YOU BETTER GO RIGHT AWAY, here's why:
I just got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes!. I was ignoring it!. Two years ago, I was "borderline" and was given Avandia to try to help it!. I stopped drinking sodas and switched to Splenda!. Then I lost my job and my insurance, so I never followed up with it!.
For two years I was "kinda" watching my sugar, "roughly" not eating so much sugar, then early this week my kidneys started hurting!. I thought I had a kidney infection because I don't drink water a lot, mostly tea, coffee, diet soda, juice, etc!.
Anyways, I pee'd in a cup and the results were lots of sugar in my urine!. I had a number of "250"!. The norm is 99 or below I think!. (still learning this)
Some things to note, I'm 35, not that old, yet, it seems from what I've read, 45 year olds are around the time most folks get this!. If you are 19, you better think about this:
1!. Diabetes is a silent killer!. My dr!. said he'd rather get other diseases than this, its the worse!.
2!. Damage to your eyes = eventual blindness!. If your eyes are blurring, GO!. Mine were 2 years ago!. I work w/ computers all day and ignored it, thinking it was just eyestrain!. Nope!.
3!.Damage to your nerves, starting w/ fingertips and toes!. I ignored this, thinking it was being on my feet and carpal tunnel from computer!. Eventual nerve damage and if your feet go numb, you may get a cut and it gets infected and you don't even know it, eventually they cut your foot off!.
4!. Damage to your kidneys!. Overflow of sugar goes into your bloodstream and urine!. Your kindneys eventually fail and you need to get a dialysis!.
5!. Damage to your heart!. Nerves to heart get messed up as well!.
6!. Stroke risk increased!. Damaged blood vessels and impedes blood cell function, improper clotting, etc!.
7!. Digestive system damage!. Nerve damage messes up your digestive process and things go out of whack!. Bowels irregular, etc!.
This disease is really really BAD!. Its the silent killer and doesn't get the press that "cancer" and "heart disease" gets!.
Finally, you will eventually need to take pills every day and/or shots of insulin!. Your body chemistry goes out of whack and do you really want to prick yourself with a lancet morning and evening every day just to make sure your blood is ok!?
Think about this and you can see, you better go to a doctor NOW!.
I've already brought my counts down in 3 days!. I pee'd in a cup today and they said I have "negative" glucose in my urine, so the medicine is working, but for me, I have to take this every day till I lose weight and get it in control!.
You are 19, don't ruin your life!. Eating badly is the worse thing we can do to our bodies!.
You have the symptoms of diabetes, better change lifestyle now or you will regret it like me!. I had a 2 year warning and ignored it!.
Consider yourself warned!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I am no doctor, I am only 19 but I have hypoglycemia, which is low blood sugar!. It sounds like you might have been experiencing it too!. I have those symptoms daily!. However, you can have hypoglycemia and not be diabetic!. As in my case, but I think you should definitely go and get checked out by your family doctor and tell him your symptoms and thoughts!. It's better to be safe than sorry!
