Is it possible to acquire type 2 diabetes despite being skinny, if not underweight? I was looking into thyroid gland disorder and it appears a lot of the symptoms for type 2 diabetes overlap. I'm probably just being a cyberchondriac, but I am a bit concerned.

I guess I would have it coming. Before I became aware of such things, I used to drink a ridiculous amount of soda and eat tons of white bread and fast food and blah blah, so on and so forth. For the better part of a year though, I have been very diet conscious. I only eat whole grain, I stay away from refined sugars of any sort(at least most of the time, I'm not perfect!), I eat breakfast as often as life allows, I don't go very long in between meals, and so on.

My symptoms-

Thinning hair. when washing my hair in the shower, I will end up with like 10-20 hairs on my hand. I have actually clogged the drain with my hair.

I basically can't gain weight. Even when I used to eat awfully I really never gained a pound. I'm like that stereotypical stringbean kid that can outeat people twice my size.

I'm not sure if I have had increased urination or not. What is a normal amount of times in a day to pee? I have, however, noticed that when I go to the bathroom right before bed, I will lie down and seemingly in no time will feel like I have to go again, but when I get up to go there is not much left to pee.

If I am sitting down, usually only if I'm in a really comfortable position, and I get up too fast, I will get like a headrush type feeling.

A few times in the past month I have noticed some sort of tingling feeling in the big toe on my left foot. It's not like a "my foot fell asleep" type of tingling, but more like a "friction from my shoes" type of burning tingling, except I don't think there is actually friction from my shoes.

Depression/odd thought patterns, but I suppose that could be unrelated.

I am typically tired, but I do suspect it comes from awful sleeping habits more than anything else.

That's it for symptoms I suppose. I can't afford to go to the doctor, so I gotta do the best I can via the interweb.
