I was wondering what all fruits have in common. Every time I eat fruits like bananas, strawberries, avocados, etc, my lips and/or throat itch. I think I have food allergies, but I'm not quite sure. Sometimes when I eat tofu the same thing happens too, and soy. I REALLY love the taste of fruits, but I can't eat them, and that's a big let down. I was just wondering what ingredients in the fruits makes my lips/throat itch. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.

My question is lets say right now I do have diabetes but I do not know because I havnt been checked...so if I have diabetes right now and basically do nothing about it because I do not know I have diabetes. What will evenutally happen? Will I like wake up tommorrow in pain and go to the hospital? Will I like have a seizure? Or what will happen to me so then for exmaple I get a stroke and I go to the hospital they do blood work then find out...so what acutally happens to someone who has diabetes and doesn't know? Someone told me this which I think is true because I am always scared thinking I have diabetes and other stuff he said "If you had diabetes which you thought you had for almost 3 months you would know you had diabetes something would have been happened."
Thank you all very very much and take care.

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.
