Q I am peeing frequently, very thirsty, tired a lot . Ive been like this a lot lately. My father and grandfather are diabetic. Am i having diabetes too?
The history from your parental side suggests there is possibility of you getting diabetes.Symptoms you have mentioned are included in those of diabetes. But it does not necessarily means that you are diabetic. Symptoms like increased frequency of urination, increased thirst and hunger, tingling and numbness, weight loss, blurred vision, dry itchy skin and irritability confirm the diagnosis of diabetes. Fatigue is usually seen in people with raised sugar so your tiredness might be related with it. Recurrent sores and infections of bladder and urine are seen. If these signs and symptoms are seen along with raised sugar, it may indicate diabetes. This needs to be confirmed by overall examination by a doctor. Kindly keep monitoring your blood sugar.
