Okay...
diabetes runs in my family.
My mother told me it skips generations,
so she hasn't been diagnosed, I've heard
it might increase the chance of me getting it.
That's not the only problem.
My second year of having periods is wrapping up this month.
It's been irregular, but nevertheless I could attempt to predict it last year.
I had my first period about 3-5 days before my 10th birthday. (mid-August of )
Now, I'm about to turn 13.
I've spoken to my mother about this,
and she's going to schedule a doctor's appointment.
A friend who knows a lot about diabetes told me her best friend
went through almost a year without having a period, went to the doctors, and was diagnosed with diabetes.
Sometimes I itch in the vaginal area, but it's not like
insanely itchy. I guess it's the occasional itch.
But for my height range, I'm 5'3 and a half,
I'm overweight. My BMI is 27-27.2 so I'm not
exactly fully healthy.
Anyway, for my first year of having periods..
I usually had them every 2-3 months. Then in July of 2006 (I think) for the first time I had a period in June, then in July (regularly). Then it went back t o the every 2-3 month thing. Now, it's August 2007, and I can barely remember the last time I had my period this year. I usually don't keep track, but I've started to. I haven't had my period since June, and supposedly May. But I'm not 100% sure.
I looked into Diabetes symptoms for females and PCOS. Can anyone help to add to my knowledge?
