question about diabetes?

Could you give me any opinion on that? Other than the very bad dry skin problems on my entire
back and the butt, I have no other conditions associated with diabetes.

On the off chance you're not a troll, please get to a doctor and get an A1c test. Usenet is no place
to go for a diagnosis.

Hi, how are you? I have been wondering whether or not I have diabetes. I have been bothered by a
severe dry skin problem in the past few years. I have a history of over eating, and extreme
inactivity. The dry skin started to develop about 1 year ago. I went to see a doctor, and he said
that it is not a fungus. He basically did not know what it is, and I stopped seeing him
afterwards. I am 25 years old, and I have never had trouble with my weight even though I have a
tendency to eat until I feel ill. My life has been a little stressful, and I have been eaten a lot
in order to feel better. I am beginning to wonder if the reason why I hadn't gained weight is
because I have had diabetes. I have heard that doing a proper exercise is a great way to combat
against diabetes, but if I know approximately how long it takes before the effect shows up, I can
do some exercise for a while, and see if my dry skin problem would go away. Could you give me any
opinion on that? Other than the very bad dry skin problems on my entire back and the butt, I have
no other conditions associated with diabetes. Thank you, and have a good day.

Your symptoms could be due to a thyroid problem. But there is no way of telling if it is that,
diabetes, or something else unless you go to a Dr.

it is real easy to see if you are diabetic get your BG checked

as to your dry skin - try skin lotion, and, if it still bothers you, see a dermatologist.

You have not said ANYTHING which would indicate diabetes
