Usually you get up in the morning feeling your lips sweet. If this happens regularly, then you should go have a check...
Do you become dizzy if you don't eat?
Sometimes Diabetics can have a case of the shakes.
drinking and peeing excessivly is the major sign eating a lot more than usual is too please see your dr for blood work you have to fast ( nothing to est or drink for 8 hours) and in a few days you will know for sure
Ask your doctor about it now and learn all you can about the disease. Many things can be done to prevent or at least delay it's onset. It is a disease you can live with but it's alot of work. Hopfully you can take steps now to not get it. If I had known at your age what I know now I would have taken steps to prevent it as much as I could. You are wise to be concerned. Good luck.
There are too many symptoms of Diabetes that could be other things to narrow it down to give you exact signs.
If it runs in yoru family i would get tested every 3 months for blood sugar/diabetes tests.
It is VERY hard to diagnose without a docs tests. A lot of symtoms, too many to list, could be or could not be related to Diabetes.
You would be rather young to contact type 2 diabetes, but the age is dropping significantly in this country as we as a nation become more overweight. When I was diagnosed one of the most noticeable symtoms was frequent urination...having to get up several times during the night to urinate, being extremely thirsty almost unquenchable thirst, weight loss for no reason, sweating, nausea, headaches, blurred vision are some of the most common symptoms. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms I advise you to have your blood sugar tested. It's basically painless and well worth the time and effort. A normal fasting blood sugar is below 130. Good Luck.
What are the symptoms of diabetes?
People who think they might have diabetes must visit a physician for diagnosis. They might have SOME or NONE of the following symptoms:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Unexplained weight loss
Extreme hunger
Sudden vision changes
Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Feeling very tired much of the time
Very dry skin
Sores that are slow to heal
More infections than usual.
Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains may accompany some of these symptoms in the abrupt onset of insulin-dependent diabetes, now called type 1 diabetes
Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include older age, obesity, family history of diabetes, prior history of gestational diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, physical inactivity, and race/ethnicity. African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, and some Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are at particularly high risk for type 2 diabetes.
Risk factors are less well defined for type 1 diabetes than for type 2 diabetes, but autoimmune, genetic, and environmental factors are involved in developing this type of diabetes.
Gestational diabetes occurs more frequently in African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, and people with a family history of diabetes than in other groups. Obesity is also associated with higher risk. Women who have had gestational diabetes are at increased risk for later developing type 2 diabetes. In some studies, nearly 40% of women with a history of gestational diabetes developed diabetes in the future.
Other specific types of diabetes, which may account for 1% to 2% of all diagnosed cases, result from specific genetic syndromes, surgery, drugs, malnutrition, infections, and other illnesses.
The American Diabetic Assn. has a web site. Check it out. Right now you should watch your diet if it runs in your family. I think every hospital has a person that does nothing else but advise on diabetic diets. The diet is fairly easy. It's more about the balance of food they set for you and like all other diets, you watch fat sugar and measure your carbs. My diet is called an exchange diet. You can exchange bread for pasta or cereal etc.
If drugs & liquour don't kill me, diabetes will. Drugs & liquor gave me diabetes. What a viscious circle. Oh don't cry for me kiddies, lifes been good so far!
Please see the webages for more details on Diabetes.

some people really need to be educated on what diabeties is seriously.. .. talking about the person with the first comment
I am at the same age with u and I have this d amn ilness since I was 6 years old......Really vexing and sucking ilness.....
The signs are feeling thirsty very much....Need to drink water so need to go to toilet......U feel like u are in the desert.....God never gives this ilness to anyone...
The first thing that you will notice is that you are hungry all the time, and you could fall asleep eating at the table... it makes you sleepy after you eat, and you go to the bathroom all the time,, and think you can't sleep at night because of waking up to go. Eating ice a lot, never being able to get enough to eat or drink. And of course you should have your sugard checked...Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers.
