Hi turtletori. I'm a 16 year old girl, and I was just tested yesterday for diabetes. I have the symptoms of dm, and I know how you feel. A lot of people don't seem to take anything with me seriously, and when they do, they minimize the importance of it. About faking- just ignore them, and try to care for yourself. And when the results come back, if they come back positive, see if your family/other people around you will be serious about everything. If not, I would suggest talking to your doctor, and/or a psychologist. It may very well be (if you are diagnosed, and even before then) that your family/other people in your life may be in denial that you possibly have a life-threatening disease. Good luck with everything...
