Hi, I've had low blood sugar in the past and I looked up the symptoms for diabetes and I have:
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Just wondering if the sypmtoms are the same, or if my low blood sugar could eventually lead to something else. Or maybe I'm just paranoid, lol.
I'm a young teen if that helps.

Diabetes and low blood sugar are totally opposite of each other, but it is very common for a diabetic to have bouts of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) when they take too much insulin, don't eat when they should, and a variety of other reasons. Low blood sugar can cause nausea, sweating, shakiness, confusion, passing out, coma and even death. Many people that were hypoglycemic for many years find themselves being diagnosed with diabetes later on. Seems like for some (me included) that hypoglycemia can be a prelude to diabetes. You do have some symptoms of diabetes and you should be checked by a doctor to be sure. A person can be hypoglycemic and not have diabetes. My husband has had it most of his life and some times it is very bad, and he can have multiple low blood sugar episodes a day if he isn't careful to eat like he should. Here are some more of the most common symptoms of diabetes. They are symptoms for both types of diabetes.
Constant thirst
Frequent urination
Constant hunger
Irritability
Blurry vision
Itching skin with no rash
Reoccurring yeast infections in women, itching penis in men
Frequent boils
Leg cramps
Burning tingling sensation in hands, feet, arms, or legs
Slow healing wounds
Headaches
Nausea or vomiting
