I'm afraid i'm diabetic

I chronically get canker sores in my mouth, i get light headed and dizzy alot. my muscles ache almost all the time. I've been getting yeast infections and urinary tract infections for almost 2 years now. as soon as i get rid of it, they come back within a day. i'm always thirsty and if i cant drink enough my urine burns alot worse. My moods are so unpredictable it scares me.

If you suspect diabetes you must go to the doctor.  They need to test fasting blood sugar and HA1C.

You can also get a home glucose monitor and start checking.

Bottom line, if it's diabetes it's treatable.

The sooner you get it treated and well managed the less likely you are to have complications.
