Question: Could i have diabetes.? or no.? 10 pnts best answer;.?
Well,i'm really thirsty a lot, and my throat always feels really dry, and when i wake up in the middle of the night i always have to drink some water. And i've been eating a lot, i'm not fat, but even if i'm sort of full i'll keep eating, and not gaining the pounds, it's weird. Plus, i'm always sooo tired. I'll sleep for like, 12-14 hours, and i'll be really tired and stuff. But my dad said it's all because i'm 13, so yeah, i'm getting a blood test soon, but i was just wondering if it's possible.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
These could very well be symptoms of something else or it could be nothing at all. You didn't mention urinating more than usual and this is a symptom also. As far as the thirst, thirst associated with diabetes is thirsty all the time instead of thirsty a lot. Not gaining weight is normal for your age. Young people have high metabolism, in other words, they burn calories well. The only thing I would really be concerned with is being tired all the time. This could very well be a cause for concern. And back to the weight issue, if your losing weight it would be a cause for concern. Losing weight is a major symptom of diabetes. Just because your not gaining would not be too alarming. Since you do have concern about possible diabetes a glucose level blood test is simple, you do not have to wait on the results, and is very inexpensive. It will put your mind to rest about this worry.Health Question & Answer

Doesnt sound like diabetes. Could be something else. The sleeping isnt anything wrong, if you sleep for more than 7 30 to 8 hrs you will still be tired after you are done sleeping because you start another sleep cycle and it is unfinished at that time. Sleeping too much is bad too.Health Question & Answer

yes and no. Health Question & Answer
In type 1, the pancreas stop producing insulin, due to autuimmune response or possibly viral attack on pancreas. In absence of insulin, body cells does not get glucose for producing ATP (Adenosin Triphosphate) units which results into primary symptom in the form of nausea and vomiting. In latter stage which leads to ketoacidosis in which body starts breaking down muscle tissue and fat for energy, there is consequently fast weight loss. Dehydration is also usually observed due to electrolyte disturbance. In advance stages even coma and death, are being witnessed.
Diabetes Type 2:
* Increased fatigue : Due to inefficiency of cell to metabolise glucose, reserve fat of body is metabolised to gain energy. When fat is broken down in the body, it uses more energy as compared to glucose, hence body goes in negative calorie effect, which results in fatigue.
* Polydipsia : As the concentration of glucose increases in the blood, brain receives signal for diluting it and in its counteraction we feel thirsty.
* Polyuria: Increase in urine production is the result seen when excess of glucose is present in body. Body tries to get rid of the extra sugar in the blood by excreting it through the urine. This can also lead to dehydration because excreting the sugar which carries a large amount of water out of the body along with it.
* Polyphegia : The hormone insulin is also responsible for stimulating hunger. In order to cope up with high sugar levels in blood, body produces insulin which leads to increased hunger.
* Weight flactuation : Factors like loss of water (polyuria), glucosuria , metabolism of body fat and protein may lead to loss of weight. Few cases may show weight gain due to increased appetite.
* Blurry vision : Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is pulled out of tissues including lenses of eye, which affects the ability of lenses to focus resulting in blurry vision.
* Irritability : It is one of the sign of high blood sugar because of the inefficient supply of glucose to brain and other body organs, which makes us feel tired and uneasy.
* Infections : Certain signals from the body is given whenever there is fluctuation of blood sugar (due to suppression of immune system) by frequent infections of fungal or bacterial like skin infection or UTI (urinary tract infection).
* Poor wound healing : High blood sugar resists the flourishing of WBC, (white blood cell) which are responsible for body immune system. When these cells do not function accordingly, wound healing is not at good pace. Secondly, long standing diabetes leads to thickening of blood vessels which may affect proper circulation of blood in different body parts.
These are the symptoms. You could possibly be diabetic. But I would probably be safe to say that you don't.
Good luck precious.
