After a few events recently, I've been wondering if I could have diabetes. Well, I've always drunk a lot [as in fluids, not alcohol!], which I've been told by my doctor that it's good that I drink a lot but I don't think he ran any diabetes tests. But for a little while now, I've started to feel a bit weak/faint after I've eaten a meal and not had a dessert afterwards. I went out for a meal about an hour ago and I didn't have a desert, I came home about half an hour ago and I started to feel a bit like this - it's difficult to describe the feeling, just kind of weak and may be a little dizzy. Anyway, so I went and got a caramel shortcake from the cupboard and I've started to feel a bit better, but not totally. It only happens occasionally, but it's still something. Are these definite symptoms of diabetes or does it happen to most people quite a lot?
As far as I know, there are no other cases of diabetes in the family. I have a good realtionship with my Mum but it...

.. would just feel a bit odd talking to her about it. When I told her that I felt dizzy just now she said, 'oh that's odd.' And I don't know, it would just feel strange asking her to go to the doctors so they could test for diabetes - do you know what I mean?
Anyway, what are your opinions?
