I think I might have diabetes. I'm going to go to the doctor real soon. Until then I have a question i'd like answered. Can anyone tell me, that has type 1 diabetes, what lead you to believe you have it, like i researched a little bit and most of the things said alot of time people get had an illness of some sort that triggered it or something. Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry about the bad grammar and punctuation.

hey!
i have type one diabeties,
im fifteen =)

diabeties is an autoimmune disorder. This is when the body's immune system behaves inappropriately and starts seeing one of it's own tissues as foreign. In the case of Type 1 Diabetes, the islet cells of the pancreas that produce insulin are seen as the "enemy" by mistake.

before i was diagnosed i had
- rapid weight loss (10kg's in one month, roughly 23 lbs)
-increased thurst
-despressed
-extream hunger
-sweet breath (glucose in saliva)
-had to do wee's all the time after dinner and meals
