My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article czcams.com/users/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.
Food available now has a lot of sugar
"Blurred eyesight"
My already short-sighted eyes: *yes*
I wish i can remove the comment above

I dont have any of these symptoms but I'm not sure about blurred vision because I where glasses, but I also have a tingling feeling in my hands, fingers, and toes sometimes. Right now My big toe has a weird tingling feeling. Do any of you think I have diabetes?
I had 2 of these symptoms. Prayed to god. I did the results and they came fine🙏🏼🙏🏼
If u don't mind me asking what symptoms did u have i'm kind of paranoid I just got my blood test, only time will tell.

My daughter experienced stomach ache when she was first diabetic (type 1) also lost colour in her skin she looked pale a bit grey. We had no idea but once told she was diagnosed as diabetic we could see the symptoms and indicators were all there. When we saw the doctor he said go straight to hospital. She has coped really well with it since she was twelve and is now twenty-three and doing really well.

My paternal grandfather passed away 6 years ago due to a heart disease (am unsure what kind but according to my father that’s what he said and that was all I needed to know).
He did however tell me of a very important factor, which is the genetic and hereditary possibility of the both of us having diabetes in the future as my grandfather also had it as well.
At one point in my life, I was VERY CLOSE to getting Type 1 Diabetes but thankfully, it dwindled down.
Now that I’m 21, I’m definitely more cautious and observant of what I’m putting into my body as I was the kind of person that simply ate anything without a care in the world.
Even if it is still considered young to be so deeply concerned for my health, my body will thank me for it later in life and that is something I won’t ever be ashamed of.
how's your diet
@@AlexZenin
I’m a huge carb lover but I’ve tried resisting to eat carbs for 3 meals a day.
It was really painful in the beginning but it’s fine now. Diet’s a lot more balance and definitely practice portion control.
Also started the habit of eating slower so that I’m more aware of what and how much I put in my body. But also not limiting myself too much if say I want the real thing. Just can’t indulge too much of it. Even started to not eat after 7pm on the weekdays.
Because if I’m abroad, I’ll actually try to go vegan since it’s a whole lot more accessible there. But if it’s back home, then unfortunately there are certain things which will be too expensive for me to access so I try to find alternatives and variety.
Sugar was again the other thing that was even harder to cut down. I think I had a sugar addiction at some point. It was so frustrating and I kept getting annoyed because the more I thought about sugar and how easily accessible it was, the more I wanted to give up.
So I found a new hobby which was cycling and wow was it a game changer. Definitely made me thought about it less.
This is very responsible of you.
I hope diabetic patients can have healthy and happy life.... I have anxiety disorders too, so I understand how our disease can be disturbing us...
how are you
@@AlexZenin still have anxiety but it's 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 it's been better these day...
@@as2s3hf7gff did you like experience frequency of urination and did it improve
@@AlexZenin no, but my urine's smell not good.... I don't have diabetes though.... Maybe my blood sugar not stable, but I don't have it.
Must be affecting my hearing. Its a battle between the music and the narration and the music is winning.
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
For people worrying about why they're having symptoms, I'll share my story. I had excessive thirst and excessive urination. (Polyuria/polydipsia). As a skinny 21 year old who doesn't even like sweet foods that much, no matter what I searched on the internet those symptoms were always a main indicator of diabetes. The doctors ruled out type 1 and I was very scared awaiting my blood test results but...
It seemed like I had low potassium! Below normal potassium in your blood can cause your kidneys to function worse and not able to filter properly causing thirst and urination. It's still not a good thing of course but it was very similar to diabetic symptoms.
I also jave extreme thirst and urinate alot because if ot specially at night in day i dont feel that thirsty but i got a cut on my skin which actually healed normally and even tested my blood sugar (non fasting) after eating a bowl of pasta it came out 112 which is nornal but recently my skin on the mouth area has become very dry, i am also hypochondrian i am freaking out at 3:27 in the morning
@@zuhasajid900 Visit your doctor, a simple blood test will show everything!
I totally understand where you're coming from, this was me 2 weeks ago! The internet doesn't help because as soon as you mention thirst, all it ever shows is diabetes.
Usually symptoms only show up if you have uncontrolled diabetes because the body is making you pee to get rid of the excess build of sugar. Like you said, this build up would slow healing too.
The fact that your blood sugar is no where near that level shows you are most likely thirsty for an entirely other reason.
There are other signs of diabetes like tingly hands and feet, sweet smelling breath, rash on genitals etc...that I didn't have and I'm sure you don't either.
I ended up having low Vit D (I have dark skin and live in a cold country, haven't been outside since everything became online) and low Potassium, which can cause thirst and urination but also stuff like muscle cramps and stiffness, random heart beating really hard etc...
But the biggest thing for me is, I thought my thirst would never end. I felt thirsty day and night. I drank water and it never stopped but it's starting to go down now since I got my Vit D boosters and potassium. I still have a very dry mouth and flaky lips (it takes a while for the body to overcome deficiencies but it's improving).
Anyway I rambled on for so long but my point is, get a blood test! It will show your glucose over the past 3 months because usually the finger prick isn't that accurate for diagnosing diabetes. I'm sure like me, your issue is a deficiency entirely elsewhere. Please don't worry :(
@@zuhasajid900 update?
im experiencing the same symptoms and im a skinny 18 yr old girl. ive been really thirsty and urinate more than usual. these are the only symptoms tho so idk but im still really worried
@@shakirasprisonguard6497same here I'm 17 not so skinny
Thanks for the video, I've been a runner for the past year and have been thinking it's all because I'm running but it stays like this during the off seasons so I'm going to check with my doctor and see about getting tested.
I'm currently struggling with the fact that I may soon be prediabetic. I have diabetes in my family (my paternal grandfather had it) and I'm very worried about it. I had bloodwork done this last July, and my blood sugar levels were above average, but not to the point where I'd need to seek medical help. But, I've been feeling much more of the symptoms, and I'm concerned..
I'm just here to vent, that's all.
Hi, how old are you? And are there any updates?
@@Sandro-qq4xb I’m 15, soon to be 16. I’ve remained pretty much the same, maybe a bit higher with my blood sugar. But I haven’t gone to get blood work since
@@moochia_ What were your levels? I'm 22 and mine came back at 108 which is worrying me a lot. I've felt some symptoms for the past years but the levels aren't high enough that the doctor even mentions it..
@@Adrian-gw3mk 108 mg/dl is not high at all. Mine came back as 195 and anything over 200 is considered diabetes 💀. I'm literally borderline fucked basically.
@@masnwrdl0511 108 is pre diabetic for fasting glucose (not eating before the blood draw). 195 is pre diabetic for 2 hour glucose tolerance (glucose drink 2 hours before blood draw). Still time for both of you to turn it around. I wouldn't dilly dally though. Get 'er done.
Great Videos For to learn About Diabtes. Thanks Share it for me.
Thanks for the information.
My blood sugar level went to 1.4 yesterday and felt very tired, headaches, confused, dizziness and so on it was horrible.Been having it for over 4 weeks on and off issues. Today it has been a little higher than norm at moment so before food at 6.5 nearly 7 and rising without even eating or drinking.
I am keeping up with drinks. I have had infection after infection though! Urgh!
Hello i have a mom,grandfather,best friend and may me who has t1d. If you’re this low (best to be 4-8) but if your lower the please get something to eat or drink do you have T1D if not please go and get checked up please and reply please 🙏 😊
My wounds heal fast, but I’m still thirsty, but I’m dealing with a lot of these symptoms
Mine too, BUT then I hurt my foot on a Lego brick... Took absolutely forever to heal.
Maybe it is location dependent? All I'm saying is that maybe there's a reason the video shows an injured foot.
@@janalu4067 mine wound heals very fast i don't like sweets , i don't do exercise , i feel itchy in genitals down but from childhood , i experience fungal infection frequently but from childhood it's common, i like drinking water but got to pee quickly after drinking water but i don't feel urge to drink water , my skin type is dry . Maybe due to because from last 2 years I try drinking water frequently because it's good for health before I don't drink that much water , I'm 17 now
@@imawarrior4527 that’s so strange that you get itchy in the genitals because I do too.

i'm so nervous. i'm a 17 year old girl with a bmi around 16.5 or 17 (i've always had a lower bmi idk) and i eat so fucking poorly and i haven't been very active the past like year and im so worried i have diabetes. it doesn't really run in my family i don't think but i eat so badly i think i genuinely have a binge eating disorder and an addiction to sugar, like eating sugar and spicy chips and shit gives me so many endorphins that i legit get sad without it. i'm so fucking nervous omg i've also been peeing so much the past few days i've never had to wake up in the night to pee but the past three nights i've woken up SEVERAL TIMES to go to the bathroom and pee. it's 2:13 am and i had to get out of bed yet again to pee and im having like anxiety right now maybe even an anxiety attack like i'm so scared i am terrified of blood tests but i want to ask my parents if i can get one bc i think i'm fucking diabetic holy shit
I came here to see if I have this horrible disease. I’ve been rather hungry and thirsty as well as fairly tired over the last few days, and it’s been causing me nothing but anxiety. I’ve never seen a loss or gain in weight, but I can’t help but fear the worst.

Do you need to have all the symptoms in order to confirm you have it?
I have type 1 diabetes when I was diagnosed I was 12 hours away from a coma and 1 day into dka (diabetic ketoacidocis.
i have dry mouth symptom, and my FBS result was 133g/dl which the normal is 110, the doctor told me to have a diet minimize sweet foods, my question is is there a hope to make it normal?
I have vertigo with all these symptoms. I might have to go get checked
Soooo can how do I get rid of sugar in my blood? Besides meds?
How would I know that I have it though? Will I faint, start coughing, pass out??

I have all symptoms, but it is hard to consult a doctor from where I live and my parents keep on saying my "feeling tired" is just me being dramatic. I hate that I'm panicking and feel paranoid about it but I had this infected wound in my pelvic area, it had healed but formed into a weird red bump that doesn't go away.
Did you got tested?
get blood work

Hi! I'm sorry if your parents are writing off your exhaustion. I hope they soon pay attention to your health.
May I know your age? I'm about 22 now and i'm exhibiting multiple symptoms mentioned in the video.
I think most people are a little bit thirsty during or after eating.
With my diabetes I feel alone in school my only friends abandoned me when they found out I was alone in till I met wonderfully people and I was on the verge of tears when I lost weight I always thought I was "too heavy" I was fine and teachers always ask if I can eat stuff and the constant injections just make me feel so frustrated
I’m in the process of being tested for diabetes and only really display 2 of the 4 main symptoms. My vision does blur sometimes but more often it’s a shaking sensation (if that makes sense) I’m quite scared of what the results are going to be tbh.

Thanx UK. I find this all more believable than if it came from US sources.
The United States as a big problem with diabetes and that's not surprising really given their diet's .This issue as slowly becoming a UK problem and will continue until people start taking responsibility for with their diet's .Sugar is as addictive as heroin and just as deadly are it's effects on our bodies .
@Ashley Jones thanx Ashley. I'll give him a try.

I've been experiencing symptoms for a bit. Today it was a bit worse though. I almost passed out at school three times going up and down the stairs and walking in the hallway. Today I was also really shaky, very nauseous, and had a bad headache. It could just be sinuses, I may be overreacting. I go to the doctor tomorrow though. I'm going to ask my grandmother to get tested just in case. 👍
So did they find anything?
omg me too, they had me seen an endocrinologist, and they got me labs afterwards and the result will be in soon, its hard feeling unsafe in school, while wanting no one to know, also eating breakfast is what they say helps
@@annag1990 WHAT WAS IT
@@annag1990 TELL ME PLS
@@dratinibrah they said nothing at all, they just sent me my labs back, and nothing was in danger so they couldn’t do anything more, it feels like the symptoms went away after 2-3 weeks though, which makes me worry more, ive just been gaining mire weight, n it’s getting out of hand
I have itching down there (which I have been checked for many infections down below and all is fine) also, my tongue is always white and patchy and I find it hard to swallow. I don’t know if I have it but I don’t know if I should get tested or not?

Hi,
Thank you for your comment.
We are sorry to hear this. Please get in touch with your healthcare team as soon as possible to discuss and get support for what you are experiencing.
You should probably talk to a doctor about that. You should not put that off.

What does it mean to be 41. I got test done from doctors and i was told to diabetes centre when i registered tgey called me and said i dont hv diabetes it has to be 42 so u dont hv ir. But i had a dizzy spell and ambulance came and they checked my sugar level and they said i didnt hv it either but results were lot different from doctors. What i want to know what is the one thing i can do to cure this before its too late?
This! I've been having this. Although the hand one, I've seen on a tiktok and everyone seems to have that random itching where we can't find the itch on the hand so we have to bite them, idk what that it but a lot of people seem to experience that. I've seem to also feel this feeling or cramp-like sensation on one of legs. Hopefully this ain't diabetes since it runs in my family.
@@milkyuuu6170 diabetes also runs in my family. the itching happens to my dad a lot and he has to bite it to go away. not sure if it’s a common thing but for the itching i get this like pain-itch thing that cause me to bite my fingers, since that’s where it itches all the time, but idk. i hope it goes away and you feel better btw :))
dang i recognise some of this. guess i gotta get my blood tested just to be sure. prob nothing, changed my diet too, but thanks for the easy no fluff video. 👍
@Ashley Jones dr obela removed the wrong leg, don't follow him!
Peoples if you are having the symptoms of diabetes, please, please, PLEASE get it checked out! You haven't got much to loose, but very much to gain. Furthermore the festive season has begun, so medical folk, Dr's and Nurses are gonna be working flat out!
nice froM INFOMEDS
My wounds heal slow but i have vitamin d deficiency for drinking water my kom told me since being a child i used to drink a lot .. tiredness i can't really tell i feel like my arms and legs are tired but i still can dance abd do ao many things
I'm really so scared 😭😭
Is it treatable? My symptoms are urinating ALOT nearly every hour, feeling tired, and a tingly finger tip as im typing this now but im not sure if it is diabetes because i also have iron deficiency and the symptoms are similar.
I wanna get checked up but i don’t want my parents to know about it lol as they are health geeks and i dont want the pressure, im finding myself an apartment soon.
update??
Ilona, yes all types of diabetes are treatable, so do ask your GP to arrange a blood glucose test as soon as possible. You can also speak to our helpline for further advice. Tel: 0345 123 2399, Mon-Fri, 9am-6pm.
Any update ?
i pee frequently if i drink the prescribed 8 glasses of water. my pee turns clear really easily. i also have miopia. do i have diabetes or does my body simply require less water than the average person?
Your pee turns clear because of water
Myopia doesn't have anything to do with diabetes, since it is an independently diagnosed illness and your eyes change when you're growing which can cause eye problems(like for me)
Can diabetes cause skinny problem
Becoz I have many symptoms in 14.
Hi there. Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, having diabetes can lead to eating disorders (www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/emotions/eating-disorders). But there is plenty of support available to you. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us (www.diabetes.org.uk/about_us/contact_us) if you need any further support with this. Take care.
Hi, I was wondering if any one could please reply to my comment? For the past 3 months or so I have has excessive thirst, and dizziness, followed by zoning out and exhaustion. Does anyone know what I should do?
Hi there - if you haven't already, we would highly recommend speaking to your GP or a healthcare professional about your symptoms so that you can get the appropriate tests and diagnosis 💙
Took a test online said I'm low risk of diabetes but I don't know.
Wondering if I have this. Doctors appointment coming up but still looking for answers. Anytime I drink or eat something sweet (mostly when I drink something sweet) literally anything but water it makes me feel weak, faint, and “out of it”. That’s the best way to explain it. I feel as if I’m always thirsty but yet I basically drink nothing but water because it’s the only thing that doesn’t make me feel weird. If I eat sweet things it happens as well but not as much as drinking something sweet. If I eat something sweet it’s like my body NEEDS/CRAVES water instead of milk or something else. I’ve stopped drinking sugary drinks for like 3 years now because it makes me feel terrible. Anybody have any clues or advice on if this sounds like diabetes?
Maybe some sort of vitamin or mineral deficiency?
Go get tested at dr or walk in clinic!
I have the craziest sweet tooth ever and while none of these symptoms are really present on me, my skin has always been super itchy these few days and I wanted to know if that was also a symptom of diabetes
Hi there - while this may not be a symptom of diabetes, we'd recommend speaking to your doctor about this symptom so you can receive the appropriate treatment.

My grandparents was diabetic patient especially my grandfather..
I feel like going to pee every 5,10 minutes when I am at my home
When outside it aint such a problem
Yeah my eyesight is very low
😢
Hi Samrat, we'd recommend speaking to your GP about your symptoms as soon as possible to get tested. 💙
i cnsume lots of sugar like 2 or 3 cola cans and cakes in a day but my weight is till the same over years its 63 kgs, i urinate in 15 mins to half an hour after consuming any liquids but donot get much thirsty.. sometimes i can stay on just a single glass of water per day. Can i be diabetic because of frequent urination after drinking liquids.?
Hi Asad not to be alarmist but your sugar intake could be harming you more than you think try getting of the sugars it's hard because they are so addictive but if you stop for just one week I bet you will feel amazing.
1. You should eat less sugar cause you could make a rocket eith that amount
2. Usually you need to pee 1 hour after drinking so if it's less it's a bit concerning(not necessarily diabetes tho)
Im a teen with a sweat tooth but I’ve been very thirsty lately and peeing very long but not often
Hi there, these symptoms can be a sign of diabetes. Please book an appointment with your doctor so they can run some tests and offer their medical opinion. Take care.
I'm confused. I get really hungry out of nowhere. This also happens after I already ate. I find it really weird. Like today, I had a full meal, a few minutes later I had a soda, and it made me really hungry. Any idea what can this be?
