i think i have developed diabetes. i dont have medical insurance or the money to go see a doctor but my symptoms match so well that i have diagnosed myself. i pee all the time (i used to think i had an overactive bladder), i'm constantly hungry (even like an hour after a meal), i get thirsty often, i get hot after eating white and sugar carbs, and i'm tired a lot. from doing research on the internet, these are things that are directly related to it. i found a free clinic that is nearby but i cant call until monday. i dont even know if they do testing but i guess i'll find out soon. this sucks. i know i totally brought this upon myself from my years of eating shit, and too much of it. if only i chose to binge on proteins instead or sugar and carbs. like i said before, i dont know if i have it for sure but i'm going to do my best to live from now on like i do just in case...until i find out for sure. it sucks that i cant really eat so much bread, potatoes, candy, and all the things i really enjoy but seriously, i shouldnt be eating as much of those things as i do anyway. besides, i think i have already eaten enough for a lifetime, which is why i'm feeling this way in the first place.

HOPEFULLY IT\'S NOTHING, I REMEMBER FEELING LIKE I HAD DIABETES WITH ALL THE SUGARS I ATE BUT I GET MY BLOOD WORK DONE EVERY YEAR SO NOW I JUST CUT WAY WAY BACK AND HOPEFULLY DON\'T EVER GET DOWN THE ROAD. NO ONE IN MY FAMILY THAT I KNOW OF HAS DIABETES BUT YOU NEVER KNOW.... LET US KNOW BUT TRY TO WATCH REALLY THE SUGARS! DIABETES IS NOT GOOD AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS DOWN THE ROAD. NOW IS THE TIME TO FIND OUT AND TAKE CARE OF IT. I STARTED GETTING THE BLOOD WORK BASICALLY FOR CHOLESTEROL, MY FAMILY IS HIGH AND I\'M ACTUALLY OK AS LONG AS I EAT WELL. TALK TO YOU SOON. KATHY

yeah it maybe nothing but if it is, in a awful way it may even be for the best because it may make you think twice before binging. Who knows, hopefully its nothing

as they say hopefully its nothing but if it is you may not need insulin all the time you may just need to cut back and have a strict diet which isnt so bad!

Bless you, hope your trip to the clinic is conclusive. Its a horrible feeling when you look up details on the internet and then you have to wait to see the Doctor. Take care and try not too worry (easier said than done i know!!)xxxx

I hope you find out soon. My mom has diabetes and I know how hard it is for her to be on all the meds she has to take. Wishing you the best.
