Ever since i quit smoking i’ve noticed a lot of things that people tell me could be symptoms of diabetes. I know that quitting smoking will make you feel poor for a while but it’s been two months today and i’m noticing it still.
Ever since i was a preteen i’ve felt like i had no energy and get easily exhausted.
I’ve also had this problem with ALWAYS being thirsty… i’m always drinking water or juice or pop or anything liquid really.
I’ve also always had a problem with getting hungry frequently… i could eat a entire meal and then half an hour to an hour later… i’m hungry again.
Not to mention that my hands and feet are nearly always cold (since i was young).
I also seem to have a poor digestive system because my belly nearly always feels “not right” as well as my bowels.
I know there could be more than 1 answer for these things, but I desire to do the test anyway and i’m worried that my physician wont take me seriously because i’m sort of self-diagnosing…what ought i do?

Go to your doctor and tell him/her exactly what you’ve outlined in your question. Tell him/her what you are concerned about. Diabetes is a possibility based on a couple of the symptoms you’ve mentioned, but there are other possibly causes as well. A good doctor won’t blow you off simply because you have a pre-visit concern regarding specific diseases.
SAY : “TEST ME FOR DIABETES!” thats all. he’ll get ur point.
Hi doctor, I want to be tested for diabetes…
just ask.
Have you ever had a blood test, if you did then how long ago? Check it and it will probably say Glycemia and a number that should be between 70 and 110. If you haven’t had a blood test for a while then you can get one.
A regional hospital/clinic might offer free diabetic screening.
A local drugstore might sell a Glucose Screening Test.http://www.amazon.com/EarlyDetect-Inc-Gl…
