I know i should just go get my sugar checked, but i have no trans potation and the bus stop is too far away. What are other signs of diabetes? I believe constant thirst and frequent urination, but i have to tell you i love my soda and iced tea. I was doing good for a while, mostly water, gallon a day, but my soda is like drug to me. However I dont particually care for sweets.
