I have many symptoms of Diabetes. Can someone please help me with a few questions I have about diabetes?
Recently, I have been experiencing some symptoms of diabetes, my biggest symptoms being increased hunger and thirst, increased urination, cold/tingling hands and feet, fatigue, and dizziness. My grandfather had diabetes, and so did his brothers and sisters (I am not sure about his parents), but as far as we know no one else in my family has the condition. Lately I have been so tired and dizzy that my daily life has been affected- (I tried to go shopping and only made it for about a half an hour). Although (I’m embarrassed to admit) I do tend to eat pretty unhealthily, I am at a normal weight, with a 22.6 BMI. (It is also strange as I have been so hungry I’ve been eating about double what I normally do, maybe even 4,000 calories a day, and it seems like I’ve almost lost weight.. Very strange.)
It basically feels like no matter how much I eat or drink, my body absorbs no energy from the food. I feel famished, shaky, dizzy all the time, even after drinking three water bottles and eating a huge buffet meal.
Does diabetes sound logical? Is there anything else that my symptoms could be from? I will ask the doctor of course, but is there anything else pops into your mind?
Here are where I need answers- My doctor is not available until next Wednesday. Will I be okay waiting until then? In the meantime, is there anything I can do to keep these symptoms at bay until my appointment? How exactly do they test for diabetes? Do they just do a finger prick for blood or do they actually draw a vile of blood? The reason I ask is because the latter terrifies me. And honestly, I’m not sure if I could stay conscious.. I am so lightheaded everyday, and that’s when all of my blood is in my body!
Thank you in advance to anyone who can help me.. I really appreciate it and hopefully I’ll feel better soon!
Burning calories was a lot easier for me when I began using colon cleanse. I know they say that pills do not work, however they certainly worked for me, and they have been showcased on the Rachael Ray Show too. There is a free trial happening right now at http://cetolg.easyweightloss4you.info , try it, what’s the worst that could happen?
i do have a symptom that i had before i was diagnosed, my hair was falling out
It could be a couple of things going on. It could either be diabetes, or it could also indicate thyroid problems. The best idea is to talk with your doctor, and ask them if you’re able to get a Fasting Glucose Test (FGT), Glucose Tolerant Test (GTT), Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Test(TSH), and a Thyroxine (T4) test. Also, it would be an idea to ask if you would be able to get an ultrasound or something like that for the thyroid. Hope that this helps you.
Please read carefully the answer given by “mt waites” here at yahoo answers
follow exactely that advice.It’s very good.Follow it .If you had diabetes in the family,it is easily possible to have inherited it.
Treat this problem seriously.Diaberes is a serious illness,but can be treated ,there are a lot of means to fight it,but do not ignore a visit to a diabetes specialising institute or diabetes specialising medical doctor.Follow carefully and exactely yheyr advise,treatment anf diet.
Good luck and in the meantime,until you see your doctor,eat not so much at ones,eat only a little five times a day , food composed at least 6o% of fruits and vegetables and the rest of 40% each time only 20-grams of bred or potatoes,avoid any sugars ,alcohol,smoking.Drink 2-3 liters of water a day .

if it is type 1 diabetes, herbal tea, water and certain food will not help you. If you are super concerned about your well being I would head straight to the emergency room and tell them all that you have listed above. They will check your blood sugar via a finger poke and go from there depending on if the test have a normal of high result. If you are diabetic the best place to be is in a hospital, not waiting around searching for what it may be. and if it isnt diabetes they can go forth with other test to find what may be wrong with you..
Good luck and feel better
I was rushed to the hospital in a close to death situation before I was diagnosed
