Hi all !!!! Sometimes I wake up in the
morningand crave sugar so bad so ill eat a
piece of candy, then I need more!!! Imean
I literally need it, thatll last for like
a week, then the next week ill be so tired
I can sleep all night and all day.. With
no problem. I dont know whats wrong with
me . But diabetes is like a hit and miss
in my family. I dont have health
insurance so its hard to go to the doctor
unless I really have to! Im only 20 years
old. I get dizzy spells like I could
black out.I was just hoping someone could
share their advice with me, like how they
figured out they had diabetes or the
symptoms they had????? Anything at all is
appreciated. Thanks a bunch!!!!

Hi, I am a diabetic and my symptoms were
weight loss, dry skin, major thirstiness,
using the bathroom alot, and no energy.
Other symptoms are loss of appetite,
nausea, vomiting, etc. Since you said
that people in your family have diabetes
but you have no insurance to see the
doctor, a good idea is to use one of your
relatives' bloodsugar machines and ask
them to check your blodsugar. If it's
high, see the doctor immediately. Hope
that helps

The only way you are going to know if you
have diabetes or not is to go to the
doctor for a blood test, or, as the
previous poster said, borrow someones
glucose monitor and test your sugar,
anything over 120 fasting should be
checked out.
