From all indications, your symptoms appear to be that of a diabetes. Anyway, after a full blood chemistry and confirmation from your doctor, he would recommend treatment. Your doctor would probably recommend the so-called MED system. This is simply a combo of Medication, Exercise and Diet. If you follow MED closely, you could probably control diabetes in a good manner with a fool-proof system. Good luck to you and God bless.<br><b>References : </b><br> If your sister is a diabetic Type 1, then the probability is that you could also get the disease due to heredity.

BUT with type one diabetes when you are in the honey moon stages where you pancreas still creates some insulin on it's own you lose lots of weight I looked anorexic and like you I couldn't gain ANY weight if i tried hard! Headaches could be low blood sugar. The reason why your doctor most likely hasn't checked you already is because you haven't stated you are thirsty all the time and peeing like crazy! Like every other person on here since your sister has it already you are at a higher risk of course but if you live with her or she is close have her poke your finger if you are in the higher 100s range then get the hospital miss! I hope you don't have it because it is a gigantic pain in the butt!<br><b>References : </b><br> Alright so when I was diagnosed with type one diabetes I was always thirsty not really ever hungry……so I am slightly thrown off by you always being hungry.

If your fasting blood glucose level is from 100mg/dl to 125mg/dl then you will have impaired blood glucose level also known as Pre-Diabetes. If your blood glucose level is above 125mg/dl then your doctor will diagnose as a patient of diabetes. To confirm the diagnosis, your doctor may repeat the fasting blood glucose test on any other day. If you have blood glucose level of 126mg/dl or higher in two consecutive tests, then you may have diabetes. If you have blood glucose level greater than 200mg/dl and you have symptoms of diabetes like increased thirst or hunger, frequent urination, weight loss, blurred vision etc, then you may be diagnosed with diabetes mellitus without confirming it with second test.

Random Blood Glucose Test:
Random blood Glucose test gives your blood sugar at any time in a day. Normal random blood sugar level should be less than 200mg/dl. If your random blood glucose level is between 140mg/dl to 200mg/dl then you will have pre-diabetes.
