Diabetes (sp)..what are the signs?

[StrawberryMoon]

my mum has it, but unsure of what level however im told it can be passed on through genes and i am overwight which doesnt help.
my concerns are because i am very tired recently, falling asleep about 6pm - 7pm when dd settling down before bed, then wide awake at bedtime, and also i have a insatiable thirst, mainly for full fat coke, cherry coke etc?..always liked cherry but normal coke usually too sweet for me, now i cant get enough and anything i drink i glug as if its my last drink.
im not hungry for 'food' just been eating snacks or choc biscuits..yes i know im not doing myself any favours, but just feel so out of sorts.
am trying to get app with doc, but wanted some advice as cant get there till friday afternoon

Stop drinking the sugary drinks - worst thing you can do if you think you're diabetic. Drink water. Same with the sugary food.

I had gestational diabetes and I felt really rotten - I was doing the "eat sugar to give me a boost" thing too But it doesn't work.

ok, will stop them..is diet coke ok? or better with no added sugar cordial and water?

dya think this could be something or me just needing a sugar fix?

Sugar is addictive, so you might feel worse before you feel better.

Go and get your sugar levels checked though - won't hurt.
