Hi, my name is Nikki and I am 19. Could really use some help in relation diabetes.
Sorry, I realise I didn't leave a lot o information.
Basically diabetes in my family is quite common, the closest being my father. I would like to know roughly what my chances are of inheriting it.
Also at the moment, I am finding that I am needing to drink all of the time and needing to go to the toilet a lot more than usual.
I looked that up and read that the 3 most common signs were drinking more, going to the toilet more, and an increase in your appetite. My appetite has actually got worse in the fact that I am literally struggling to eat.
Knowing that diabetes runs in my family makes it even worse.
Please someone help me

In view of your symptoms and family history you should go to your GP and get some tests done which will set your mind at rest one way or the other. If you do turn out to be diabetic then come back here and we will all help you get started on managing your diabetes.
