Answers:
Those are some symptoms of Diabetes!. but you can't self treat!. This is your life you'd be messing with!. You really need to find a dr!. You may be urinating alot and getting thirsty alot because of too much sugar!. Nobody can really tell you except a dr!. Isn't your life worth the money you would spend on a dr!.!? If you are, the drs!. have samples in their office if you need to be medicated!. That helps, not having to pay for meds!. Someone with a Glucose meter can tell you if your sugar is high or low but they can't deliver glucose from your Pancreas or regulate your sugar levels like the meds, you probably need, will!. Please, go and spend the money, Diabetes is nothing to mess around with!. There could be other things going on, also!. You just don't know! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
IF you have undiagnosed diabetes, you probably have ketoacidosis!. You can buy ketone test strips at the pharmacy without prescription!. BUT if the strip reacts and changes color indicating the presence of ketones you MUST go to the hospital!.
Otherwise, I really don't think you don't have diabetes, you are going through cycles of sugar crashes!. Lay off the sweets, and resume a normal healthy balanced diet and see if your symptoms resolve!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You cannot "self treat" diabetes!. If you are a type I, you must have a prescription for insulin!. If you are a type II, you still must have a prescription for oral medication!. It sounds like you know nothing about diabetes, you MUST go to a doctor!. And I would advise you to shell out the money to get insurance before (and if) you get a diagnosis, because there is this clause in health insurance called "pre-existing condition" and you won't be eligible for health insurance, unless it's under a group!.
If you want, go buy a glucometer (you can get one cheap at wal mart)!. for a week, check your blood sugar when you wake up, before you eat lunch and before you eat dinner!. Your blood sugar sould be between 70-120!. At least that way you will have an idea if you need to go to a doctor for DIABETES, however if your blood sugar is normal, something else is going on so you still need to go to the doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You have to go to a doctor for this!. Try a free clinic or something because having diabetes isn't just controlling sugar, you need to know the theory of the disease!.
My fiance had diabetes an entire year before he knew it and went to the doctor!. He finally went when he passed out at work!. His blood sugar was so high that the doctor was amazed that he was alive!.
The symptoms your explaining to me especially the sweet smelling urine are usually cause by 2 different conditions!. Top one being Diabetes Mellitus or a more rare cause called Maple Syrup Urine Disease!. Both are life threatening!.
Please please try to find the money to get to a doctor!. I wish you the best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You really can't seeing as the basic treatment (at least the one that the ydid on me) is: I!.V!. Blood Draws-basic blood panel, Diagnoses, Hospitalization, I!.V!. fluids/medication, more blood draws, education, slef treatment!. YOu really need to go to the doc because you could die if untreated, or if treated wrong!. You do sound like you have it though!. I'm sorry if you do!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Unfortunately diabetes is a serious illness that cannot be managed without the means of a doctor!. I suggest doing some research to see if there are any free clinics that you could go to in your area!. Best wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can't!. You have to go to the doctors and have a glucose tolerance test (blood tests)!. You can't tell just by the symptoms (although they are tell-tale symptoms of diabetes)!.
