Can symptoms of diabetes be mistaken as symptoms of a thyroid disease? How do you get tested to know if you are diabetic?

@Tomm – If you’re experiencing all of those symptoms and you are still testing normally, it may be time for you to seek some medical attention. I believe that if my eyesight had been blurred for more than even a month I would go see a doctor. If you HAVE seen a doctor and they haven’t been able to help you, it would probably be a good idea to get a second opinion from a specialist. Hope you find out what’s up with your body.

i am 27 years old. diabetes runs on both sides of my family. here lately i have been tired all day long. 6 to 8 hours of sleep and i still feel like i have not slept. i have been urinating more often then usual, way more often. some days i am hungry no matter what and like today, i dont want to eat at all. i do wear glasses, but at times everything is a little more on the blurry side. there is times that i get extreme headaches and i feel weak and irritated all of a sudden. my arms itch like im having an allergic reaction to something, but im not allergic to anything. my teeth have been bothering me as well, i have never had dental issues. what should i do?

Recently I have been havning all of the symptoms that are listed. I also have tremendous difficulty losing weight. I had 3 children, all over 10lbs and I KNOW I had diabetes while pregnant but because the “test didn’t show it” I was told NO. My last baby was born and needed to be on IV for his blood sugar because it crashed after birth – sure, floating arond in all that sugar and then nothing? Proves definite diabetes. So knowing the tests will show “high normal” or nothing at all, do you have any suggestions? Are there any tests that are more sensitive that will point this out? There are too many coincidences here. One endocrinologist went as far as telling me I eat a bag of Oreos unconsciously in the middle of the night and I should have my husband check my trash in the morning and he knows that he will find cookie and candy wrappers and that will then point to the problem. Yeah. Right. I need help and just don’t know where to turn!

I am 20, the symptoms ive been having include, dizzy, blurred vision, numbness of the hands and feet, excessive drinking of liquids and urination, chest pains directly over the heart, headaches, mysterious bruises all over my body, for the last month or so all i really want to do is sleep. i could sleep for a full day, wake up and still be tired and i pass out at least twice a month. im 6′ 4″ and ive lost almost a hundred lbs. which would put me right at 165lbs. My family has a long history of heart problems and diabetes. I dont know what it could be so any help would be great
