I was tested for it when I was a kid, but the results were negative. Could I have developed it later in life? (I am 25 now.) My grandfather had it, and later passed away as a result. Resently I went to the hospital for head pain, it was diagnosed as inflamed nerves on my brain. When I looked up the possible causes of that, diabetes came up many times. Plus I have been fairly fatigued lately, and I have UTI that has been a ***** to get rid of. My lbaby toes have been going numb here and there. And my kidneys have been hurting lately. When I was in the emeregency room the other day, they took a bunch of blood for testing. But they said it came back normal. Would they have seen if I had diabetes from that, and send me my full results later by mail? Or do I need to take a different test for diabetes? I am very worried. Should I be, or am I just being paranoid? What do I need to do? I don't want my medical bills to keep piling up. Can I get disability, or partial disability?

Diabetes can hit you at any age. Symptoms include some of what you mentioned, lethargy, kidney problems, neuropathy (damaged nerve endings in feet) plus a whole list of other things. Are you passing more urine, very thirsty? The hospital may not have tested you for diabetes.
Take a urine sample to your family doctor and he/she will test it for diabetes, followed up by a blood test. I live in England, so I can't tell you what you can claim, disability wise. It's good that you're very aware of diabetes, and the problems it causes. I just spent a month in hospital, due to renal failure. I thought I just had a slight infection and ignored it for too long.
I've certainly learned my lesson the hard way. You're not being paranoid, you're being cautious. Good luck with everything and I hope your health improves soon.

I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes recently. They would tell you immediately, because it is imperative to get on some form of treatment. They will not wait to tell you. Stress can cause many side effects.

it is possible for you to develope it later in life, so next time you see you doctor, tell him or her that you think you have developed diabetes and you wish to be tested.

I would go back and get it checked out. Just because it was negative as a child you could still get it now. I would google it and check your symptoms. Or you could go to webmd.com
