Should I Get Checked?

I have a family history of Diabetes. Since High School, I have gone through periods of excess thirst, fatigue and excess hunger, extremely itchy skin, sometimes I got blurred vision(but shrugged off as eyes being tired), I also get kidney stones every two years and they take forever to pass and they are painful, and I also go through periods where I am not hungary, thirsty, and can't go to sleep.

Should I Get Checked?

Reply:Yes, you have all of the symptoms. The thirst is the biggest one.. Just get checked at least you'll know
Reply:If you have family history of diabetes then you must get your blood glucose checked , also you are suffering from symptoms of diabetes(hunger blurry vision, thirst).





Go to the lab and get your blood glucose levels tested.If get the results normal, be happy but still you need precautions in your daily life. You have change your entire lifestyle, eat low carbo, high fiber ,low glycemic index diet which gives you more energy and is low in calories.Eat lot of fresh fruits vegetables that have natural minerals (dried apricots , banana for potassium which will help in type 2 diabetes-insulin resistance) Cinnamon will also help you.
