I’m about 15 lb. overweight for my height, and I am worried I might be diabetic. My Dad has type 2 diabetes, so I’m really freaked out. Here are the symptoms I’ve experienced:

1. Not getting full no matter how much I eat–But this has changed in the past couple of weeks and now I have very little appetite.

2. Bad vision–I never needed glasses before in my life (I am 24), but last summer I needed glasses. Of course, this could also be explained by the fact that bad vision runs in my family.

3. Fatigue.

I know that symptoms 1 and 2 may be explained by the fact that I only just graduated from grad school and I’ve been under a lot of stress lately, but I am worried. I don’t have enough money to go to the doctor for testing. Where can I find diabetic testing strips, and do I need a prescription to get them?
I also have problems with my gums bleeding, but I’ve had that problem pretty much all my life due to not flossing regularly (I do it about 3-5x a week now and I know I need to do better).
