Should I get checked for diabetes?

    I've been peeing a lot and drinking more.

    It's happened before from time to time where I get really thirsty then pee a lot and
    it goes away after a few days though.

    I was really really tired today. I was awake for 24 hours straight and then fell asleep at 2 in the morning and woke up at 1 in the afternoon. Then I fell asleep from 7 in the evening until 12 and am still tired (It's 1:19 now)

    I was thinking maybe I slept a lot because my body was making up for missed sleep? Not to mention I walked around New York City on the day that I stayed up the whole night.

    No one in my family has diabetes except for my aunt but she also has cystic fibrosis.

    I know all those symptoms are diabetes symptoms.
    Maybe I'm just being a hypochondriac but I wanna be sure.

    I had the same symptoms. Please have your blood sugar level checked. I'm Type 2. I know what I'm talking about.

    All Americans should get checked for diabetes.

    I see nothing unusual from your question. If you can sleep that long without peeing ,I'd say you are fine. But to ease your mind you could get a checkup. Usually you would have many symptomsthan what you describe. You usually will pee a lot if blood sugar get over 180..

    Cyberchondria is a colloquial term for hypochondria in individuals who have researched medical conditions on the Internet. The media and the Internet often contribute to hypochondria, as articles, TV shows and advertisements regarding serious illnesses such as cancer and multiple sclerosis (some of the common diseases hypochondriacs think they have) often portray these diseases as being random, obscure and somewhat inevitable. Inaccurate portrayal of risk and the identification of non-specific symptoms as signs of serious illness contribute to exacerbating the hypochondriac’s fear that they actually have that illness.
