Hi,

I have just found this forum and am in need of some advice

The last couple of weeks weeks I have been getting very tired, so tired that I feel absolutely exhausted and sometimes this is only about lunchtime -The last three days it has been getting much worse and when I got up this morning I went into the bathroom and next minute found myself lying on the floor without realising how I had got there

I have also been getting very dry lips which also has a crack in and feel very thirsty all the time and have to go to the toilet a lot

I am only 20 years old (Male) and do smoke, but have been smoking for two years and only recently been getting these symptons (Yes I need to quit!)

I was talking to someone today and they told me that these sound like they could by symptons of type 2 diabetes

Is this true?

Many Thanks

EDIT: Forgot to say, am not obese am an average weight-If anything have probably lost a bit the last few months instead of putting weight on!
 
Welcome to the forum :) No-one can diagnose on the forum so you must see your doctor. Good luck!
 
Hi there and welcome. I agree, get to your doc soon and take a urine sample with you as they are almost bound to want one. You may be worrying about nothing but best to get checked out.
 
Piggy, you need to go along and see your gp for a full check-up asap, try ringing your surgery now or go along to a nhs drop-in centre, but please don't delay!
