You have lots of the symptoms, but don't rely on that!. Make an appointment to have an ACl test!. This is a fasting blood test and will show what your blood sugar has been for the past 3 months!. Don't be scared of diabetes, but respect it!. Start exercising and that will help you!. But please see your doctor and let him or her decide whether or not you are diabetic!. If you are it isn't the end of the world, just listen to the nutritionist and readjust your eating and exercising habits - that is half the battle!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Craving sweets is not a sign of type 1 or type 2 diabetes!. Nor is burning feet or itchy skin!.
Thirst, dizziness, and irritability are symptoms of type 1 diabetes!.
It would be wise to visit your doctor and tell them about the symptoms you are displaying!.
If your are afraid of needles, there is the Insulin pump
Here is a photo of one!.

This uses a tube which is injected into your body every 3 to 4 days, and this replaces needles!.
However, it goes in with a needle!.
But this is way more 'enjoyable' than having around 5 needles a day!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It sounds like there is a very good chance you are!. Please don't wait to see your doctor!. You may be able to control it will diet and exercise alone, or possibly by taking a pill, and not need insulin, but if left untreated it can be extremely dangerous!. Your doctor will do a simple, painless, inexpensive blood test to determine if you are!.
