Have been -
Thirsty with a dry mouth
Very tired
Unusual feeling of hunger
Temperature
Sore throat
So the last two could be an infection but I really feel very weird. Maybe could be a viral illness.
Thoughts anyone?

When was the last time you had blood tests? If it was a long time ago, then maybe itâs time to visit the doc. Itâs a pain to go, but it could put your mind at rest.
Do you have anyone that could drive you?

Cool. Thanks @sleepybug - it did come on over the course of two days so must be a bug. J

If itâs type 2 diabetes youâll just have to manage your blood sugar by watching what you eat, and getting enough exercise.
The trick is to not eliminate foods, but to eat a variety of them.
You can eat all foods, just not in the quantity you want.
Life moves on.
Take care of your body the best you are able regardless of what âconditionâ you have, because itâs the only body you get to live in.

Was blood tested 6 weeks ago. Blood sugar was fine. Parents can drive me to the gp if need be. Like @sleepybug says diabetes doesnât come on in a couple of days.

Cool - my partner has it and it started gradually. at first it is just a tiny bit high - then he had to start medication in a year or so.

I grew up watching my cousin take shots, she had it by age 7. It definitely doesnât come on in a few days, but it can be manageable if you get it.
Worrying is helpful, but not in excess, it can do more stress to your body than itâs worth.
Think quality, not quantity.

I remember one thing that I did when I thought I had diabetes was to taste my urine. Apparently if you have diabetes it tastes sweet. Tastes disgusting though.
