I tried to match up my symptoms with the real diabetes symptoms and heres what they are:
bad diet
lack of excersise
frequent urination
frequent thirst
frequent hunger
rapid heart beat
fatigue
irritable (grouchy)
cramps in body or feeling tingling sensations, numbness (my left leg sometimes)
I may be just over reacting though, but does anyone think I should be worried about this? Or do you think it could be something else?

the first two are contributing factors not symptoms, the following two are reasons to get a doctor to check you for diabetes, the rest are often symptoms of many physical ailments linked with the first two things on your list
Frequent urination and numbness in the extremities are classic signs of diabetes. However, the only way to truly tell is through a blood test. Go to your doctor.
If your blood test comes back normal, please continue to pursue this. There are many other diagnoses that can cause these symptoms also.
My girlfriend had pain in her feet that multiple doctors assumed was from diabetic neuropathy. She never tested positive for diabetes. It turned out that she was overdosing on B vitamins and ultimately caused permanent nerve damage that would not have been so bad if she had been diagnosed earlier.
4 of them that you listed are some of the syndroms. i think you should go checked out by the doctor. it looks pretty serious.
yach….all you say are diabetes symptoms, but there are many important factor genetic/hystory family with diabetes and obesity……to make sure try to check your blood glucose….., about the symptoms you can see more in
Right before i got diagnosed with Diabetes my symptoms were Extreme Thirst, Frequent urination, i lost 20 lbs. (i was already a small chile, i was 10 years old), throwing up, kind of a sick sweet smell coming out of your pores (if your blood sugar is really high) and being really tired. I know that i had absolutly no energy and i was so sluggish that i didnt have the energy to be irritated.
I suggest that you set up an appointment with your doctor and ask them if they could check you for diabetes just in case. Better to do it sooner than later. I took a really long time for my doctor to figure out what was wrong with me. I was in a diabetic comma for 3 days after they finally diagnosed me
