Worried I might have diabetes
-
For the last couple of weeks, I have been feeling thirsty and needing the toilet a lot. Sometimes in the middle of the night, and despite the amount I'm drinking I feel dehydrated in the morning.I went to a walk-in center this morning and they tested my urine and said it is not diabetes. I hadn't yet eaten and I had drank a lot of water since the night before. I'm just wondering if there's any chance the urine test would not be accurate as the amount of water I've been drinking may lower the glucose levels?
They've given me medication for a UTI, but I'm not experiencing any of the other symptoms for UTIs such as pain or dark urine, as it is coming out almost clear.
Also my brother has type one diabetes and was diagnosed in his 20s, I am also in my 20s. -
@srihasini do you have any other symptoms besides being thirsty? Not everyone with diabetes has glucose in their urine, it can show itself in other ways.
Please think carefully have you had any abscesses, boils etc., these can be a sign of possible diabetes.
but better still please go and speak to your GP and explain your fears, ask him if you can have your bloods done to put your mind at rest, I'm sure he will if you ask.
