Are These Symptoms Of Diabetes?

My legs and feet will randomly turn bright red and tingle and itch. Is this a sign of diabetes? I have almost all the symptoms. Non stop thirst, always sleepy, urinating all the time, hungry a lot even though I just ate, and like I said itchy red legs and feet. I've been tested one but it said I didn't have it. Should I get tested again? Please get back to me.
