Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

Yes, I would definitely think that with a positiv efamily history , and those types of symptoms, one should definitely get investigated for diabetes mellitus.

The typical symptoms of diabetes are weight loss, increased thirst, increased food intake and increased urination. There is always the possibility of not having any one or none of the mentioned symptoms.

I would suggest the tests OF FBS, PPBS and HbA1C. These 3 tests may help detect diabetes accurately

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.
