Hello everyone thank you for taking your time and helping me out on my question. My question is I am 16 years old I weigh 252lbs 5'10 I know that I am overweight I have been making alot of changes and am on my way to losing alot of weight. I was wondering how do you really know you have diabetes unless you get checked via blood work etc. Basically I could have diabetes right now and not even know it? So what would evenutally happen if I do nothing about it because I dont know I have it? Will I like die tommorrow or get very very sick and go to the hospital and they will tell me I have diabetes. Nobody on my mothers or fathers side has had diabetes or any medical problems at all...so what are the chances of me having it? I am often thirsty, dry mouth, tired...etc.

Thank you very very much in reading and helping.
Take care everyone.

We were told that my grandmother wouldn't live for longer than a few weeks if we didn't agree to a feeding tube (which we didn't) She went through a period of a few days without eating and drinking and ran a high fever about a week ago. We were prepared for the worst. On the third day she began to come out of the fever and started drinking like crazy. I gave her 7 sodas and 3 cups of water that night. The following day the Dr. told us that she had asperating pnemonia. This has been about a week ago. Can anyone help me understand whats going on? I can't help but feel like all the drinking was my fault and I question how long she can live with this condition.

I brush my teeth , tounge ,floss, use mouth wash after eating. If i eat 4 times a day thats means i brush 4 times. I have tried mouth rinse and they just burn my tounge and lips...now my lips are lil bit pink (anything that has alcohol does not help it makes things worse. I go to the dentist every 6 months. I stopped using over the counter toothpaste and mouth rinsers. Now i am using Oxyfresh toothpaste and mouth rinse that i buy from my dentist. Sometimes when i talk to people i chew a gum. It does not help at all.Chewing a gum makes it worse. I dont think my bad breath is coming from my teeth its like its coming from my neck or something . I just dont know how to explain it. When i tell my densist he just say oh no brush and floss hard!.....My teeth dont bleed or anything.
Pls guys help, i am starting school tomorrow its so embarrasing and depressing ppl.

I like to worry about everything, I actually enjoy doing it. Is that considered weird? Not that I mind if it is weird. I mean can it have a detrimental factor to my mental psyche if I am constantly worrying about things?

I been trying to keep my cool every time my dad get angrey at me for stupid reasons. He been threating me to kick me out of the house ever since i was like 5 years old and THat still bothers me and for the past couple weeks i been feeling really angry stressed and depressed.

the two most common (or most commonly talked about) mental health issues out there today are A.D.D. & depression. & even if the diseases aren't opposites, the medicine taken for them are (anti-depressants are downers & a.d.d. med's are uppers). so i wonder if that will ultimately lead to bi-polar to become far more common.

I'm trying to exercise during the early morning because I'm dead tired after work. If I wake up at 5:30am every day even if I haven't slept at least 6-7 hours.. is the exercise basically worthless because my body isn't well rested?
