My friends think i might be diatbetic?!?!

You sound about 13. See a doctor or the school nurse.

Diabetes can and often does go undiagnosed because the symptoms can seem harmless and oftentimes normal.

Some diabetes symptoms include:

* Frequent urination
* Excessive thirst
* Extreme hunger
* Unusual weight loss
* Increased fatigue
* Irritability
* Blurry vision

See a doctor or the school nurse. It sounds like a normal teenage thing, but if you are worried see an expert. I'm sure you would not really rather die. Someone your age can't understand what dying really means. Think how your family would feel.

Interesting that you would post in S&R forum.

Many in my family are diabetic and it doesn't have to be a catastrophe.

But believe me when I say that, if you have it, whatever treatment your doctor may recommend is better than the alternatives.

actualy lol i just left the topic thing cuz i didn notice it sorry...

but i would go and see a doctor but i cant trust myself much anymore since i went to see a counciler cuz i self harmed.
I was worried bout my friends because although i had stopped they carried on n they were everywhere 100x worse than me!
I promised tht i wouldnt tell anyone and with fear i told my counciler.
My friends were not happy and didn speak to me for days!

I guess i just lost my confidence and cant tell people things just incase i tell them somethink i shouldn of.

I guess your right tht i wouldn like to die but iv wanted to so many times and sometimes still do. i guess you could say im emo or something but i dont like to see myself like tht.

The test for diabeties is so simple. It involves a tiny finger prick and one drop of blood. No bull here. you dont need your fathers permision to see a doctor. just go to any hospital or clinic and discuss a nurse will probly do the test it is so simple..

Many diabetics control their condition with only diet and excercise. no insulin injections.

The important part is knowing.

I'm more concerned over your harming yourself and feeling as if your parents or counselors won't understand. While it's normal to have these feelings occasionally, please don't turn into yourself. Find a counselor you can trust and stick with it.

Also, you can keep coming back here because it is a public forum. Just be careful not to post personal or private information like your name or your school on the internet. Once internet conversations become private, there is opportunity for abuse.

GO TO A DOCTOR. DO NOT SPECULATE ABOUT THIS.

Yes, I am shouting at you.

If it's diabetes, really, then it can be treated. If it's something else, then it probably can also be treated (and there's no shame in getting anything else treated).

If diabetes is left unchecked, you can go blind among other fun things. Not knowing it is, if it is, is foolish denial and you can still go blind anyway.

Go to a doctor. Get it settled once and for all. It can be taken care of but not if you hide in a corner.

You need to tell a parent, go see your school nurse, talk to your counselor, this is not something that you keep to yourself....to end up sick over in the long run because of ignoring it, or not wanting to talk to an adult to get help for what ails you.

If your not close to your parents, then atleast talk to the nurse at school about it, that is what they get paid for.....it is their job.



And I don't know who told you that you HAD to stick a needle in you to control your sugar levels???

Sometimes all it takes is watching what you eat or maybe a pill once a day, along with keeping a check on your sugar level.
