Kirsteen if you are worried about diabetes just get a blood sugar monitor and strips. Test yourself 2 hours post eating sugar and see where you are at. Anything higher than a 140 after 2 hours of eating then you could be type 1 or 2 or insulin resistant.

My limited experience from people in my life everyone that i have known who became Type 1 diabetic. Lost a butt load of weight before doing so. Because their bodies couldn't convert the food into energy. They looked pale and sickly.

People who I know of who are type 2 insulin resistant gain a crap load of weight and have cravings.
