Issue Should I get checked for Diabetes, or should I wait?? Best Tip Myaddictiontofire: As most have suggested, you should have a Blood and a1c test preformed. You are displaying some of the early symptoms of type 2 Diabetes. The tests aren't really that expensive considering it's your health were talking about. If you do have it you need to catch it early before any permanent damage is done. I shared several of your symptoms when I was your age. My occupation required me to have a yearly physical examination, but my Diabetes never showed up during urinalysis. My personal doctor also told me there was nothing wrong, and to take vitamins and exercise. It went undiagnosed until my middle 50's, and the damage had already been done. Today, because of complications I am unable to walk, (love my Hoveround) and I'm rapidly loosing the ability to use my hands. Please get those tests as soon as you can, an I'll pray that they turn out negative. Others Wait then you can tell Jesus about your life so says the buddha. With your family history and the fact that thus far doctors haven't been able to find anything else wrong I would say yes. Have a fasting blood sugar done at your local out patient lab. several family members with diabeties, medical field for 11yrs please don't wait...diabetes is a serious condition but EASY to live with once you are diagnosed and begin to take proper care of yourself...and if perchance it is not the onset of Type II diabetes, it may be something else...get a thorough physical including a full or half day glucose tolerance test ofcourse you should get it checked if you are worried about it. And if you are overweight and if it runs in the family, you are at very high risk. It's better to be safe than sorry. Instead of sitting around not knowing I would make an appointment get a quick shot and in less than 24 hours you'll know or the same day depending on where you go to the doctors. Continue to eat right, excercise, and you can lower your risk. Good luck & I hope everything works out for you. Well, exhaustion, frequent urination, excessive thirst are all symptoms of diabetes. I don't know about your other symptoms, though. Has your doctor done testing for diabetes yet? If you feel bad, you should get checked out by your doctor, and let them do blood tests to check for anemia, diabetes, thyroid problems, etc. If they haven't drawn blood to check for these things, then you should see a different doctor who will. Hope this helps! |
