Message: <blockquote data-quote="HSSS" data-source="post: 1898052" data-attributes="member: 480869">I’d agree with all  the above but would add the caution of many T2 are diagnosed with few or no symptoms. I only had tiredness (overwhelming I admit) as a symptom.  Don’t be terrified, but be appropriately cautious. Try losing a little weight (ideally by cutting some of the worst carbs) and see how you feel. If that doesn’t need help or you’re still concerned pop to your gp and ask for an mot which includes a diabetes check. At 19 yrs T2 isn’t unheard of but less common unless your lifestyle/weight really needs improvement. If that does apply making those changes now will only benefit regardless  of diabetes diagnosis. T1 tends to manifest quite quickly (weeks not years) at your age from my understanding.</blockquote>
