Answer 1

You could have GERD or a slight infection, such as diverticulitis. You need to see a doctor for a basic simple checkup which shouldn't cost a lot or take a long time. The worst complication of Diabetes would be high blood pressure. So your parents should take this seriously.

Answer 4

I would ask to see a doctor

Type 1 diabetes is the second most common chronic disease in children (after asthma). About 13,000 new cases are diagnosed in the U.S. each year. Patients with type 1 diabetes make up about 5 percent to 10 percent of all cases of diabetes. It most commonly appears in girls and boys when they are about 14 years old. Usually, type 1 diabetes is first diagnosed in children, teenagers, or young adults but it can occur at any age.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks the beta cells in the pancreas that make insulin. As a result, the pancreas does not make insulin, a hormone which helps use blood sugar (glucose) for energy. The cells become starved of energy and there is an excess of glucose in the blood. People with Type 1 diabetes must have daily injections of insulin to live. Proper diet, exercise and home blood sugar monitoring are essential to manage the disease.

Food and exercise must also be balanced because of the risk of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, and hyperglycemia, high blood sugar.

Both are life-threatening concerns. When hypoglycemia develops, cells are not getting enough glucose. Confusion, loss of consciousness, coma and death results when the brain is deprived of glucose for too long.

Hyperglycemia and prolonged absence of insulin may lead to ketoacidosis, the accumulation of ketones in the blood when the body uses fat for energy instead of glucose. Ketones make the blood acidic and slow down all body functions. Like hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia can also lead to coma and death.

Symptoms
Frequent urination
Extreme thirst
Extreme hunger

Answer 5

Go to MD for a check up.
It does not sound like it, the usual synptoms are thirst, weight loss or gain, frequent urination.

Answer 6

I am a little perplexed as to why your mother would just blow off your complaints! They sound serious enough to me to warrant a visit to your family physician. If your mom still for some reason won't take you to the doctor, go to your school nurse and talk to her about your symptoms.

Answer 7

You're a hypochodriach!
