Answers:
You need to talk to your doctor and schedule a fasting blood test!. I was borderline for about 4 years and all of a sudden crossed the border!. The thirst was my first signal and when I got tested I was definately diabetic!. So you may have crossed the border also!. And if not, the thirst and fatigue should be checked to see what is causing it!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am a diabetic!. I had every symptom that you do before I found out that I am a type 2 diabetic!.
Since diabetes runs in your family, you are at a higher risk of becoming a diabetic!.
It could be a reaction to some of your medications, but if you have been on the same medications for a long time, I would bet that it probably is diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have your Ha1c taken which will tell you on average your blood sugars over a three month period of time!. Normal Ha1c is between 4-6!. It sounds like you have diabetes!. You can buy this kit at the drug store too!. Take your blood sugar and keep a record of the readings!. Try to eat foods that will maintain a steady level, not place you on a roller coaster, where your blood sugar goes high after drinking orange juice and then goes low!. Try eating a slice of whole wheat bread with a slice of turkey!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Get tested again and again until you get an answer!. Diabetes is not something to play around with!. All of your symptoms point in that direction!. I am not a doctor and can't tell you for sure, but I am diabetic,and these are classic indicators of the disease!. Do remember to discuss any medications that you may be taking that could produce these symptoms or even mask them!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Those are some of the symptoms of diabetes!. You must have your doctor do a fasting blood glucose level and also asses your kidney function!. A full physical is needed also!.
