[forster01]

Hi
I am 18yr old never been really sick in my life. I beleieve i have diabetes due to a couple of facts.
1. i have to go to the washroom frequently
2. Very dry mouth
3. Unhealthy diet
i am 6 feet tall and weight about 175 lbs.
so i am wondering if these facts would make me diabetic?

These are not the only symptoms for a diabetic patient.However you must take the precautionary measures like going for a walk or having a controlled sweet diet.

Hi, a major symptom of diabetes is extreme fatigue.
In females also urinary tract infections such as bladder infections.
At times slow healing odd sores can appear on the skin.
The feet can feel odd with numbness or tingling.
Headaches in some people when the blood sugar is soaring.
Thirst which cannot be quenched.
Itchy skin.
Unexplained weight loss.
Blurry eyesight usually after consuming too much sugar in, for example, desserts, soda pop, ice cream.
Or rice, potato chips, potatoes, pasta, popcorn, sweet liquers, beer, pretzels (simple carbohydrates) for these convert to glucose (sugar) in the body over the next hour.

You just feel all over un-well and people who know you well will probably ask you what is happening to you especially if you used to have a lot of energy and were very active and began to act uncharacteristically.

BE VERY CAUTIOUS using this forum most it appears most people answering do NOT HAVE DIABETES, do not have any experience or knowledge of the effects of this degenerative disease and DO NOT HAVE ANSWERS either.

If you feel that you have symptoms of diabetes then why don't you check it yourself with the help of glucometer at home..??

The major symptoms of diabetes is the fatigue in the body.And the other that you informed that you have to go to the bathroom frequently.So i will suggets you that you should have a check up from doctor.

Hi, I'm not sure if you were aware but there is a diabetes research centre in Winnipeg where you can get special treatment and participate in studies. If you are interested the website address is www.winnipegdiabetesresearchgroup.com and it is based at the Health Sciences Centre.
