Diabetologist,  's  Response
Dear madam i can understand your concern.
in my opinion Excess thirst and fatigue are symptoms related to diabetes.
easy Bruising may not be related to diabetes and need evaluation.
your are quite young and not overy weight which will decrease the chance of type 2 diabetes.
But type 1 diabetes to be excluded so i suggest you to meet a physician and take opinion regarding doing test like
1.fasting blood sugar
2.Hba1c
3.blood coagulation profile and complete blood counts
i am suggesting coagulation profile to evaluate bruises.
Honestly, I don't diagnose you with this condition; but it's definitely worth evaluation in these lines since there are many matching symptoms. Please discuss with your treating doctor.
