Diabetes symptoms?

[Luwayla]

I have the following symptoms - thirst (24/7), drowsiness, weak - having no energy..I feel tired all the time...and the desire to eat constantly..sweet foods. Could I be diabetic? Can I do any home test instead of having to go to the Doctors, as it's so difficult to get an appointment.
Also have to urinate frequently, and I feel my eye sight is deterioating so rapidly.

Diabetes is very serious when left untreated. I'm not saying you have it, but the symptoms you are showing are symptoms of diabetes. There isn't really a home test, but if you know someone who is diabetic, they could do a quick blood sugar test. Honestly, though, your best bet would be to go to the doctor. Since appointments are so hard to get, I'd recommend you mention ALL your symptoms and that you are wondering if it might be diabetes. They should be able to get you in then, or may even suggest you go to the ER. In the mean time, when you are drinking, drink water...do not drink juice, pop, etc. But I'd give someone a call asap...if it is diabetes, you will only get weaker and sicker, never better, without treatment.

Good luck!
