Two pepperoni slices
One tossed salad
One hamburger from Wendys.

Dude I was so hungry I don't understand. I think it might be diabetes. I'm gonna go get myself checked out.

I was hungry to the point I felt really weak and kinda needed to eat something, badly.

So I'm gonna go in for a blood test tomorrow. Would jumping on the band wagon and performing the Atkins diet help me? I believe it is all the carbs that overload the body with insulin.

Any ideas? Anyone here have Type 2 diabetes? How are you dealing with it? What do you eat and what don't you eat?

The thing I'd also like to mention is that I haven't dropped a pound lol. I just stay at my weight or gain some.

Uh, I get hungry all the time and when I'm hungry I can eat like nuts. I really don't think it's diabetes :) You'd need a lot more signs than "Damn I was hungry and ate a lot and was still hungry!"

Haha, because you were hungry! I think you're a hypochondriac. Generally if an adult gets diabetes it's Type II, and occurs favorably in fatsos who have destroyed their body's sensitivity to insulin.

I didn't get dizzy but just felt weak as hell. Also I DRINK a lot so I pee a lot. If I don't drink anything I do not pee anything. But isn't it normal if you drink tons of water that you're gonna be peeing quite a lot?

I have one of those water things you know the ones that make the water cold instantly? I think they come in huge couple gallons. I can down an entire bottle in like a week. So I drink a lot of water.

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.

I really hope this isnt a joke thread...diabetes is nothing to joke about.

Like others have said, swing by the doctors to get your blood sugar tested, its a for sure way to find out. Early symptoms of diabetes include: drinking alot and peeing alot. Not just 6-8 glasses of water a day, more like 6-8 an hour with as many trips to the bathroom. Vomitting is the next symptom, then comes the dizzyness/lightheadness. Next up would be coma.

Go to the doctor.
