Hey,
Lemme give you the basic facts of the current situation. I'm female, of asian background, 17 years old, 1.63 cm tall and weigh 43 kg, and apparently I have high metabolic rate. I exercise regularly (badminton, walking fast ... well, that's exercise sure) and I eat a diet of junk-ala-healthy....ish. You see, I can't resist chocolates and I must have one at least everyday. I don't like salt by the way, but sugar yes. You name it - fruits, honey, golden syrup, ice creams etc (surprisingly I'm not that fond of sweets). I don't like vegetables except carrots, lettuce and tomatoes (although I don't mind steamed spinach). My parents are organic freaks although I don't eat like them all the time. I'm rarely seen in college without some food in my hand (chocolates, sandwiches and even cereals lol). I don't like big meals but I prefer snacking all the time instead. Lol.
But after several warnings from my parents that I'm just eating way too much chocolates and that our family DOES have a history of diabetes, I began to consider about making an effort to eat a healthier diet. When I got this massive breakout on my face, my parents forbidden me to eat chocolates at all. The craving grew worse until I had a tiny bite off from Yorkie .... and, well, you know the rest. But I think I've calmed down abit because now I can stand without chocolates for 3 days so long the honey pot's not finished yet. And also, now increasingly aware of god knows how much toxic I got in my body, I began to drink at least 8 glasses of water.
And this is when the funny bits happened. I don't feel thirsty all the time, in fact I can go off without water for say, 7 hours. (Perhaps due to my obsession with lip balms, but anyways). But once I start drinking, my mouth always feel really dry and my lips gets chapped and even the tip of my tongue gets stiff and hurts abit. In lessons or even shopping, I have to rush to the toilet like every 15 minutes. Despite the inconvenience of trying to fuel one's self 10 glasses of water, I still held my 2 litres Evian bottle with pride. But I don't know. I just checked several websites for symptoms of diabetes and I seem to fit in every criteria except I'm not overweight, I'm not over 40, I haven't particularly noticed any weight loss and as I wear glasses anyway and I should've collected my new pair from the opticians last year, I don't think 'blurred vision' would count.
Hmm? And if these could be minor symptoms, is it already too late anyway? (I hate the idea of injecting insulin everyday, urgh). Okay I will see a doctor in the end but I need opinions first
