Possible diabetic

Danni32 · 10-07-2009, 03:17

I am new at this, but for the last couple of years I have had some really weird symptoms. First I have noticed that I have to go to the bathroom a lot throughout the day. I have times where I get this urge where I have to go right then. I am also extremely tired throughout the day, especially after I eat. This might be normal, not sure, but if I haven't eaten and I am hungry, I start shaking and feel really dizzy. I also am craving water to the point where I can drink half a bottle of water in one sip. I also have a very dry mouth a lot. It is in my family. Does anyone have any advice?

Have you seen a doctor? If no, then you need to see one and get some blood labs done. Your symptoms mimic diabetes but there may be other underlying causes that only a visit to a doctor's office can reveal.

The symptons you describe does not sound good. As Susan said you should go visit a doctor. Maybe read some at w w w.diabetia.org will get you better a better overview on your situation
Good luck
