For the past week, 2 days i felt weak and tired, with no appetite. On one of those days the tiredness went off after playing some sports.
I get occasional tingling, but on very small areas of my feet or hands, most of the time feet. These tingling only lasts for about less than 5 seconds.
No weight loss or gain. By the way, i’m 14 and underweight. My grandmother had diabetes.
I’m not feeling extra thirsty or hungry, but at night i usually have to pee 2 or 3 times in the few hours before going to bed.
Also, i just recovered from diarrhea a 2 weeks ago or so.
I think i’m just being overly paranoid, but i’m still scared.
Also, reading online, i read that tiredness can be caused by anxiety, and i normally feel tired when i’m thinking about the possibility of diabetes. The more scared i am, the worse it gets.

I’m 19, my father was diagnosed with diabetes when he was 22
I have never worried much about it .. I know this isn’t a security, but i’m tall and slender, was in sports so I felt healthy
I had a kidney condition, it messed with my blood pressure a bit .. I had passed out once at work from it
But have since had surgery and seems to have been successful
in the past month i’ve had two episodes while i’m working where I suddenly get really shaky, a little bit of tunnel vision, a heat flash, a light headed ..
from what i’ve read this sounds like hypoglycemia, but it’s similar to the feeling of when I passed out from the kidney thing
could this just be something common, maybe from not having enough for breakfast?
I guess i’m not starting to worry about diabetes being in my family and that this may be a warning sign …
what should I do?

I have 3 question about diabetes, that I reall need help with:
1. In diabetics (well in any person), can microaneurysms in the eye can be reversed or improved?
2. How can someone who usually have fluctuationg blood sugars obtain normoglycemia, and is there any medication (beside insulin or the insulin pump) that can help with that?
3. If someone who is very active (sports, dance, etc), has the type of blood sugars that is better suited for an insulin pump, is there any other alternative option besides the pump that does the same thing, but
dosent have the big bulky equipment that is required to be carried around for it to work?
Thank You
