Could I have diabetes?

[chefchef123]

Hi I am an 18 year old sports student, I am very active and play sport 4 days a week. Recently I have started eating alot more than usual and drinking a lot more than usual but have somehow managed to drop 1 stone in weight. I have also been going to the toilet more which is also a symptom from what I have read. My aunt has diabetes type 1 but not my mum, dad, or any of my siblings, however my parents have high blood preassure mine is fine if not a little low. For three years I have suffered from migranes if I dont eat regularly and am constantly tired. Ifeel really weak and lightheaded if I don't eat for a while. I don't think I am at risk because I live an active lifestyle and eat well but could I be wrong, should I visit my GP or will they simply say that I shouldn't be concerned! For three years I have suffered from migranes if I dont eat regularly and am constantly tired.
Thanks board

Hiya
Go and see the doc. A simple blood test will tell. Don't worry if you are a diabetic you can still live an active normal life, if thats worring you. good luck!
