Hey all I am Chris and I am 27 and a male. For years I have had weight issues and am currently 240lbs. For the last year or so I have been having issues with my energy level. I got to talking to my estranged father and he said I should get tested for diabetes. My symptoms I have are that I am always thirsty no matter how much water I drink, lack of energy and occasionally get pale and shaky, my eyesight gets blurry as well as I have wounds that heal EXTREMELY slowly. I also found out my dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when he was 29. Can I get an opinion?

- Acceptance of health treatment claims that are not adequately supported by evidence. I dislike it when people sell ineffective and even harmful alternative health products to exploit the desperation of people with chronic illness.
My opinion is that you should get tested for diabetes. Make an appointment with your GP asap.

Hi chris, you should get an appointment to see your gp and tell him your symptoms I suspect he will give you a blood test and then you will know. If you are please come back and we can help.
In the meantime please try and lose weight it will only help your health even if your blood tests are okay.

Hi Chris. No-one here can diagnose you. Your symptoms could be diabetes, but they could also be other things. You need to see a doctor sooner rather than later and ask for a blood test. Good luck.
