No sugar in urine.diabetic?

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008
Emma asked:


I think I display most of the classic symptoms of diabetes..I’m tired, very pale, thirsty (I carry a water bottle with me most of the time), my legs ache and I urinate almost every hour. I managed to get some urine strips and checked….but no sugar in urine. Could I still be diabetic?

I fainted a month ago and was referred to a neurologist and told to get a blood test done. I should get the test results (fasting glucose was one of them) within the week, but I’m a college student and really, really want to know what is going on…I can barely work. I can’t really concentrate. My dad thinks it could be just stress, but I feel pretty ill.

I should also add that I just had a pretty heavy period, so that could explain some of the symptoms, but not all I think…

Any ideas???
I’m 20 and thin.
