You need to see a doctor because this doesn't help.
You might have symptoms of diabetes but they are also symptoms of other things. Eating too much salt will strain your heart, dehydrate your body and make you feel more hungry.
Feeling very hungry can be a sign you've had too much sugar. This can mean diabetes but it can also mean you are bored or your body is lacking in something. If you're eating but it's not satisfying you then you're probably eating the wrong things.

Absolutely 'normal', young sir.
I should have added to my previous response that a non-diabetic's fasting (after not eating or drinking overnight) blood glucose level should be between 70 and 99 mg/dL (milligrams per deciLiter) [that's 3.9 and 5.5 mmol/l (millimoles per litre) for those using the International Standard for blood glucose measurement]. (Some laboratories now accept 65 mg/dL [3.6 mmol/l] as being the lower limit.)
Two hours post prandial (after eating) a non-diabetic's blood glucose level would rarely exceed 140 mg/dL [7.8 mmol/l]. I say rarely as there are occasions when it could be higher, such as if the person being tested had one or more comorbid medical condition(s) that are known to cause raised blood glucose levels; if the person being tested was undergoing extreme stress at the time of being tested; or if the person being tested was taking certain types of medication which are known to cause a rise in blood glucose levels. (These medications include those that contain steroids, such as the types used in the treatment of asthma, or for the treatment of certain specific types of infection.)
Every symptom that you've mentioned can have many other things responsible for causing them, my friend.

You could have low blood iron. You could be eating too much salt. You could have some other issue. There are several conditions that may seem like diabetes, but is actually something else.

There are plenty of other things that cause those symptoms, you gave no other details about your life so we can't really help you
