Scared:(

Hi, I am 16 years old this year, I have a history of diabetes as my both paternal and maternal grandmothers have diabetes, my paternal grandma has died because of diabetes and my maternal grandma is still as healthy. I really dont know if my dad has.. Recently, I saw my used *underwear* that has not been washed quite awhile was with quite many ants in it. They were crawling around my underwear and one of my underwear had mentrual discharge which I didn't notice until I saw ants! Is it attracted to my period stain or me?! Am I diabetic? I get thirsty after drinking water . But when I don't drink, I feel normal, and I get frequent urination if  I drink water. I think both signs are my PMS signs I don't know and I am going for a blood test I am afraid I will have to live with lifetime medication. That's crazy.. I am still young!:( worrying
