What Are The Symptoms Of Diabetes?

Hello, My name is Kevin. Lately I have wondered of I should be tested for Diabetes. I have shown symptoms of it such as my feet with extreme dryness but that could be just from athletes foot who knows. I constantly pee, I m always hungry and crave sweets. My toe nails grow with this weird indention that looks like someone hit my toe or something. Plus not to mention I m Mexican and everyone on my fathers side of the family suffers from diabetes. So I was just wondering what I should do. I bought a glucose reading device but still haven t tested myself yet. Would it still be possible for me to be a pre-diabetic even though I m physically active? I mean I am only 21yrs old and weigh 185lbs with a height of 6 1

Hello,
Your symptoms and a positive family hostory do raise the suspicion of diabetes and so you should be investigated for it thoroughly by getting fasting blood sugar,post prandial blood sugar and HBA1c estimated.
Consult a doctor and get examined and investigated.
Thanks
