[kmjohnson]

and is ..i know it sounds gross, but, sometimes vomiting a little in your mouth, or feeling like its in your throat....could that have something to do with diabetes? ive heard it is.
i do have other symptoms, i was just wondering if that was one too. ill post another question since this one probably wont get much more attention

No....vomiting does not mean you have diabetes. It can be a million other things.

Diabetes type 1 is for people who have had it since they were little. It can be controlled with medicine but it's hard to manage.

Diabetes type 2 is for people who have it later on in life. It can be controleld with proper diet.

Vomiting CAN be a sign of uncontrolled diabetes, but you haven't mentioned any other symptoms that would come way before that stage so it's doubtful that you have diabetes. (I won't go into detail as to why diabetes may cause vomiting or we'll be here all night.)

If you are really worried about it, your best option is to book to see your doctor. S/he will listen to what symptoms you tell her/him you have, and decide whether s/he would be justified in carrying out further tests. The first of these tests would probably to test your urine to see if there's any sugar (glucose) present. This would give her/him an indication as to whether further testing would be necessary. S/he may also carry out a fingerprick blood test. Again, this would indicate whether sugar was present. (It's more accurate than simply testing the urine.) The next blood test would be a fasting blood plasma test, which means that you wouldn't have eaten from the night before.

I'll leave it at that because I honestly don't believe, from your lack of symptoms, that you are diabetic.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the very best of luck, and a future of good health.
