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.
