If you think you may have diabetes, you should go to the doctor immediately.

To check for Type One, they would probably run a test for the antibodies, check for ketones, test your current and fasting BG levels, etc...

For Type Two, the main indicator is if your fasting BG is higher than it should be (about 80 to 120 mg/mmol).

Good luck, and please get to the doctor ASAP. A delay in diagnosis could make you very very sick.

"For the first time
in a long time,
I can say that I wanna try.
I feel helpless for the most part,
but I'm learning to open my eyes.
And the sad truth of the matter is,
I'll never get over it,
but I'm gonna try
to get better and overcome each moment
in my own way"
