What Causes Frequent Urination, Night Sweats And Tingling Of Hands And Feet?

I had a fasting blood test done some years ago to see if I might be diabetic. At that time it came back negative. I've since had regular blood work done and I assume my GP checked for blood glucose levels. However, I have a constellation of symptoms that seem consistent with diabetes, or at least prediabetes. I have strong thirst even though I drink upwards of two litres of water a day, I have to urinate frequently (often waking multiple times a night because of this), I have night sweats, I suddenly become ravenous (often in the middle of the night), I have tingling in my hands, feet, calves, and arms. I feel generally "sick". Today I was so fatigued I was seriously worried. I used to exercise a lot (average 45 minutes intense cardio 5 days a week) but can no longer do so due to severe plantar fasciitis. Since I've become more sedentary I've noticed a worsening in these symptoms.

Dear sir i can understand your concern.Most of your symptoms are consistent with diabetes.But we can not say it for sure.
i suggest you to undergo some test which will tell your diabetic status
1.fasting blood sugars
2. Hba1c test
3.complete urine examination
some kind of urinary tract infections also will present in similar way
by knowing your height ,weight,and age i would have given a better estimate of your diabetes risk
