i was wondering, what were the first signs of diabetes you noticed?
im wondering if i have it. it costs a lot o fmoney to get tested, so id like to know if i should or not.
the reason i think i might be diabetic is that i have a very large appetite to the point its out of control, im sleepy or tired alot.

Hi old_fashioned_plain,
If you think you are symptomatic for diabetes, please see a Dr.

Open the phone book or go on line and look up the health department for the county or city you live in. Almost all areas have basic health screenings available to people at a low or no cost. A fasting glucose test is the first step to determining your health status re: diabetes - although it is not the only thing.
You can also take steps yourself to ensure that - whether or not you are currently diabetic - you can improve your health or help to prevent diabetes. Stop soda, juices, and other sugary drinks. Switch from white breads, rice, and pastas to whole grains. Add fiber, fruits and vegetables to your meals.
Hi and welcome to the board.
Diabetes is a complex disorder that has many possible indicators. These include unexplained weight loss, excessive hunger (polyphagia), thirst (polydipsia), frequent urination (polyuria), dehydration, leg pain when walking (claudication), fatigue, dizziness and itching (pruritus). Awareness of these signs and symptoms can keep people alert to potential onset of diabetes.
