symptoms of diabetes, if you have it and haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes, can the symptoms go away?

Recently i’ve been feeling very tired and my extremity are tingling, I have athletes foot, and I feel sometimes that I am thirsty all the time, some of the most common symptoms of diabetes. I haven’t been diagnosed with diabetes or anything, and my athlete’s foot has been with me way before all the other things happened. Is there a high chance that I will have diabetes? Can this symptoms go away? What should I do?

    Jonathan G is right. Doctor, doctor, doctor. Yes, please see a doctor and have yourself examined and request also for a blood test to determine whether you have diabetes or not. For your peace of mind and health, please go see a doctor now. Good luck to you.

    They don’t go away, they get worse.
    Diabetes is a serious thing. There is something wicked wrong with your body, that will not change and will not going away. Everyone who has diabetes will take it to the grave. There is no cure.

    Get checked, learn to take care of yourself and live a good life.

    You may be borderline diabetic with insulin production reduced, if so you can probably manage the diabetes with diet. A blood test (tiny pinprick in your finger) or better still a series of tests done by your doctor, nurse (or some pharmacies for a small fee) will indicate if this is the cause. You don’t mention if you are overweight but if so diabetes is more common in overweight people and as well as drinking a lot, (hopefully water and not sugary sweet drinks as these will make it worse) do you need to urinate a lot? Diabetes may be genetic, has anyone else in your family history been diagnosed with it? I’m not sure of the athletes foot as an indicator although diabetics are more prone to picking up other infections. You might try Tea Tree oil on that twice a day after washing the area. Basically see your Dr.

    You’ll need to go to the doc to have those symptoms looked at - if it is diabetes and is well controlled the symptoms should go away
