Just go to the doctor and get a blood test. Just make sure you fast for 12 hours before the blood test, so that your doctor can get an accurate reading of your fasting blood sugar. You'll also get a hemoglobin A1C test, which measures your blood sugar over the last few months.
 
excessive thirst,weight loss,frequent boils and other infections are other indicators of diabetes.
 
Extreme hunger is not a sign of diabetes, a tape worm perhaps, but not diabetes.

But like everyone else said, it doesn't hurt to get tested anyway.

Does it sound like it could be diabetes?

My friend became diabetic last year. He was no longer able to eat solids after a couple of days and felt very dehydrated. His skin became very dry and mouth became very dry.

Get some keytone test strips. If you pee on it and test positive then you have diabetes(unless you are on the atkins diet, which you said you weren't). Diabetes symptoms.

Either that or you can buy a little kit from Walmart for like 40 bucks. Mother-in-law had diabetes so I got one for the Mrs.
