Possible diabetes?

Hi there.

I'm looking for some advice. I'm currently going through investigations with a gynecologist for possible endometriosis. I also have IBS.

However, I'm now worried I may have diabetes too. My GP asked me back in February if I'd ever been tested for it, but I haven't. My symptoms are: frequent urination, constant hunger, extreme fatigue, weight loss/gain, itchy skin, headaches, tingly feet, frequent thirst, recurring thrush. I'm just wondering if I should get tested? Diabetes does run in my family. I'm 24, and female btw.

Many thanks, Rhiannon xx

It does sound like type 2 which I have but I've kicked it's ass by changing my diet. Had been veggie for years but had a crap time so stopped cooking and started eating crap. As soon as they told me I went vegan, started doing more exercise and eating much better. It's in your hands, you can take control and it not be a problem especially at your age, I'm 54 ☺
