have symptoms of a diabetic not sure

by notsure2005, Aug 19, 2005 12:00AM
Hi, I am a teen who has been experiencing some symptoms and am not sure if it is diabetes or if I am over reacting. I had constant thirst and urination which ended last week. Now I am just thirsty yet get nauseated when I eat or drink. I have lost two pounds and experience fatigue and dizziness. Money is tight right now and I don't want to waste money on a doctor if I am over reacting. Since I am not using the restroom and not as thirst because of the neausa I am uncertain that it is diabetes. I can't eat anymore without feeling sick and tired after, yet I do get extremely hungry. Please, what is wrong with me?

We're volunteers here & not physicians.  Based on your age, I'm not sure we can legally answer your questions here, but please have your parents get you to a doctor to be evaluated.

The money is not wasted if you catch Diabetes in its early stage *if* you have it.  These symptoms can indicate everything from the flu to other diseases - only a doctor's blood workup and a C-Peptide test will indicate for sure.

If you are not diabetic, the money you spent will put you at ease and you have nothing to worry about.  Have a great life.

If you are diabetic, the money you spent may have just saved your vision, kidneys, heart and ultimately your life.

Diabetes is serious.  It will cause other ailments that will kill you.  See a doctor, find out.  That's the only way to turn "not sure" into "for sure."
