Answers:
Type 2 is what usually affects overweight people- most but not all type 2's are overweight!. Type 1 has nothing to do with weight,,,,,,,,,,so it is possible!. The thirst and urination are symptoms of diabetes, the stomach pain is not, so it could be a bladder or kidney infection, or something else entirely!. Don't be scared since you don't know anything yet!. Get the tests done and move forward from there!.
I was dx'd with type 2 7 yrs ago and am now healthier than ever before so sometimes a health scare points you in a healthier direction!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pain has nothing to do with diabetes!.

Only a urine and blood test can decide if you are really diabetic!.This is the confirmatory test!.

However,in case there is a history of diabetes in the family,or you have a sedentary life style there are chances you develop diabetes!.Stress and anxiety can aggravate diabetes!.

Lets all hope its not diabetes!. God bless!!! Even if it is, nothing to worry!. If i can live with it,so can you!!!! I live a normal life like anyone else!. Make sure you get lot of exercise!.Simple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If required ,doctor may advise pills!. So Relax!. Its diabetes and not AIDS!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I disagree with the first girl!. I had untreated diabetes for 3+ months and the pain in my stomach was almost unbearable!. I think it was because of the ketones and losing so much weight!. I know what it's like to be so scared and have no idea what in the world is going on-and on top of it, it hurts!. I hope it's not diabetes! And I hope you get better !.

Try and pay attention to the pain you have on your left side!.
Diabetes should not have anything to do with pain on left side!.
Have the doctor check your A1C reading and have it checked every 3 months!. That will give you the answer about Diabetes!.
Don't be scare, I know it's easier said than done, but hang in there!.
GOOD LUCKWww@Answer-Health@Com

Get tested just to make sure!. And just for your information, being slim has little to do with it!. 51% of type 2 diabetics do not have a weight problem!. And many of those who do are that way because of the diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
