(sorry for length)
I frequently find myself being fatigued and I urinate about 5x per day. A while ago I was looking into what causes this kind of fatigue because it really sucks just waking up and diabetes came up as a result, and since then i've had my suspicions.
The thing is, i've not wanted to get tested because I am kind of scared of finding out if I have it or not...I even turned down a job a while ago because I had to get a physical taken and tested for diabetes and I didn't want to. Im 20 years old and in class this past week we learned about diabetes typeI&II and I think I may have typeI. I am lean and never have the energy.
I want to change this and finally try to get my life in order and if diabetes is the problem, I want to take action to help fix it. The thing is, how can I tell my parents I want to get tested?
Im kind of afraid of doing that because I think they will worry for me a lot and I personally feel that this is a sign of weakness and I don't like showing that at all! I don't want anyone to look at me any different if I am diagnosed with it (parents, siblings, friends) so I really am confused as to how I should go about this...
Any words of advice or encouragement?
