diabetes symptoms, or nothing?

I am an eighteen year old girl.  I have been wondering if I could have diabetes for a while.  I have lower back pain and the pain runs down my leg and my toes often go to sleep.  I also drink a lot of liquid and urinate a lot.  I get faint when I stand up especially when I'm hot, although it hasn't happened for a while.  Sometimes my fingers/hands get tingly and shake a little. I have been quite moody although I always have been, and can be very forgetful. Maybe it is just stress?
