Do You Think I Might Have Diabetes?

How long have you had these symptoms? Because of your age you're unlikely to have type 2 diabetes (although it is possible). Type 1 diabetes comes on really quickly and within a couple of weeks, so if you've had these symptoms for a while its unlikely to be type 1 diabetes. They also become quite difficult to ignore quite quickly - the thirst you feel is beyond extreme - it's like a crazy thirst that's kinda indescribable to someone who hasn't experienced it. Another marker for needing the toilet excessively is if you go several times during the night. The chances are your symptoms are related more to being a teenager - growing etc. and drinking a lot is healthy for you but does mean you need to pee more! But it wouldn't hurt to get checked out by a dr just to make sure there's nothing else going on, diabetes or otherwise. Hope that helps xxx
