hi, im a 17 year old male i,ve recently
been worrying about diabetes as i have
read some of the symptoms and i kind of
have some of them. Well for starters since
i was like 7 to 15 i had a reasonably poor
diet with high sugar in but i exercised
about half an hour everyday,however now i
have alot of fruit and generally a healthy
diet. I dont have any diabetic history in
my family, and im not really that
overweight either. I'm not sure if i
should be worrying or not and i really
need someone to put my mind at rest but i
drink about 2 litres of water a day not
due to excessive thirst but simple because
its good for me and i find myself going to
the toilet not abnormally high but quite a
few times a day especially at night. Also
i find myself quite tired in the day im
not sure if this is due to late nights or
not. I also sometimes suffer from weak
legs but i dont have any vision problems.
Basically i am simply worrying due to my
poor diet for all them years. Could somone
please tell me if i am risk & put my
mind at rest. Help would be much
appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure if you have it or not. A
simple blood test will tell you if you
have high sugar or not. Go to your doctor
and have yourself tested. It's better to
be on the safe side. Get a A1C blood test
done. Good luck. If you have any more
questions let me know. I will be happy to
answer them if I can.
