Answer 1

Please do not delay on seeing your Doctor. You do have signs, but you can't be sure of anything without a blood test. To help you while you wait to see the doctor, go to www.webmd.com You can go to the symptom checker which will walk you through the questions your doctor needs to know, then give you the info on how soon you need to be seen. You may also look up the differerent diabetes types so you can be better educated on the disease and the importance of being checked by your doctor ASAP! I wish you the best of luck, and hope it isn't anything like diabetes, but something else easy to fix!!!

None of this sounds like undiagnosed diabetes. Dizziness and shakiness are symptoms of hypoglycemia, something an untreated diabetic cannot have. Though it is something an anorexic can have. Poor circulation is also a symptom of an eating disorder, it is only a symptom of diabetes after decades of poor to decent care. Everything screams eating disorder, go see your doctor or just start eating more. You may feel sick but soon enough your body will adapt and you will feel much better. I, too went through something similar to this so message me or something if you think it could help.

#1. you are 13!! life changes a lot at 13.
#2. are you sure you are eating healthy?
#3. Yes!! go to the doctor and make sure you are healthy!

Crud goes around the schools. Everyone gets sick a lot in that environment! Tightly closed buildings and rooms.

Can you borrow Grandma or Grandpa's monitor and check your glucose levels? Be sure to change the lancet then again for them! We don't want to make them sick either!!

Yeah!!! Diabetes tends to run in families, more so with type 2 than type 1, but still!!!

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.

Well, first of all, congratulations on being so in tune to your body. You are on the right track in knowing this is not typically "you".
Take this a step further though, and ask mom if you can see a Dr. about it, explain what is going on, and you would like to put your mind at ease.
These could be symptoms of a diabetic yes, or it may be something else. I am a diabetic myself, as were my sisters. Even if you were to take your blood sugar at home, in order to know for sure, you need further testing in relation to your current symptoms.
Taking care of it, whatever it may be, is monumental in getting you back to feeling yourself again!
If your not for whatever reason comfortable talking to your mom, try to find an adult you are comfortable talking with, and find out what's going on with you.
You sound like you have a mature head on your shoulders, i am sure you will do the right thing!
Good Luck.

Answer 8

I have Type 2 Diabetes so get checked by Dr. You could have Type 2 "early onset" or your thyroid could be slightly off. My son had signs of Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and I had him checked. He had symptoms of both. If Diabetes is prevalent in your family, you need to get a test done. See the Dr. SOON!
Catch it quick so it can be treated, that way your liver, kidneys, gallbladder and pancreas won't be damaged.

Answer 9

It's possible, but the thirst and peeing a lot are more symptoms of diabetes, Being tired and run down could be due to thyroid issues. Being sick all the time means your immune system is weak. Please see a doctor, because it may NOT be diabetes, but could be something else.

Answer 10

Yes, it definitely sounds like you could have diabetes. There can also be food sensitivities involved, like dairy. If I have dairy in my diet, I can count on being sick with a cold once a month. I would definitely start testing your blood. Maybe ask to borrow one of your relative's meters. Start getting more leafy greens in your diet and get rid of sugar and processed foods. Both diabetes types 1 and 2 CAN go into remission, but it takes a tremendous focus on diet and your parents will have to be on board with that (as far as money)... but I want you to know the option is out there!
