I am a 32 year old male 6’ 4” weighing in around 450 pounds I don’t smoke I don’t do any drugs, and I seldom drink ever. Lately my feet look, and feel swollen there is also a slight pain coming from them. I have looked online at diabetes symptoms the only one I appear to have is I urinate a lot in the middle of the night. I know I should go to the doctor, but I am in fear that the answer maybe “Diabetes.” I am hoping there is someone in the medical field on here that can tell me it is nothing I know it is high hopes, but I can dream.
Not sure if it matters or not, but I should add I drove trucks over the road for 7 years. That’s 7 years of driving, sleeping, and eating I was forced to quit by doctors cuz my back had gotten so messed up. Anyway I was tested for Diabetes, about a year ago I was cleared. I know I should go to the doctor but deathly afraid of what I might find out.

I think you should look into gluten intolerance and celiac disease. It can cause all kinds of symptoms that you wouldn’t expect. Neuropathy and obesity are two common symptoms. You should also get tested for diabetes, but the reason I’m stressing celiac disease is because you are likely to get tested for diabetes, your doctor probably won’t think of the other one

Hi. First of all, Diabetes is a serious condition. Even if you just think you might have it, you should go get checked. It’s nothing to mess around with. Second, of course your feet hurt, you are extremely overweight, which is putting a lot of pressure on them ( not trying to be mean when i say that ). Nobody on here can tell you if you have diabetes, only going to the doctor and getting tested can do that. We all fear finding out there is something wrong with us, that’s perfectly normal. I know lots of people with diabetes, and they lead a normal life. There are worse things you could have. Please get tested, waiting won’t help the situation. I hope all turns out well for you, take care.
Go get checked for it, and don’t be scared. Most people have been diabetic for years before they are diagnosed with it.
There is a good chance, because of your weight that you probably have been a Type 2 diabetic for a while.
GO TO YOUR DR.
