I am a 23 yr old female, 5'10'' and 190 lbs. In the past week I have started to be hungry all of the time, I drink like a fish and have to pee all of the time, although I have never wet the bed. I also am EXHAUSTED, even to te point of feeling "out of it." Like I am not sure whats going on because I am so tired, and I have no strength. Also, I have the really weird, "buzzing/ tingling" feeling that radiates through my face, chest, arms/fingers and legs/feet. It doesn't last a real long time, but it happens very frequently (at least in the last 3 days). Today, while at school (I teach) I thought I was going to pass out in the restroom. I just felt so tired, weak, and faint. I dont know what to do. If you have experienced this or have any good thoughts please , please let me know what it could be. I feel so weird and am nervous.

Sorry I know I posted a similar question to this before, but I posted it in the wrong spot. I wanted to post it in diabetes because that's what I am most worried about.

Stop eating / drinking sugary items (including coca cola). Consume food in small quantity more times in a day.
Go to a Clinical lab and take fasting blood sugar. If it is below 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L), then you have no diabetes. If it is between 100 to 126 mg/dL (5.5 to 7 mmol/L), then you have prediabetes condition. If you have more than 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L), then you have diabetes.
Please see the webpages for more details on Glucose test.

You are describing the classic symptoms of Type II Diabetes. But, these symptoms could also be a hundred other conditions. Come on now, you are an intelligent woman - a teacher. You must know that you need to call your doctor tomorrow morning!
Do it, do it, do it. You need a doctor to determine what's going on with you.

If you don't have a doctor, go to the drug store and buy a glucometer. Wait at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours) after having anything at all to eat or drink, stick your finger and take your own blood test. This will at least tell you if the symptoms you're having are from Diabetes or not.

But, I can not urger you strongly enough to call a doctor tomorrow.

Good luck to you!

If you drink a lot you'll pee a lot. Do you get up several times a night to pee? It's more telling when you pee, like at night when you're sleeping and NOT drinking a lot. The best thing to do is go in and be tested. It's simple. have a glucose tolerance test done. This will catch early diabetes where as the typical fasting test will not. Although your symptoms may or may not be diabetic related you definitely need to have them checked out with a thorough medical exam!!! Take care.

Before you get all crazy running to expensive doctors, just go to walmart and buy thier cheapest blood sugar monitor. It's around $10 and includes some test strips. Check you bg. If it's above 200mg/dl, than you are most likely a diabetic. Then you can follow up with a doctor if you have a high blood sugar reading.
Don't wait. You sound like you are probably a late blooming type 1.

something is misguided if it infringes on a individual's organic rights. all everybody is entitled to issues which incorporate existence, liberty, and prosperity. So in case you kill a individual, you eliminate their existence. in case you place them with the aid of dominance and abuse without their consent, you eliminate their liberty. in case you thieve their sources or money, you're affecting their prosperity. something is suited if it preserves those organic rights and promotes them for others. in case you maintain somebody, paintings to furnish people suffrage, or supply to charity, you're doing the splendid component. even with the indisputable fact that, the line between suited and incorrect regularly turns into blurred. case in point, assume you kill a murderer who broke into your homestead to maintain your individual kinfolk. in this occasion, we can dissect your strikes and be sure them in my view to be the two suited or incorrect. Killing the guy grew to become into incorrect, yet protecting your loved ones and sources grew to become into suited. subsequently, the form of suited strikes and the quantity of great that grew to become into executed is larger than the evil, so which you would be suited in this occasion.
