Is it possible to be have type 1 diabetes without loosing weight befor you’re diagnosed?
I’ve heard the biggest sign of it is loosing weight. I have been peeing like each five minutes for the last week and becoming really thirsty. I've been moody. Like one minute i'll be all jittery and hyper and the next i'll feel like I have to sleep. Also after I eat I feel really weird. Like shaky.
I don't know what to think. I know those are a lot of the signs, but I'm loosing the weight.
Answer:
There are a lot of symptoms of diabetes listed on the internet but you don't have to have all of them to have diabetes. Unexplained weight loss wouldn’t show up until you'd had untreated high blood sugars for a fairly long time. Some people never get some symptoms and some get them all.
The only way to find out what’s causing your increased urination is to go to the doctor, talk about what you're experiencing, and have urine & blood tests performed.
Answer:
You don't have to have weight loss as one of the symptoms. You sound like you’ve something metabolic going on, and only a physician will know for sure. Get to a doctor as soon as you can. If it is diabetes you could be damaging you body if you aren't treating it. Best of luck to you!
Answer:
yea, that all happened to me too..
and i did lose weight, but you don't have to lose the weight.
just go to your physician and let them check your blood sugar, and maybe some other minor things, but its as easy as that.
it would be much superior to catch it now instead of ending up with DKA in the hospital.
best of luck to you!
Answer:
The thirst/urination cycle is the biggest sign of Type 1…the other things you mention are not. Keep in mind it's summer, so you might be thirstier than normal. If you're concerned, get a blood glucose kit at the drugstore and test it to see where you’re.
