Answers:
Okay, um, there is a possibility that you could be diabetic. I have diabetes and those were some at first, and I have anxiety. You might want to go see a doctor. Hope all is well.Health Question & Answer

Get yourself checked. It's a simple test, and when it's over you will know for sure. At your age you're more likely to develop type 1 diabetes, which comes on fast. If you've developed that it won't matter what your blood sugar level was a year ago. A type 1's blood sugar will be extremely high, like in the 400's and up. So when they test you there will be no question about whether you have it or not.

If you're a hypochondriac you should be seeing someone for that too. If you aren't, then try and get your Mom to take you.Health Question & Answer

Get your blood sugar checked again. Eat healthy things, and don't go crazy trying to skip meals or eat a ton of food at one time. Just eat a well rounded meal. Your left eye could just be weaker than the right, and you could be dehydrated, so try drinking more water than soda and sugary things. If you are diabetic, it's really not horrible. It's tedious to take care of, and it takes some effort, but it's conrtollable, so don't freak out too much. My telling symptom was the thirst, so I would highly recomend checking it out.

I was diagnosed diabetic when I was 10 years old, now I'm 17.

My main symptoms were..
1. Having to pee ALOT.
2. Constant thirst.
3. ALWAYS tired
4. Sudden and dramatic weight loss.

With your height and weight, if you are diagnosed, it would be type 1 diabetes (The one I have). Type 2 is mostly older or overweight people.

You do have some symptoms, so I would definitely get it checked out. Just because you didn't have it a year ago doesn't mean it couldn't have progressed into diabetes now. I'd go to the doctors asap and have them check once again. It could be anything though. Health Question & Answer

As you know, these are symptoms of diabetes. And diabetes at age 11 is definitely possible. Hopefully, you are right it is just hypochondria--but only a doctor's visit and tests will show for sure.Health Question & Answer
