciate serveral symptoms and examples if you have diabetes i would appreciate your knowledge of it thanks!

im pretty sure i have diabtes, becus of the dry mouth n frequent urination, but i wanted to know if those symptoms rise as your glucose rises, and if my glucose becomes normal, will the dry mouth stop?. thank you
whats uti?

I found a list that said who could be at risk for diabetes, I was thinking I had it, but only one item on the list partly applies to me… I was so sure but how could it apply to me if I’m barely at risk?

Over the past week, I’ve experienced increased fatigue, followed by massively increased thirst (this is from like, drinking maybe 30 oz. of water a day to 130 oz.). I’ve been told that if you experience any of the symptoms of diabetes, especially excessive thirst, you should go to the doctor, but I’m hesitant to go because of the fact that my weight is remaining constant.
So my question is this, is weight loss usually the first or last symptoms to appear in cases of Type 1 diabetes? And is weight loss always one of the symptoms?
I don’t want to risk letting it go too far before going to the doctor if I do have it, but I also don’t want to go when I don’t have it and look like a hypochondriac.
Any clue?
I took a reading on my grandfathr’s OneTouch meter 3 hours after I had eaten. It was 118.
From what I’ve read, that’s normal for an average weight 16 year old girl, correct?

ive been really tired lately,ive had dry and ichy knuckles, and ive been thirsty alot lately and i go to the bathrom alot.
but i suppose i have some explaations for these.
tired:theres been a cold going around makeing evry1 tired and sick
dry knuckles:maybe seriosis(dont know how to spell it,but my dad has it) and i live in so cal and is 80 degrees in the winter and 120-130 degrees in the summer and its dry here too
and ive always had to go to the bathroom more than others,ALWAYS.
diabetes isnt in my family history.
i drink 2-3 coke zeros a day(mayb aspartame poisoning?)
i eat 2 waffles and 2 eggs for breakfast
a burger and a small bag of chips with some milk for lunch
and normally a pretty healthy dinner.
anything i might want to cut back on?
oh and i eat ALOT of popcorn(1 bag a day)because theres not alot of calories and fat with a nice big glass of milk.should i cut back on that?
idk i just saw a few thing about diabetes and ima bit curious about it.

Who Knows whats wrong with me, i don’t know enough about diabetes to know if i have any possibility of having it. i just need to know about the symptoms, i’m not looking for someone to diagnose me.

I’ve had symptoms such as missed period, excessive drinking, itchy rashes on my wrists, Urinary tract infections (i think, needing to urinate every few minutes and its painful, not diagnosed however), thrush, blurred vision and shakey hands. I’m 99% sure im NOT pregnant and have missed my period for 2 months (ive done pregnancy tests which have been negative 2 months after my missed period).

While looking for an answer i came across a page with symptoms of diabetes. I am a bit overweight i suppose, but i cant get to the doctor for a little while.

Is that a wild guess?

clammy skin
sweating
acting out

They go away after he has a snack or meal. The doctors have tested several times for diabetes but all the tests have come up negative.

when i woke up this morning about 20 minutes later i needed to got to the toilet and i think around 20 minutes after as well.

i’m been quite thirty also and keep drinking juice which is making me urine. But sometime keep going toilet without having a drink.

Also i have a little headache and my chest hurt a little on my right side.And because i keep drinking my stomach hurts. are these symptoms?

I’m about 10-15 pounds overweight. but I’m not sure if i have type 2 diabetes. How can I know if I have type 2 diabetes.
