First off, I have not gotten checked for diabetes because I have a physical exam on the 31st and I wish to talk to my physician first about it and see what she says.
I am 20 year old, Hispanic male. 5'6, and 145 pounds. My diet isn't the worse but i wouldn't say it's the healthiest. I am pretty inactive, though. Both my grandfathers developed diabetes later on in life, but no one else in the family has it.
My symptoms right now include a dry mouth/thirst. I first got worried when one night my mouth felt extremely dry and I was thirsty and that feeling would not go away despite me going through like 2 water bottles in the span of an hour.
Since then most of my nights my mouth feels dry and I got to sleep feeling like that, but I do wake up with out a dry mouth even if I don't drink water through out the night. I have not waken up to urinate at night or to get a drink at night. Through out the past several of days I've been keeping track of the amount of times I urinate its usually 6-8 times a day. I never kept track before, but for me that does seem more than usual.
The reason why I'm paranoid that I might have diabetes is mostly because of the internet lol. The night I felt really thirst, I googled it and the first thing that popped up was diabetes. I'd like to know what were some of the first symptoms you guys experienced.
