Since I was young, I’ve had sensitive blood sugar. About once a month I’ll suddenly become very hungry, with horrible headaches and dizziness, and have to stop everything and eat and drink slowly until I can sit up again. This is just my norm. I can’t skip a meal without getting very sick. (Throwing up, shakiness, fatigue) Do you show symptoms of type 1 diabetes suddenly or gradually? I’ve had some minor health problems for a few months, and I feel like something is wrong.

I know on my dads side of the family diabetes is prevalent. For the past couple of months I’ve been extremely stressed due to work, my long term relationship with my boyfriend, finances, and family issues. I’ve noticed that I’ve been really irritated, tired, increased appetite (but I haven’t gained any weight), urinating frequently, and can not stop drinking fluids. I know when my father was diagnosed with diabetes 10 years ago he was going through depression due to the death of my grandfather.

How Does The Insulin With Diabetes Work?

Well, that was a bit confusing. I’m doing a fasting blood test soon and while I don’t think I have it, I’m curious as to what the treatment is. Do you always have to inject the insulin? Why can’t it be taken as a tablet? How do you know when you need to inject it?
Also, can you have type 2 diabetes when you’re 15? Again, I don’t think I have it, but my symptoms are milder and closer to those of type 2 diabetes than type 1…
