Hi! I'm 18 and for the last couple of days my hips and shoulders have been fairly sore. I do exercise but not in a way that my shoulders should be sore or for how sore my hips have been. I have also been experiencing some slight tingling in my hands, but mostly only when im thinking about it. I looked both up and read that they were symptoms of diabetes. I'm not experiencing any other of the symptoms I read about online but I am a bit overweight and both my grandpa and uncle have type 2 diabetes. should I be concerned?
The symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst, frequent urination, rapid weight loss (for Type 1) and extreme tiredness.
Sore hips and shoulders sound more like overuse or sleeping awkwardly. They're not symptoms of diabetes.
So no, I don't think,you should be concerned that your hips/shoulders mean you have diabetes.
However, if you're concerned your weight and family history may put you at higher risk of diabetes, then you could,talk to,your GP or practice nurse for reassurance.
Far better to see a proper doctor than 'Dr Google'. Dr Google will tell you that a simple headache is a brain tumour when it's actually
