A strange question.

Hello everyone, im feeling super strange today, i have dry throat nearly all the time even like 30 seconds after I drink - I still have it dry, i have super light dizzyness. After this feeling for a whole day I started checking what could it be, and I found diabetes most common to it. Iam 16 years old, my BMI is 26,3 which means im have 12kg overweight.
Worth mentioning - i have no other symtoms like - peeing more often or itchy skin or blurred vision or wanting more to eat than I need to.

So my question is -
How possible it is thats diabetes?
Maybe its just high blood preasure symtoms that I shouldn't be very much concerned about?(I ate huge amount of oven baked potatoes in the past two days - thats why im thinking about this.

If anyone has any ideas, any answers, any thoughts about this - please tell me.

Thank you so much :)

P.S
Im going to check my glucose level in blood tommorow, kind of not waiting it.

Hi @Matt535 :)

Thirst is a symptom of diabetes but it doesn't mean that everyone who is thirsty has diabetes :) There are many causes of thirst - one being the very hot weather we're having now.

If you're worried about diabetes, the best thing to do is to see a doctor. A doctor can also check for other medical problems that might be causing your thirst.
