[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2745638, member: 401801"] Hi [USER=595561]@shxnzzz[/USER] , With the others here: get a HbA1c test done. It's the only thing that'll be rather conclusive when it comes to diabetes, and when you tell your doc about why you want it done, they might want to check a few other possibilities too. Cover all the bases, so to speak. You never know, you might be barking up the wrong tree. Or the right one. No way of knowing until you get a professional involved, alas... But if it is some form of diabetes, don't get stuck with the blame-game. Like Ellie said, type 1 is an autoimmune condition, Type 2 a genetic predisposition to develop it with the carb-heavy diet people this day and age eat. Your neighbour could exist on the exact same diet and never get diabetes, if that is what you're experiencing. Luck of the draw. In any case, we'll be right here when you have answers and they point a certain way. However this pans out though, I hope you'll be feeling right as rain in no time at all. Good luck! Jo [/QUOTE]
