diabetes symptoms, or nothing?

by paseana, Sep 25, 2006 12:00AM
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?

Knowing the warning signs for type 1 diabetes (juvenile diabetes) could save a child's life.

Warning signs of type 1 diabetes (these may occur suddenly):
Extreme thirst
Frequent urination
Sudden vision changes
Sugar in urine
Fruity, sweet, or wine-like odor on breath
Increased appetite
Sudden weight loss
Drowsiness, lethargy
Heavy, labored breathing
Stupor, unconsciousness

If your child exhibits one or more of these symptoms, call a doctor immediately.
