    Frequent urination and numbness in the extremities are classic signs of diabetes. However, the only way to truly tell is through a blood test. Go to your doctor.

    If your blood test comes back normal, please continue to pursue this. There are many other diagnoses that can cause these symptoms also.

    My girlfriend had pain in her feet that multiple doctors assumed was from diabetic neuropathy. She never tested positive for diabetes. It turned out that she was overdosing on B vitamins and ultimately caused permanent nerve damage that would not have been so bad if she had been diagnosed earlier.

    Right before i got diagnosed with Diabetes my symptoms were Extreme Thirst, Frequent urination, i lost 20 lbs. (i was already a small chile, i was 10 years old), throwing up, kind of a sick sweet smell coming out of your pores (if your blood sugar is really high) and being really tired. I know that i had absolutly no energy and i was so sluggish that i didnt have the energy to be irritated.
    I suggest that you set up an appointment with your doctor and ask them if they could check you for diabetes just in case. Better to do it sooner than later. I took a really long time for my doctor to figure out what was wrong with me. I was in a diabetic comma for 3 days after they finally diagnosed me
