Default im having weird symptoms..could it be diabetes or something else?

im always thirsty, hungry, pee-ing everytime i go into the bathroom , tired,moody i get frequent headaches that cause me to have very blurry vision and a tingly feeling in my hands/fingers
im a lil overweight but i look fit (i have muscles bc of the sports i play)
im 5'2 and 135 and almost 17 and no it doesnt hurt to pee lol yeah im deff. not preg ..is there a way i can tell if im diabetic without haveing to buy anything or go to the doc. i want to keep this hidden until im sure that i have it b4 i assume and tell my parents also my back aches and my heels on my feet are sore but i think thats because i stand so much in one day and i also get dizzy where i start to see spots

well ive told my parents but they wont take me seriously they said they will take me in sept.. i have no reason why in sept but thats it but if i got valid concrete proff then they willl have to take me

You do have symptoms of diabetes. It's tough to be taken seriously as a teenager. I get that.

Untreated diabetes can lead to ketoacidosis. You sound like you have a gut feeling about this, and you do have plenty of symptoms. So do this, test your own ketones. They're non-prescription urine test strips and they should be negative. If you're newly diabetic, they'll be through the roof. Go back to your mom and show her the dipstick results.

Some may recommend checking your sugar with a friend's meter, but the problem with that is that there's too much to consider when reading the results. It matters when you last ate, what it was, what time of day it is now, etc. You're not seasoned enough to consider all the variables.

you want to keep it hidden? are you that stupid? it isn't like you have syphillis for pete's sake... the only way to know if it is diabetes is thru a blood test, get your butt to a doctor and get tested.
