1.) How frequent does a diabetic drink in an hour? A day?

2.) How frequent does a diabetic urinate?

3.) How often does a diabetic get hungry? How much food does he/she diabetic intake?

4.) If a person is thin and does not loose weight, but experiences some Symptoms of Diabetes, would it still be possible for that person to have diabetes?

5.) How long would it take for the wounds of a diabetic to heal? Would it be possible that it wouldn’t heal?

6.) Can a diabetic feel tired or unwell even if he/she does nothing? How much work can a diabetic do before he/she gets tired?

7.) What does "sudden" vision changes mean?

8.) Does a person have to have all the symptoms before he/she is pronounced to have diabetes? If not, what are the main symptoms?

These are all my concerns about diabetes. It would be better if your answer/s rely on other’s or your experience/s.

P.S.
I have read the symptoms at this site:
http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/faq/basics.htm#2

1 and 2 depend’s on the diabetic’s level. As it goes up they increase with me but also i have heard with other’s when it goes down the same thing happen’s

3 it really depend’s on the age, it’s pretty much normal. But i have heard that high’s and Low’s will affect them, but not with me.

4 Not sure how this relate’s….. High’s can effect Weight. I used to wake up at 400 and vomit and lost way too much weight and went down to about 60 Pound’s at ( year’s of age

5 Same thing, High’s can make it harder for wound’s to heal. It has really never happened to me

6 Yes when i get High, I cannot run as much without getting more tired. When i get low i feel very vauge and tired or limp from the Low sign’s. But mostly it’s normal what a Diabetic can do campaired to a normal person

7 This happened to me i was 20/20 and my diabetie’s got out of control i went back because i was having trouble seeing and it went down to 20/60 or something like that.

8 No, not all of the symptom’s at all, some may show but not all of them. Some symptom’s are……

Shakyness
Feeling Limp or Tired
Major Thirst
Hungry all the time
Peeing Alot
Being mean/Uritible ( SP? )
"Fruity breath"
Major Head aches
That’s all i can think of, Hope i can help :)

    from my own experience, before being diagnose with diabetes, I’ll answer what happened to me,
    1. i drank a can of soda every 2-3 hours
    2. about every 15-20 minutes
    3. i ate a small bf, no lunch, med dinner, no snacks in between meals
    4. don’t matter if you’re thin or heavy, you can still have diabetes, i weight 200lbs before height 6 foot, dropped to 170 lbs because of al the urinating, after 3 years now weight back up to 180lbs
    5. don’t know, never had a wound
    6. i didn’t have that problem
    7. i developed blurred vision overnight, could hardly see for more than a week, also developed cataract’s in both eyes already had one lens implant
    8. i had no symptoms until one day i started peeing more often
    you didn’t ask but the best way to control or getting type 2 diabetes is to watch suger and carohydrates intake, read the lables and quit drinking regular soft drinks, sports drinks, stop eating junk foods like donuts,candy, regular ice cream

    It can get so bad that your feet will become permanently numb, your kidneys will stop working and you will feel so tired you won’t get out of bed.
