Answer 3

You should see a doctor. My grandfather used to have diabetes but I don't know the exact details of his behavior but I think that this could also be possible signs.(don't ask me why i used that in past tense) other symthoms are:

Type 1 diabetes develops much more quickly, usually over a few weeks, and symptoms are normally very obvious.

In both types of diabetes, the symptoms are quickly relieved once the diabetes is treated. Early treatment will also reduce the chances of developing serious health problems.

Type 2 diabetes develops slowly and the symptoms are usually less severe. Some people may not notice any symptoms at all and their diabetes is only picked up in a routine medical check up. Some people may put the symptoms down to 'getting older' or 'overwork'.

Answer 4

Thirst is often cited as a classic symptom of Type 1 diabetes, but it doesn't happen in all cases. Author Anne Rice lapsed into a coma with b.s. about eight times the normal max even though she never "drank like a diabetic."

Please go to the doctor -- it looks to me like the last thing you need right now is to be picked up by the police and put in a drunk tank (the acetone given off by an untreated diabetic can be smelled on the breath and is sometimes thought to be alcohol).

Answer 5

Yes ... I'm with chris r and many others: I don't think you have diabetes!

There are 2 even stronger signs of diabetes than constant urination, or dizziness!
They are constant thirst - you want to do more drinking than peeing even!!

Also, lethargy ... you really get tired or feel tired a lot of the time

Glucose does not really reach the cells of the body when you have Diabetes; so you are not getting the main ingredient necessary for energy production that your body needs.
Apparently latest research shows that cholesterol molecules block many of the gateways that normally allow glucose molecules into the cells.
Glucose therfore remains in the bloodstream instead, and the body cannot release enough insulin to control the high blood sugar levels in your bloodstream.

Because Glucose remains in your blood, Your body calls upon more and more water ingestion in an endeavour to return blood consistency to normal levels.
So you are constantly thirsty.

Answer 6

You probably already know the answer to your own question.

The symptoms you are describing all could be symptoms of diabetes. Are you constantly thirsty too? If so, then you need to get yourself to your doctor and get an evaluation of what is going on with you.

If it is diabetes, you know if it goes untreated that it can lead to more serious issues, like blindness. On top of that, if you were driving and have a dizzy spell like that you could be involved in an accident and injure yourself as well as someone else that has nothing to do with it.

Please get to a doctor and have it taken care of properly.

Hmmmm. . . . Married at seventeen? I hope it is for love and not necessity. Good luck.

Answer 7

till now you have one symptom of the clinical triad of diabetes , which are the increased urination, increased eating and weight loss , sometimes diabetes is asymptomatic and it comes to attention when the person suffers from myocardial infarction , hypertension or eye problems, increased urination has many causes including diabetes, other is urinary tract infections , stones in the urinary bladder at the trigone area ,alcohol psychogenic... etc

to become more sure because some cases of diabetes occur early in life your doctor should ask glucose tolerance test (your doctor will explain this to you ), other tests that should be done are urine analysis for sugar (to exclude a rare case called glycusuria that mimic diabetes but it s a benign condition) and to get release from the pressure of stones), urine culture to exclude infection .

Answer 8

if you have diabetes you will have to pee alot but you will also have an unquenched thirst. your tongue will feel dry no matter how much water you drink. this will happen until your blood sugar gets normalized it sounds like you might have an inner ear infection go to the doc hell know for sure

Answer 9

well, those are some of the symptoms.


It would be better to see a doctor NOW and get diagnosed, so you can start making healthy choices. If it isn't diabetes, you still need to find out what is going on.

Answer 10

Your doctor can do a very quick urine test to check for diabetes. Whatever is wrong with you, you really need to seek medical advice and you need to do it now before things get worse.

Answer 11

it sure is a symptom...do you have any others though. To be sure go to your doctors and have a blood test done. Its quick and simple. More than likely though it it runs in the family your chances are you may get it later in life.
