Because the symptoms are something that so many people can have one or two of it is easy to obsess over. I mean who doesn't get thirsty and tired and go to the loo alot sometimes! I'm not trying to belittle your fear at all, i went through a stage of worrying about it because i was thirsty. I'm always thirsty because i hate drinking water, so much so that i've ended up in hospital because i have kidney problems which get worse when i don't drink...
Anyway my point was: I guess it depends on why you think you have it, you can always go to a pharmacy or your GP and ask them to test your blood sugar, but then once you realised it wasn't that would you find something else? Its a horrible cycle isn't i!
oh yes every day of my life for the past four years
you are not alone, just look in the phobia section in a post entitled fear of death, or in the health anxiety part
it will not take it away, but it does help to know you are not alone
take care

April,
Its very easily tested for. Have you discussed this with your doctor ?

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
How big is your gallery ?

i think i have all the time, but i had blood tests done a few months ago and nothing showed up i think im feeling how i am because of the anxiety i do feel lightheaded and weak and i think thats cause i aint got enough sugar but if i had diabetes and ive been feeling the same for 6 months surely something would of happened. hang in there xx
Yes you would have been checked very regularly during your pregnancy

You can walk in our local Lloyds Pharmacy and get a test done there and then. Maybe worth doing it to reassure you.

The thing is that it can be dangerous if left untreated so you would be better off knowing.
