Do i have Diabetes based on these symptoms?
According to Mayo Clinic, some Diabetes symptoms can include dry mouth, tiredness, constant thirst and urination, and blurry vision.
I am not constantly tired, and have perfect vision. I also am not constantly thirsty. However, when i drink something, sometimes i gulp it down real fast. But only if it's somewhat sweet. Whenever i drink something, my mouth is always a little dry afterwards. I am not sure if that's normal, or if it means i could have Diabetes. The reason i think it's diabetes, is the fact that i just stopped drinking a lot of regular pop.
I am really concerned here, and need some legitimate advice.
Please only answer my question if you know what you are talking about

no, diabetes usually causes rapid weight loss, like 20 pounds in less than a month, barfing, very sick, and more...you're fine but if you are very concerned talk to a Doctor

those assorted indications are no longer all consistent, so maximum suitable suggestion is to be certain a doctor. Dizzy, susceptible, and shaking is a symptom of low blood sugar - no longer larger. Dizzy while no longer ingesting is greater a symptom of low blood-sugar and not extreme blood sugar. Urination after fluids is logical, the question is does ingesting extreme-sugar fluids make you greater thirsty, because of the fact extreme-sugar in blood attracts water out of your tissue leaving you thirsty as properly to having to get rid of all the fluids fed on. an infection proneness would properly be a symptom of larger blood-sugar, yet no longer lots low blood sugar. starvation isn't of course linked in any way. first element must be to get you a glucose tolerance attempt to be certain approximately hypo vs hyperglycemia (diabetes). 2nd element must be to evaluate the neurological and respiration indications that have not got sparkling decrease connections. YOur blood tension must be checked because of the fact dizziness and shortness of breath are consistent with abnormally low blood tension.

nah, i don't think you do. if you had symptoms of diabetes then the number one thing is extreme thirst with dry mouth and even with that symptom you won't know for sure without glucose readings. so if you don't want to go to the doctor to find out. get a glucose meter first. they're like 10$ at walmart so are the testing strips for it, but by what you are saying you don't sound diabetic.

I think you're just overreacting. My hypochondriac sister has been convinced around 20 times that she's developed type1 symptoms
