You have a lot of problems. Diabetes may be in the picture somewhere. Tired after a good nights sleep can be attributed to sleep apnea, a condition where one stops breathing for several seconds every few minutes. If you go to the bathroom that often and not much is happening you may have a bladder infection. Vaginal infections and bladder infections have to be treated with antibiotics. If you are sexually active, your partner may be the source of the vaginal infections. Is he circumcised? Diabetes will cause vision and kidney problems, but then so will high blood pressure. Yes I do believer you should see your doctor. Good luck to you, I hope you feel better soon. Make sure you take the full prescription from the doctor.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes,I was in 8th grade. I was 5'8" and weighed less than 80 pounds. I could tell something was wrong. I couldn't go to school with out bringing 5 water bottles with me, and I tended to get up once or twice a period to use the bathroom. During the night, it was about 5 or 6 times. I woke up with my tounge as dry as the sahara desert. I did not have problems with my vision, but diabetics tend to have eyesight infractures later in life.

I would go and get it checked out just to be safe.

It sounds possible, however, you may have two things at once. The vaginal infections are a symptom of yeast - not diabetes. However yeast loves diabetic bodies.

For some basic info on yeast and blood sugar imbalances, check out www.hufa.org. Especially start the snacking, one right before bedtime, mainly protein based. That should help the tiredness upon waking.

A doctor's visit is in order.

What your describing certainly sounds like it could be diabetes, but they could also be symptomatic to something else.

My best advice: Go get checked out. As previously mentioned the longer you leave it the more likely you are to suffer with diabetic complications and trust me, it aint pretty. Diabetic neuropathy, gangrene, blindness etc.

Goodluck

What are you waiting for...a written invitation? With diabetes everything you do will effect you in the long run. Drink lots of water cut the carbs and get your behind to a doctor...

Yes. See your doctor. The frequent urination and the loss of weight, plus the vision changes could indicate diabetes, esp. if its in your family

It never hurts to see a doctor.. You may have something seriously wrong with you and not even know it. Diabetes is nothing to ignore, you could ultimately lose a limb

As per your description, you might be suffering from diabetes and in case it is traced out to be the same then in order to keep your blood sugar level under control, you need not to panic to visit a doctor. There are no Allopathic medicines available in the market that will cure the diabetic conditions of humans but they will control the disorder up to certain levels. The disease is developed due to eating disorders and hereditary. In the first place, I have never accepted diabetes as disease but considered it to be a disorder. The medicine is readily available at home in the form of natural products and you need not to go to market to purchase expensive medicines. To keep the sugar level under control, follow my suggestions and see the difference. Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis (drink this juice twice a day if you are insulin dependent) until you start feeling relief and your blood sugar level starts decreasing and continue further for a very long time until your sugar level reaches border line. The sugar level will certainly come down. Eat plenty of cucumber before meal to quench your thrust and to fill your empty stomach. Cucumbers are considered and proved to be very good for diabetic patients. Diabetic patients are always hungry to eat but can not eat all. Avoid banana, mango, custard apple and sweets like ice cream, pastry and cold drinks totally. If you are insulin dependent, even eating rice would be very harmful. You can eat fruits like guava, pineapple, pomegranate, papaya, muskmelon and watermelon. Taking one tea spoon Fenugreek powder and quarter tea spoon cinnamon powder on empty stomach before breakfast daily would be beneficial to diabetic patients. Regular brisk walking for one hour daily would be the best ideal medicine for diabetic patients. Cut down on non-vegetarian, fast, spicy and oily food, aerated cold drinks and foods rich in calories. Correct bowel movements if constipated. Avoid alcohol and tobacco also. Tea and coffee are also bad for health because the Caffeine promote calcium excretion from the body and results in calcium loss from the bones. Drink plenty of water daily. Take one tablet of Diabecon (By Himalaya an Herbal Health Care Company in India) twice a day if available in your country as a maintenance dose. Take care and be in good health.
