VELDA!

 

Okay, deep breath. It doesn't sound like you have diabetes. But if you have consistent headaches and dizzyness, you do need to go talk to a doctor.

 

The symptoms for diabetes are quite specific.

 

 

While it doesn't sound like diabetes, it could be hypoglycemia (which just means you really produce too much insulin and need to eat regular to keep your blood sugar up).

 

But I don't want to try and diagnosed you over the internet with just those three symptoms--- you need to talk to a doctor.

 

I know it's scary, but you need to find out what your body is trying to tell you. Don't be scared, whatever it is: you can handle it.

 

Let me know how everything goes and please, please don't hesitate any longer, go talk to a doctor so they can take care of you!
