      I’m pretty sure this is a troll account. Personally, I’m blocking it because I keep seeing these kinds of troll posts from this account popping up all over the place.

    As a sufferer of illness anxiety disorder, what you’re describing sounds a lot like the thought processes I went through before seeking therapy for it.

    You’ve described very little evidence indicating you have diabetes, but a ton of evidence indicating you have illness anxiety disorder. I am not a doctor and cannot diagnose you, but my suggestion is to talk to a professional who can.

    • see a therapist, suicidal thoughts should be treated seriously
    • if you’re worried about sugar in your diet, stop eating sugar
    • if you’re worried about diabetes, get a glucose meter and measure your blood periodically.

    Calm down. Eating high sugar food is not healty but it doesn’t make you automatically diabetic. It takes years if not decades. What makes you think that you are diabetic? Did you test your blood glucose? How old are you? (If you are comfortable sharing)

        I don’t think you are diabetic. It’s possible for anyone to get high sugar level from eating alot of sugar . If you where diabetic you would get symptoms similar to someone really high on opium or being drunk from having too high or too low sugar levels .

    Having the fear of having imaginary disease is called being hypochondriac, the good new is that it’s a legit medical condition. Have a talk with your doctor about it rather than with Internet strangers

    So, judging from the “sugar” thing you seem to think you might have developed type 2 diabetes. Do you have any symptoms at all that would support that? It’s very unlikely you’d develop that at the age of 20.

    Also, just a note, type 2 is caused by many factors but people are very confused about the “sugar” thing because eating any carbohydrate is the equivalent of sugar. You can view foods like rice, potato or corn as basically sugar, as vegetable starch is just a chain of glucose molecules.

    If you feel like you’ve eaten too much sugar, drink plenty of water. Like a pint or so, not loads over a long time but a decent amount to literally water down the sugar. Water is also used in many of the biochemical processes so it helps metabolism.

    If you’ve been tested and it’s come back negative, then you’re not diabetic. That doesn’t mean you can’t become diabetic later in life, but you’re not going to be needing insulin shots or anything like that.
