What does having headaches all the time have to do with whether or not you should get tested?? If you are overweight, or are always thirsty urinate a lot, eat or drink a lot of sweets, get jittery sweaty...these are symptoms of possibly being diabetic. You may have 1-2 or all of these symptoms. If even one, you should get tested. My boyfriend almost died, I forced him to go to the hospital, he thought he was just thirsty, or had the flu. Going to the hospital saved his life.

No correlation between diabetes and headaches per se.
Look at other potential root causes for the headaches. Is your room where you sleep well ventilated? Are you drinking plenty of water and getting good exercise outdoors?
If both answers are yes then you should probably see a doctor. If no then fix these issues and see if headaches go away.

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information

theres no reason you dont need to get tested for diabetes and headaches are sometimes a big sign of it if you have to get a figure prick dont worry it doesnt hurt my brother did it when he was 2 and I did it when I was 5 and neither of us jumped a bit I got diagnosed when I was also 5 and I made it so if you happen to have it dont worry and relax the first few months are kinda hard trying to figure stuff out but you will make it!

Why does she want you to get tested? does it run in your family? generally Diabetes comes on after you've had a virus for a long time. It weakens an already weakened pancreas and I lost 100 lbs in a week and didn't eat hardly anything that week but drank water like MAD. I also peed alot that week. I started shivering really bad from losing weight so fast and was breathing really labored and my breath smelled sweet.

The glucose meter is the first-rate option to experiment at dwelling. I validated the very first thing within the morning, correct earlier than breakfast, one hour after breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, correct earlier than lunch, one and 2 hours after lunch, correct earlier than dinner, one and a pair of hours after dinner and correct earlier than going to mattress. I did that for approximately one week, retaining monitor of the entire sugar stages. This will provide a physician a few tough tips to make selections from. The strips (within the US) price approximately $a million.00 apiece, until you get them via coverage (physician prescribed). A physician can run blood exams. He will do a Hemoglobin A1c so that it will inform him your common blood sugar studying over a three month interval. He can do a fasting blood glucose experiment. If he/she prescribes this - ask for a 6 hour one, as that may rule out low blood sugar, too. A three hour one will handiest experiment for diabetes. Low blood sugar can reason a few diabetes-like signs.

Go get tested as when I had headaches they found out my pitutary gland wasn't functioning right. They tested me and found out I had Insipidis Diabtes which was caused by lack of hormones in my body.

get tested and tell the doctor about your headaches as well.
Try and take note of whatever symptoms you can think of before the appointment.
Doctors are not psychic.

if your sugar is unregulated, this could be why you feel bad, get checked. if you don't have it great, if you do, you can treat it and live a normal life...not everyone who has it needs medication, sometimes it is a matter of 'tweaking your diet' to eat more balanced meals and snacks...not giving up everything, just being careful about when you eat certain things.
