my friend, grandmother, and oncle have diabetes. its not the end of the world, we still blaze (the friend.. not grandmother). you should be fine off, but definatley see a doctor to confirm your diagnosis.

my cousin has diabetes. And she has a perfectly normal life besides this thing she wears on her hip that pumps insulin into her body.

Go to a Pharmacy and see if they have a test... Diabetes run in my family,it ultimately killed my father cause he was a alcoholic to boot... Basically there is diff degrees of the disease,some control it by diet alone and like Halo's cousin need insulin to control it..

Get tested cause it's nothing to play with...

Perhaps you should make an appointment with your family Dr. or a specialist in that field.

What symptoms do you have that leads you to believe that you may be getting ill?

There are different types of diabetes. I'm know about type 2, because I have it. Type 2 is caused by insulin resistance and is usually detected in adults. I was just recently diagnosed at age 49. Currently my treatment consists of diet/excercise/oral medication.

Type 1 is usually detected in children, and I know nothing about that kind, although I believe that they more likely require insulin.

The best way to find out is to get a physical with a family doctor. Having symptoms of diabetes doesn't mean you have it .... having family members with diabetes makes it more likely that you might ..... having other risk factors like obesity or cardiological problems make it more important to detect early.

Symptoms are feeling run-down and tired.
And you drink a lot more than normal therefore you pee more.
These are the most known symptoms probly more.
