! Urgent !

recently i posted a lot of threads about my insecurities, and depression, etc. but if you could help me on this i would really appreicate it;
1- do you know any online dr's
2- what are the symptoms of diabetes, insomnia, and depression

my mums worried about the diabetes prob-cos im related to someone with it and im constantly exausted.(but oddly- only when iv had a full nights sleep)
my friends think its insomnia- cos i cant sleep til 3am, get up at 6. but sometimes i do sleep normally.
i think it mioght just be depression- cos i feel like theres no point, and whenever i eat, i hav to force it down and then i feel really sick after.

thanx. im sorry iv been bugging you about this its just really starting to worry me...but thanx for any help you can giv me...and im just gona shut up and go away now...sorry...

try here its the NHS's own online doctoring website.

just bear in mind that its always best to go and see them face to face.

diabetes requires a blood test anyway and nobody can auth one but your GP.

get well soon :biggrin:
Go to your GP and they'll test your urine to tell you if you've got diabetes. It is actually a reasonably straight-forward test you can do on yourself in a school chem lab but your GP's results will be more reliable. If I remember correctly you get benedict's solution and mix it with your piss and if there's glucose in there you'll get a red-brown precipitate forming. You can easily nick benedict's solution from a school lab if you're on good terms witha chem teacher.

Couldn't you do an even more basic test of just seeing how sweet your urine tastes, like doctors used to do?
if u r always tired, might be aneamia? (dono about spelling, low iron levels)
just see the doc. are u sleeping enough?

might be ME, the tiredness illness?
hrmn, I've got diabetes...
Im not a great expert but I dont think being related to someone with it will increase your chances much, as if you had the type you are born with you'd probably have been indentified as having it from a far younger age like as a very young child, and the other type you get through your diet not your genes as far as I understand it.
I was diagnosed because I constantly felt like I had colds and the flu, and thought it would be aenemia or just poor diet, but they found I was diabetic. Its definately worth a test, because you can be putting yourself at risk by continuing to eat sugar if this was the case.

Is there any reason you don't want to see a doctor? They'll only try and help you and they're used to people not wanting to see them

im sorry but u dont know what insomnia is.... at least not compared to what i do???

throughout uni at least in first term... clubbin most days till 4/5 and get up for lectures at 8.30,

and this easter my sleep patterns f-ed up so much that i ended up waking at 6pm and going to sleep at about 10am for a few days in each week... and i dont even think this is related to insomnia at all.... sleep has been quite disturbed tho.. only 2/3hour chunks.. so i dont think u got insomnia.. unless uve been awake for more than 48 or 72hrs.. and still not even feeling tired
