My family has a history of Type1 diabetes so I test my blood sugar and ketones often. My blood sugar is normal(non-diabetic) but suddenly my ketone urinalysis is showing "trace" to "small" results. Are there any medications that could this? I’m taking several for acid reflux. Could it be stress? Lack of sleep? Vitamins, minerals, etc…. I opened this box two weeks ago, the expiration date is still a year away.

I think I display most of the classic symptoms of diabetes..I’m tired, very pale, thirsty (I carry a water bottle with me most of the time), my legs ache and I urinate almost every hour. I managed to get some urine strips and checked….but no sugar in urine. Could I still be diabetic?
I fainted a month ago and was referred to a neurologist and told to get a blood test done. I should get the test results (fasting glucose was one of them) within the week, but I’m a college student and really, really want to know what is going on…I can barely work. I can’t really concentrate. My dad thinks it could be just stress, but I feel pretty ill.
I should also add that I just had a pretty heavy period, so that could explain some of the symptoms, but not all I think…
Any ideas???
I’m 20 and thin.

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).
