Hi,
A full blood test before breakfast will determine if you're diabetic or not. As of myself, i'm type 1 for almost a year now. 80% of adults are type 2 diabetes; comes from obesity, fats on the liver and/or kidneys, poor diet, lack of exercise, family history. Some doctors will even tell you if you notice any black marks on the back of your neck or back, this can be a sign to determine if ur type 2. However, a full blood test and seeking a doctor as fast as possible will remove any doubt you have.
Good Luck!
