Question:

Diabetic help plz!!!!?

I was just wondering what some of the symptoms of diabetes was? I am 23 and have to pee constantly..I dont drink to much, or have a bladder or kidney infection or nothing like that...I have gained weight suddenly, and am thirsty a lot...are these symptoms?? I was thinking of going to the Dr and having them do some tests, but just wondering if i was being a hypocondriac (sp?) or if these are some symptoms if it...They do run in my family also...I may have other symptoms too and just dont realize it yet...what symptoms did you have to know that you needed to see a dr?? Thanks!


Answers:

The most common symtons of Type 1 Diabetes (insulin dependant diabetes) are feeling thirsty and wanting to drink lots, blurred vision, going to the toilet lots, weight loss, feeling tired/lethargic. Sometimes people find that cuts and sore's take a long time to heal. Type 2 Diabetes (non insulin dependant diabetes) sometimes has no symtoms but usually affects people over the age of 45-50. Go to see your local doctor. He can do a simple finger prick test to see if your blood glucose level is elevated. If it is he might send your for a more diagnostic test where you will need to have a fasting blood test. Good Luck
