    What makes you think that you have diabetes?

    It is true that you might not lose weight but dark eyes is not a symptom. There is thin skin and a lot of blood supply around the eyes. It could be that your skin is thinner or has more pigment than others.

    Symptoms of diabetes are: extreme thirst - and consequent need to pee a lot!

    exhaustion.

    deteriorating eyesight - though this could be for other reasons

    frequent thrush

    poor healing

    very dry, itchy skin - but again this could be for other reasons

    unexplained weight loss!

    Not everybody has every symptom but the thirst and tiredness are the biggest ones.

    IF you are diabetic you can be treated first by trying to adjust your diet and lifestyle, tablets or both. Insulin is only used as a last resort.

    E:mail me if you need to ask more questions and I will try to help.

    I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

    I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

    I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

    Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.

    And get this - it has NOTHING to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past.

    It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

    Type 2 diabetes, usually referred to as adult onset, is when your body produces insulin but can not use it properly. This type can be treated successfully with the right diet and exercise in most circumstances. Read here https://tr.im/p8wa2

    If blood sugars are not kept under control at some point insulin will probably be integrated / oral medications are also available. People with diabetes can live long, happy lives but must be diligent in their care and make sure you see your endocrinologist on a regular basis.

    Don't freak out. If it turns out you do have Type 2 Diabetes then at your age it would be easily taken care of if you really want to change. You would just have to loose weight, eat a balanced diet and exercise more. Type 2 Diabetes wouldn't cause extreme weight loss btw, only Type 1 does that. Type 2 causes weight gain. If it turns out you do have it then "getting rid" of it wouldn't be easy for you as it is a questions of will power but it is possible.

    Don't be scared! Her condition can be easily managed with medication and a healthy diet. She'll be just fine and you're not going to lose her early—or at least not because of diabetes.

    the lack of healing is years and years of being a diabetic out of control, not really a teenage problem.

    weight loss comes as a result of being undiagnosed with very high glucose levels for several years.

    Other symptoms are more sneaky. they gradually appear so they are not at all noticeable.

    I have no clue as to why you might be scared you might have diabetes! It is not a death sentence like something like MS or cancer would be. It is a condition where change of lifestyle habits need to change and taking medication and checking glucose levels makes you near normal. NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL.

    Dark circles under your eyes does not compute with diabetes. That could just be teenageness and failure to maintain good sleeping habits.
