HELP! type 1 diabetes, help help help ?

I have been thinking I have diabetes for awhile now. Unfortunately I missed my last appointment to see. An way I am experiences bulging veins in my arms and I always get warm, red splotches over my skin. I urinate very frequently too. I guess what I'm getting at is, I started taking a diuretic for acne a couple days ago and now I am having pressure in my head and all the typical symptoms of type 1 diabetes. I can't tell if I'm over reacting or I should go to the hospital. If ANYONE could get back to me asap I would really appreciate it!

thanks everyone for the help. I have more symptoms than that but I am a little panicky. Web md apparently doesn't have the right info! But good thing feeeew! I have seen the dermatologist about my skin they have no explanitions. This was the only thing that made sense. I Have lost a lot of weight over a short period of time unintentionally too. The list goes on and but I must say I am relieved my heads not going to spontaniously combust! : )

Your frequent urination and weight loss is from using a diuretic.

sweeite you are over reacting. type 1 diabetes can only be detected by a physician, but those are not typical of the disease. when my best friend got it at 7, she had bed wetting and she was not on diuretics. if it doens't get better in about a week make an appt to see a doctor! good luck with everything!

If you have type 1 diabetes, the symptoms become more life threatening as time goes along and within a short period. See my website. I don't think you have type 1 either.
