Well I am not a diabetic but my little 10 year old brother is. He was diagnosed about a year ago. One of the biggest tell tale signs was that we noticed that he was drinking a lot of water and therefore going to the bathroom a lot. Apparently that was a huge sign that we overlooked. But what really triggered us to take him to the doctor a day in the week rather than the weekend as planned was when my aunt saw him and realised that he had lost a lot of weight.

I think, therefore we have nothing in common

There is only one guarantee in life, and that is NOW.

I don't, but I'm a really good candidate.

But some of the most common signs are:

- urinating a lot
- odd/sweet smelling urine
- excessive thirst/constant dry mouth
- tingling and numbness in legs hands and feet
- cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal
- unexplained weightless
- recurring skin, gum, or bladder infections


Are you thinking your sugars are too high, or too low? Look into hypoglycemia, too. A lot of people are hypoglycemic.

I don't know what I'm thinking. I've been sick for almost a week for no reason at all; weak, sweaty, weird vision and light headedness, thirsty as hell but not peeing heaps. The I saw on TV a girl who had just been diagnosed and I started thinking.

Very important for everyone to get checked for it at least once a year.  You can have it for a long time before you know it.  Most cases can be controlled with diet and exercise.
