fainting at the sight of a needle is no indication of diabetes or any other illness.

I am a physician. We often relate symptoms from others to ourselves and we worry ourselves needlessly. It is not to say that you don't have diabetes, but it is more probable that you only fear that you do. Many physicians do the same as we study about various illnesses. I had beri-beri, Tsatsugamushi fever, leptospirosis, sleeping sickness and leprosy all within six months, and somehow I survived. Fear of needles is a small problem and very common....if your friend uses insulin...get one of the syringes...clean...still wrapped...and inject some water into an orange....do it several times...it will help overcome the fear of needles...needles are vital to life as they deliver medication to keep you alive....after you feel comfortable about needles...destroy both the needle and syringe.

If you aren't feeling well you ought to go see a doctor. If the doc thinks your symptoms are possible indicative of diabetes the doc will run tests. Also, diabetes can be controlled without injection of insulin. Proper nutrition can help stave off the need for injected insulin.

This is like the easiest test a Doc can do for you - it takes, like, a second.
Some things are not worth worrying about - get the test, it is SO simple.
By the way, you're NOT so dead - you just sympathize with your friend. Get a test - you'll feel better, and you caan come up with cool ways for your friend to dal with the problem.

you'll need to goto the Doctor and have them do a blood test. Most of the time what you think are symptoms of it is the fact that you just have low blood sugar from not eating right. You are now aware of the symptoms.

Fainting is not a sign of diabetes. Google Diabetes and you will get lots of info on what it is and symptoms. Many people have it and don't know until they are tested for it.

are you thirsty a lot?
Anyway there are over the counter blood testers you just prick your finger and test the blood. Its a small amount. Pick a scab if your scared of those things. However if you cant getover needles how will you ever get blood work done?
