For those who are diagnosed as an adult? Was it just a random blood test, family history? Or did you feel weird, what symtoms did you feel other then thirsty and urniation? I know those are the most common but what are some other symtoms that made you get checked.

My boyfriend has Type 1. He woke up one morning and his vision was blurry. He went to the eye doctor and they gave him glasses. He went home, went to bed, woke up and put on his glasses. He couldnt see again. His vision was getting worse. Same thing....went to the eye doctor, they gave him a new perscription. On his way out of the doctor he passed out. They called the ambulance and found out his sugar levels were almost at 1,000. The doctors told him if he would have gone any longer he would have been dead. Thank god!

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

I was watching ER and the story line was an adult with type 1. At the time I had lost 50 pounds, but I was not overwight to start with and I was hungry all the time. I would wake up 5 times during the night to go to the bathroom and I could drink 3 or more 2 liters of diet pepsi in 1 day. It was so bad that I couldn't go more then an hour during the day with out a bathroom break. I was so tired I couldn't stay awake, but I work 2 jobs and have 2 kids so I didn't think much of it.

I'm not a diabetic, but I do have hypoglocemia.... Which can be a very dangerous thing to have according to my Medical Encyclopedia! However, the reason I have my annual diebetese check-up, is because I come from a family who has diabetese, on my father's side, anyway..... My uncle just recently got his leg amputated, and that sent a "Red Flag" to all of us, "The younger generation" to get checked, as soon as possible!!! Altho, my uncle, was an "Alcoholic", and would not take his insulin properly or do anything about his drinking or I dont think he even cared that he had diabetese!!! But, not only did he get part of his leg amputated, he also got into a fight with my brother, who in turn just pushed my uncle (not to disrespect his Elder's), and my uncle landed on a rock, (his head did), and so now he's in the hospitol, because he went into a coma, behind this fall of his. He's much better now, but can't swollow properly, so they wont let him go home, which is a good thing, because alls he wants to do is have another drink, when he gets out!! So, he's in a "Better Place" being in there, (my personal feelings) otherwise, he'd just get out, and we'd all probably be having to prepare for his funeral next, you know..... But, all of his syblings have diabetese, including my father, and a few of my cousins......So.... Its so important to get checked if it runs in your family, for everyone!!!

Diabetic neuropathy concerns......lots of numbing..which would last for weeks and then clear up instantly. Numbing all the way up the left side of my body mostly, but some on the right. Nerve damage due to undiagnosed diabetes.
EXTREME tired feeling after eating high carbs...like pasta.

Incredible fatigue was my first symptom. I had just returned from the Gulf War and a lot of us were sick. I just passed it off as normal until I got to the point where I wanted to sleep all the time. It took weeks of testing before anyone tested my blood sugar because I was not over weight or anything. As the disease progressed I got the thirst and the frequent urination, but at first it was just being tired all of the time.

I would drink an entire gallon of OJ or water because I was so thirsty, and then still be thirsty. Of course then I was peeing every 2 minutes.
Diagnosed type 1 at age 25.

I started having the symptoms characteristic of diabetes:
intense hunger and thrist, extreme fatigue, irritable, foot pain.
My maternal grandparents and my father were/are type 1s. All of the men on my father side have it. So I was encouraged to get tested.

Saw the doctor for what I thought was a nasty yeast infection, something I never get. He sent me for blood work when a simple slide test revealed no yeast. I believe I wrecked my pancreas by ignoring what turned out to be a gangrenous gall bladder, followed by retained gallstones in the common duct the following year. So much for stoicism. Now I know--when you feel lousy, see the doctor!

School of Medicine practical class.. I didn't decide.. the med school did... lol
The thing is, it's good to get a check up even you don't have symptoms.. You can even buy a test kid and do it yourself if you want. Or probably go to med school to get a free one
