Should I Get Tested?
Posted: 12-18-04 18:15pm

I was tested for diabetes about 2 years ago , I had all the symptoms and there is strong family history of diabetes. Everything was fine, and eventually I stopped feeling symptomatic. But lately I have been feeling ill again. I have been extremely dizzy and feeling faint. My hands and feet fall asleep easily and I have frequent urination along with other things. I know I have way too much sugar in my diet, and although I have always been in shape, I recently stopped excercising and have gained some weight. Should I see about getting tested again for diabetes or is it too soon?

Yeah I think you should definitely get tested. You seem to have the symptoms. Other symptoms may be eating more but losing weight, feeling thirstier than usual etc. Why take a chance? People die of complications from untreated diabetes such as kidney problesm and stuff. My grandmother delayed getting treatment and now she has very poor eyesight in both her eyes. So dont take a chance. Diabtetes is curable so go to your Dr. That's just my advice- keep me posted. :d
