Ask your parents to get you a check up its a simple blood test.
But really that starts younger than 13 when you are a child.
You could just need glasses or anemia but start with the doctor first.

You should be tested, but it probably isn't diabetes.
Don't tell your parents that you think you have diabetes. Tell them you're having a lot of issues and want to see your doctor.
If your blood sugar was high, you would be urinating multiple times an hour, not four times a day.

I am a nurse. I do think you should be tested to be safe. Some things you say here could be diabetes related or they could have other causes. You are concerned. You need to see a doctor and he/she will give you proper testing. Good luck. I am also type 2.

Thank goodness you got a sensible response from Frank. I don't know what the other two numpties were waffling on about.
