Hi all,
I’m posting here as I have growing concern that I may have diabetes type 2. I have scheduled an appointment for tomorrow with my GP but I wanted to ask here as I have got myself so worried about it.
I’m a 21 year old female, and I am classed as ‘obese’ by BMI, although I wouldn’t say I was obese, rather just overweight, I am also not very active. Recently I’ve been having symptoms such as excessive hunger (I’ve always had this but it went away when I started dieting, but since I stopped my hunger pains have got so painful), I also have been going to the toilet more frequently & I have in the last 4 days been experiencing ‘burning feet’ which I did not realise was a symptom of diabetes until I googled it. I wanted to know whether anyone else thinks this is a possible risk of me having diabetes? None of my close family have it but I have a grandparent who does have it, and all of my mothers side of the family have been overweight most their lives. This has been making me worry so much, because I’m only young & I have been making changes to my diet & have lost a stone so far
