While I do not want to jinx myself into thinking I have something I do not have, I am realistic about some of the symptoms I have.
I am obese. I am 5'5" 285 lbs.
Diabetes runs in my family *all my maternal great-aunts, my maternal grandma and my mom are all diabetics*
I am always hungry and most days of the month I crave sweets
I feel like I have to pee all the time
I have dry skin at times
Could I be diabetic or do I just need to lose weight and pray for the best? I do try to walk an hour a day through my local park and I have been a vegetarian for 2 years. I am trying to make changes.
Let me also add that some of the symptoms are more monthly too. When I am PMS-ing, I cannot eat enough and I CRAVE CRAVE sugar all the time. When I do go on a sugar binge, I am instantly sleepy afterwards/
Any and all insight would be appreciated.
