What Are The Symptoms Of Diabetes?
Hey, A few months ago I went on a extremley limiting diet... During this time I experienced severe dehydration, dry mouth, nausea, and lightheadedness. Once I started to go back on a more normal diet, the symptoms resided. However, during the past few days I ve started to experience more of the dehyrdation. To make matters worse, I have not slept in the past two days because of schoolwork.... Now I feel extreme dehydration, nausea, and lightheadedness again... My question is... Do I have diabetes, or are my poor habits causing diabetes-like symptoms? If I continue this pattern, could I develop diabetes, and, if I make better choices can I reverse the diabetes? Thank you!

Dear madam/sir
I can understand your concern
The major symptoms of diabetes are
1.increase frequency of urination
2.increase thirst
3. unexplained weight loss
4.uncontrolled infections and non healing wounds
5.blurred vision
6.too much hunger
most of this symptoms are due to high blood sugars in blood
Dehydration can be relieved by taking sufficient amount of water which is very important.
to continue in to further discussion i need to know some information from you
1.your age height and weight.
2.any family history of diabetes?
3.what are your diet habits.
4.what kind of exercise you do daily?
in my opinion most of your symptoms might be due to infectious origin or due to excess stress also
kindly give me information for further discussion
