Diabetes complications, I need help?

Question

I have not been diagnosed but I have almost all symptoms

Thirsty
Hungry
Numb/tingly feet/hands
Headaches motion sickness
Cold finger tips and toes
Urination
Tired
Shaky

I can't come straight out and say "mom I think I have diabetes" it's just.. Impossible... So I tell her all my symptoms and she just says "quit complaining and help me, stop standing and doing nothing but complain" 

I don't want to do anything, I just want to sit on my bed forever. I want to cry. How can I say I think I have diabetes, I tell myself I have not been diagnosed, I'm freaking out over a hunch, it does not help. 

I had a blood test 2 months ago, can type 1 diabetes develop that fast?

I can't tell my mom, I'm scared.

Several of your "symptoms" are from long term untreated or uncontrolled diabetes, not newly developed diabetes. If you had type 1 likely you'd be so sick there would be no doubt that something was wrong. 
Some of your "symptoms" aren't symptoms of diabetes at all and I'd like to know where people keep coming up with symptoms that have nothing to do with diabetes and claiming they are symptoms.
