Dear Jemma,
May I know, how old are you now? Is your parents or grandma/grandfather have a diabetic disease?
Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the pancreas no longer produces enough insulin or when cells stop responding to the insulin that is produced, so that glucose in the blood cannot be absorbed into the cells of the body. Symptoms include frequent urination, lethargy, excessive thirst, and hunger.
Urine and blood tests can be used to confirm a diagnose of diabetes based on the amount of glucose. Urine tests can also detect ketones and protein in the urine that may help diagnose diabetes and assess how well the kidneys are functioning. These tests can also be used to monitor the disease once the patient is on a standardized diet, oral medications, or insulin.
Diabetes can be reduced by maintaining ideal weight and exercising regularly. The physical and emotional stress of surgery, illness, pregnancy, and alcoholism can increase the risks of diabetes, so maintaining a healthy lifestyle is critical to preventing the onset of diabetes and preventing further complications of the disease.
Ok Jemma, I hope you will glad with my answer. Please see the doctor for check up your urine and blood examination.
Takecare....
Sincerely,
Anasthasia Pride

Diabetes can be sneaky, for me, my only symptoms were three things. I was thirsty all the time, knew where every bathroom in town was and I had 9 UTIs the year before I was diagnosed. Another nurse that I know her only symptom was a numb big toe. Most diabetics do have the classic symptoms of thirst,frequent urination,weight loss, fatigue but many do not. I'd say if you are overweight, over forty,ever been on steroids and have any of the classic symptoms or "just don't feel right" for a couple of weeks get to your doc. A couple of fasting blood sugars are easy and inexpensive and best of all you will KNOW what is going on. Yeah, living with this disease isn't easy, none of us here will tell you that it is. What is harder is not knowing you have the disease and being diagnosed after more damage is done and your options are fewer. Good luck.

Go see a doctor immediately and ask him / her to test your blood sugar.
The most common and obvious sign of diabetes is excessive urination. The word diabetes comes from a Greek word meaning "a siphon" So if you know you are suddenly urinating an excessive amount you need to get your blood sugars checked.
And if that is related to your problems with vision and tiredness ... that is a sign of very high blood sugar. I don't know anything about you, but assuming you are young it could most likely be type 1 diabetes. Type 1 comes on fast and can quickly become a life-threatening condition if it doesn't get treated.
Of course, I'm not a doctor, so this is not a diagnosis :o) But your symptoms lean so strongly towards diabetes that it would be irresponsible of me not to urge you to get to the doctor right away.
Good luck, and please feel free to email me if you want
--edit--
OMG ... I just noticed you said you're eating a lot, which is another obvious symptom of diabetes, but more importantly that you're getting sick to your stomach. Getting sick to your stomach with all those other symptoms probably means ketoacidosis ...which is immediately life threatening. If you are actually having all those symptoms, I urge you to go to the hospital NOW. It's very serious, if you do have ketoacidosis they may put you in intensive care until your blood sugars are under control.
Again, go to the hospital NOW.

You can check your blood sugar level. And you should also test your urine. Glycouria is the first signs of diabetes.Diabetes has three symptoms: urinating a lot, drinking a lot, and losing weight. If you have diabetes, you may also eat a lot. you can confrim by sugar level in your blood and urine. It is the best way to diagnose diabetes. Diabetes patient also has fainting attack. You should discuss with your family doctor.

With the newer types of insulin these days, diabetic diets aren't necessarily as restrictive as they used to be. Read here https://tr.im/vhPA3
As with any medicine or diet change, you should discuss it with your doctor. Fruits, both fresh and dried, have a natural sugar in them that will raise blood sugar levels, so be careful about eating too much. Not sure about the nuts. Moderation is always the key. I've been diabetic for 18 years and just recently changed insulin types. I love it because it gives me more freedom in when and what I eat.
