Hello, Im a 14 year old girl, and I just want to know if I have diabetes or not. The other day, I saw a commercial on TV with three symptoms of diabetes. They were: being tired all the time, constant thirst, and urninateing frequemtly. I know for a fact that Ive been expiriencing the first two, but Im not so sure about the third. Being cautious, I looked online and it also said the same thing, and an added symptom, tingly hands and feet, My right hand has been a having a tingly sensation, mostly my thumb, but I may just be being over cautious. I also told my friend that has diabetes about how tired and thirst Ive been. I never once told him I thought I had diabetes, and he just told me about an hour ago that I need to go see a doctor to see if I have diabetes. Im just so scared and I need answers. My parents wont take me to a doctor and they dont believe me either. They say its school thats been making me tired, but I just finished my Spring Break, and I was just as tired. Does it seem like I have diabetes, and if so, how can I make my parents believe me? I really just want the first question answered, but both would be much appreciated.Thank you!
Hi! I totally understand your concerns. it's better to be overcautious than to miss something as significant as diabetes. If you feel, so you should get your blood tests done.it will give you a clear picture.
