I'm 14... I'm 5'8 and I weigh 115 pounds.... I think I have most of the symptoms....
Such as:
dizziness and daily blackouts
get tired easly
sweat alot in my palms
I lost two pounds
and I eat a lot of sweets
I'm worried about this and i convinced my mom to take me to a doctor...but am I being paranoid for something I might not even have??? Any advise?!?
It depends, you should really go to the doctor just to be safe and get your blood glucose levels tested and all that stuff because diabetes is pretty serious. A big factor is genetics, if it doesn't run in your family your chances aren't very high that it's diabetes.
You're missing some of the more important symptoms, so doesn't sound like diabetes to me. Your list is pretty vague and some symptoms fit mild anemia. Have your glucose levels checked if you are really concerned.
The best thing to do is let you doctor do a glucose tolerance test or a A1C Test, because if you are diabetic you need treatment promptly!
dizziness and daily blackouts. I'm diabetic and I start to get that when my sugar is low.
and I eat a lot of sweets. Not a good idea unless you know what type Diabetes you have. Some can't eat sweets because it raises their sugar level and some can't get enough sugar and eat ton of candy.

Only way to know is to get tested. Know for sure this stuff is bad if not keep under control.
You really should go speak with your doctor. The only real way to find out is to be tested.
