Answer 1

Are you asking if you have diabetes? Or do you already have it? If you do not have it yet, then you are experience HYPERGLYCEMIA. Symptoms of hyperglycemia (or high blood sugar) include frequent urination, thirst, and hunger. You MUST visit your doctor right away. Or you will eventually faint and become unconscious. I URGE you to visit right away. If you already have diabetes type one. Then you should know what to do when experiencing hyperglycemia. If your grandma has diabetes also, it might pass down through genetics. I URGE you again to visit your doctor. Other symptoms include shivering, and vision problems; as well as weight lost (you may be hungry and keep eating, but you will notice that you are losing weight). You MUST VISIT YOUR DOCTOR. If your grandma has a meter test, then test yourself. If you are above 300. You must VISIT YOUR DOCTOR. I do not want you to faint and become unconscious, like I have. HURRY.

Answer 2

VISIT YOUR DOCTOR. My sister who is 9 years old got diagnosed with type 1 over a year ago. She was gettin little symptoms but my mom thought nothing of it until she couldnt breathe or walk properly and was bein sick like 10 times a day and was all white like marilyn manson.


We took her to the hospital and they had to do a load of crazy **** to her and she almost went into a coma and had to stay for a week. Type 1 diabeties has NOTHING to do with your sugar intake or diet. If u go to the doctors now they can probably test u and if ur diabetic it wont be such a hustle. Dont leave any longer, and if u test positive then get the rest of ur family tested. You blood sugar should be between 4 and 7. If its not ur probably diabetic.

Im only 12 years old but i know quite a bit about the condition cos of my sister. I drink about 10 bottles of water a day and pee way more than 6 times a day but im not diabetic and i dont 100% think u are either. Best wishes. :D

Answer 4

Certainly go see a doctor. Diabetes can be easily diagnosed with a simple blood test. However, it does not sound to me like type 1 diabetes. Type 1 usually has a sudden onset. I know when my blood sugars are extremely high (dka) I can drink 6 bottles of water an hour. When I was diagnosed with diabetes, I lost about 40% of my body weight in about 1.5 weeks. That being said, everybody is different. Like I said, go see a doctor.

Answer 5

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.

do you have an urgent need to pee, or wet your pants because you couldnt waiit ?

Diabetes test is simple blood test at the doctors office . Ask your parents if you can get tested.

Answer 7

Symptoms of diabetes either type 1 or type 2 is constantly going to the bathroom and drinking lots of liquid, and fast weight lost. Diabetes has no age limit. I had it since i was 2 year old. I think you should contact your doctor and go in for a check up. Its best for you to know early so you can deal with it. Please remember its not your death certificate but if not taken care of or treated it can be.

Do You Have Diabetes?
Millions of people have diabetes mellitus, commonly called diabetes. You may be surprised to know that many of these people don’t even know they have it.

Diabetes is a serious disease and should not be ignored. If you have it, correct treatment can help you live a long and healthy life.

What Is Diabetes?
If you have diabetes, your body can’t make or use insulin. Insulin helps change sugar into energy to keep you alive.

There are different kinds of diabetes. The main ones are type 1 and type 2.

Type 1 Diabetes
This type of diabetes is mostly found in children and young adults. If you have type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin and you must inject insulin daily.

You May:
urinate often
be very thirsty
be very hungry
lose a lot of weight
be very tired
be irritable
have blurred vision
have trouble seeing.
Type 2 Diabetes
Most people with diabetes have this form of the disease. Type 2 is usually found in people over 45, who have diabetes in their family, who are overweight, who don’t exercise, and who have cholesterol problems. It is also common in certain racial and ethnic groups (blacks, American Indians, and Hispanics) and in women who had diabetes when they were pregnant. If you have type 2 diabetes, your body cannot make enough insulin or correctly use it. Treatment is diabetes pills and sometimes insulin injections, as well as diet and exercise.

You May Have:
any of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes
a lot of infections
cuts or bruises that heal slowly
tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
skin, gum, or bladder infections that keep coming back.
Controlling Diabetes
Daily monitoring and careful control of blood sugar levels are the most important steps to take for people with diabetes. If not treated, diabetes can cause:

High blood sugar (which could make you thirsty, tired, lose weight, urinate often, or give you infections that won’t go away)
Many serious health problems (which could hurt your eyes, kidneys, nerves, or heart).
Warning: Low Blood Sugar
People with diabetes may develop low blood sugar because their blood has too much insulin or other blood sugar-lowering medication or from not eating enough food. It is important to follow the eating and medication schedule your doctor has prescribed to avoid low blood sugar.

Low blood sugar could make you shaky, dizzy, sweaty, hungry, have a headache, have pale skin color, have sudden mood or behavior changes, have clumsy or jerky movements, have difficulty paying attention, feel confused, or have tingling sensations around the mouth.

Taking Care of Your Diabetes
The best way to take care of your diabetes is to make sure the levels or amount of sugar in your blood are near the normal range. This will make you feel better and help you stay healthy.

Your doctor will tell you how often to check your blood sugar level. To do this, you will need to take a drop of your blood and place it on a special test strip. Then a device, called a blood glucose meter, reads the strip. This device measures the amount of sugar in your blood.

Writing down this level, along with the time and date, will help you see how well your treatment plan is working.

Remember:
A person’s blood sugar level rises after eating any meal that contains carbohydrates or protein. Table sugar (also called ?sucrose) counts as a carbohydrate. Artificial sweeteners, such as saccharin, aspartame (NutraSweet), and sucralose (Splenda), do not count as carbohydrates or fats. They make food taste sweet. But they do not raise blood sugar levels and have little or no calories.

What Else Can You Do?
Eat well-balanced meals. The right amount of healthy food will keep your weight under control and help manage your diabetes.

Your body needs food from the four main food groups every day:

Fruits and vegetables (oranges, apples, bananas, carrots, and spinach)
Whole grains, cereals, and bread (wheat, rice, oats, bran, and barley)
Dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt)
Meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dried beans, and nuts.
Remember:
Too much fat and cholesterol in your diet can be very harmful to people with diabetes. Food that is high in fat includes red meat, dairy products (whole milk, cream, cheese, and ice cream), egg yolks, butter, salad dressings, vegetable oils, and many desserts.

Can You Do Anything Else?
Exercise is important for good diabetes control. It usually lowers blood sugar and may help insulin work better. Exercise and a healthy diet can also help you take off extra pounds if you are overweight.

Warning:
Check with your doctor before starting any exercise program. You may need a snack before or during the activity to avoid having low blood sugar while you exercise.

Answer 10

Usually diabetes makes you overweight. If you don't gain weight you would be more likely to have low blood sugar. You sound normal to me! I have low blood sugar and I get sick easily, like weak and nauseated and feeling like I'm going to pass out.
