Default Are these diabetes symptoms?

I've started eating healthy recently which cuts out pretty much all sugars I get (candy, junk food...etc) and now I'm constantly feeling tired, going to bed early, having trouble waking up, and get more frequent and more painful headaches.

Are these symptoms of diabetes? At one point I was drinking orange juice each morning, but because of my acid reflux, I stopped. When I was drinking it, I felt great. I had more energy and it made me feel outstanding.

Any ideas, opinions, experiences would be great.

Thanks!

do you feel thirsty all the time? do you have to urinate frequently? are you tired all the time? do you get mad or irritable easily? these are all symptoms of diabetes. and with a fever that high you should see the doctor anyway and ask for a blood glucose test while you`re there.

Running a fever is not a sign of being a diabetic. You could have a virus or some type of infection. go see your doctor and if diabetes runs in the family, have a regular check up and testing for it.

There are also some things your doctor may test for like mon, Epstein-Barr virus and the like.

Don't get paranoid, go see your doctor.

no, those are not symptoms of diabetes, they are symptoms of inadequate nutrition, cutting out sugars is a good thing, but I suspect you have also cut out other things that you need. Suggest you supplement yourself with B-12, 1000mg daily. Be sure to get the kind that melts in your mouth so you absorb the B-12 directly, as stomach acids will destroy B-12.

First, you should not cut out all sugars, as your body needs them for energy. You only need to reduce sugar WHEN diagnosed by a medical doctor, NOT someone on YA!

See a doctor before you make drastic changes in your diet, please.

Diabetes doesn't usually have VISIBLE symptoms, until it reaches the last stages. I mean it's called the "silent" killer. It damages your organs, until they fail.

You have to have a blood test, to determine diabetes, and when your sugar count is over 140 on two or more consecutive readings, then it's a good sign you have diabetes.

When a diabetic has a sugar count of less than 80, they often feel faint, and can pass out. A non-diabetic usually can produce extra sugar and not get such a low sugar count, but they need a healthy diet to maintain their normals body energy levels.

Sugar in blood problems occurs for diabetics because they do not produce enough insulin to help digest and use the sugar in your blood stream.

When you eat carbohydrates, these are turned into sugar too. So, you control the amount of sugar in your blood, by reducing carbs, as well as sugar, to maintain a sugar count between 80 and 120.

This is why people with diabetes stick themselves with a needle and carry a monitor to measure the blood count several times a day.

You might have a low blood sugar which has shown up like a withdrawal symptom from lack of your carbohydrate fix.
Try a smoothie in the morning made from something less acidic and see how it goes.
Better get to see a doctor for a blood test just to be on the safe side.
