for the past few days, my left foot, toes, & leg have been aching. its freaking me out because when i google it, it says i have diabetes but i dont have any common sympotoms of diabetes such as frequesnt urinatation, hunger, & thirst. im 18 and im not overweight, in fact, im a bit on the small scale. i do have to note that i have slight scolosis and i tend to put all my weight on my left side (the side that aches) and sometime my butt (left side) has slight pains (sciatica??) but im worried sick that i have diabetes! someone please give me some advice. i have horrible health anxiety btw and convince myself that i have every possible disease
i do need to add that i tippy toe A LOT so maybe that has something to do with this? and im always in sandals or flipflips, never tennis shoes
Diabetes does not always affect fat people, although I doubt you have it. The simplest way to find out is to have your blood sugar levels tested, which is some of the simplest and cheapest blood tests. I very much doubt you’re in the diabetes stage when you have body pains because of it, you would have found out by now.
Don’t you have old people around? Some of them have blood sugar test instruments around the house and they could help you.
I am a Pensioner and both I and my Wife have diabetes 2, if you are worried about this talk to your GP and explain in Surgery. You are best to put your mind at rest.
However you suffer Anxiety, you need to understand that condition and how it effects your health.
