Yes when you have chronic headaches it is a sign of many issues and needs to looked at. While there ask for a glucose tolerance test. When I got diagnosed I did not have migraines even though I get them, I felt like I had the flu. See a doctor ASAP

I would get tested. One of the symptoms of high blood sugar that I had was lethargy, migraines, and stomach pains. If diabetes runs in your family, then someone should have a blood glucose monitor. Don't eat anything after dinner, go to bed, and when you get up have one of your family members check your blood sugar. If the number is lower than 100, you are not diabetic. If the number is between 100 and 125, you have what is called pre-diabetes. If the number is over 125, you are diabetic and should make an appointment with your doctor for a test called the glucose tolerance test. This test will tell your doctor how bad of a diabetic you are and will help him prescribe the correct medicine for you.
Hope that helps!

The fact that it runs in your family is reason enough for you to go get a check up. You also do not have to be overweight to be diabetic. And,yes I would go to the doctor ASAP,because if it is diabetes you will want help right away. Diabetes can be very serious if not treated. But it can be treated,so Good luck.

Since diabetes runs in your family, it never hurts to let the dr. keep a check on things.
I would seriously suggest going to the dr. just for the plain fact that you're feeling weak and are having mirgraines. Also, you might suggest to the dr. a full blood work to make sure you're not missing any vitamins in your diet. I found I was lacking in iron and iron pills the dr. gave me helped my weakspells I was having.
The question is, do you want to feel better? If so, talk to your dr. They might be able to help.
What I do before a dr. visit, is to type up a list of all the symptoms I'm having and any questions I have for the dr. That way I know I don't miss anything important, plus it also helps your dr. to be able to go through a list visually. Sometimes things are missed when you merely just tell the dr. what's going on. Visual can help.

Migraines are not assoiated with diabetes. You can control the migraines by taking the herb Feverfew. Solaray makes an excellent fresh Feverfew capsule. Take one or 2 a day for 2 months and your migraines should stop.
Now, as to the thirst and peeing: yes you should be checked for diabetes.!!

Just go see a Dr. and get checked out. If you are diabetic this is the most important thing to do and the only way to find out.

The symptoms of diabetes are constant urination and thirst, weight gain, and occasionally swelling in the ankles & feet.
You could have anything from fibromyalgia to cancer. You definately need to see a doctor when you don't feel right.

Have you had any real head truma? If so...tell your doc, its an actual disorder.....what happens is usually the truma hurt a part of your brain, it makes it so that your body doesn't get the message from your brain to conceal and absorb water......so you'll use the bathroom a lot, and drink a lot of water.....SEE THE DOCTOR.....you have all of the symtomes.
