I am alittle concerned that I have
diabetes. I use the bathroom all the
time. I am so tired and weak and I drink
water all the time. If I miss a meal. I
feel so weak and feel like I am going to
throw up. I went to the doctor and he
said I had alot of glucose in my urine and
thought maybe I have diabetes. I am
waiting for the test results. I am
praying that is comes back negative. Can
you have healthy babies if you have
diabetes. I want to have children so bad.

I don't know if you have diabetes or not.
I have been wondering the same thing
about myself. But I wish you the very
best!

Hi hon I just registered on this site so I
am a few days late with this reply.You
very well could have diabetes, wait til
your tests come back. Yes you can have
babies, but if you are diagnosed with
diabetes you have to start on the road to
taking excellent care of yourself, with
diet, excercise and medication if
necessary. I post on a few other diabetes
boards and there a quite a few young
mothers with diabetes. I want to repeat
that the most important thing for you to
do is take very good care of yourself,
work with an endo if possible, they
specialze in diabetes care. When you are
stabilized and know about diabetes then
look to your future and I hope it is a
good one. Sharon

hello sharon, I am new here also. I agree
with everything you said. Also if you are
a diabetic and plan on having children
discuss it with you'r doctor before
starting to try! I had an excellant
doctor who shared this with me every
visit. I am happy that she did as you can
see it is something that I remember. I
think it was folic acid that she said all
women (not only diabetic womens) should
ask their doctor about it before they get
pregenet if at all possiable. Best of
luck, kelly

Waiting Diabetes Test Results. Posted: 01-25-04 13:31pm
Hi out there I just registered, and I was
tested for diabetes a few days ago. My
results should be in very soon.I am a 15
year old girl and am very involved in alot
of things. I am trying to gain support
from people around me but they all think I
am lying, even though the doctor tested
me. They think I am faking the symptoms.
If the test comes out positive i'm afraid
they wont take it for real , and I could
end up with a serious problem. What
should I do?

hi my name is precius. I just wanted to
tell you that if your active and not too
overweight. Then just maybe you might not
have diabetes. But it seems to me that a
lot of people including myself are being
diag with diabetes. I belive it's the
things we eat and don't exercise enough
that make us get this disease. It's a
wake up call to just take better care of
ourselves. I guess. I hope your not
diabetic but if you are don't worry you
can get rid of it, through proper care.
P.S. Your not alone don't worry be
happy their are worser diseases that can't
be cured!

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...

Hello, I wanted to tell you that anyone
who is your real friend and loves you will
only want to help you get better and be
concerned for you. These people who think
you are lying, are they kids your age?
They can't understand the emotional impact
this disease has on your mind, and the
effects it has on your body, by controling
your life. It can take quite some time
to stop being depressed about being
diagnosed, but things will get better the
longer you have your sugar under control,
the better you will feel, and we be able
to be active again.;

Oh there is no cure for diabetes
but you can take medication or insulin to
replace your natural insulin
