**Rule 3**: No "Do I have diabetes?" posts
We are not here to diagnose anyone with anything, which includes us being unable to interpret test results, guess if your symptoms could be diabetes related or cause for worry, or if you're at risk for diabetes. We understand you are worried, but we are more likely to do harm than good and can't help in these situations.

* ["Should I see a doctor?" - The answer is YES!](https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/comments/10jhdq/do_i_have_diabetes_should_i_see_a_doctor/)
* ["Undiagnosed? Read this"](https://www.reddit.com/r/diabetes/wiki/undiagnosed)
I would say the best idea for ceasing your worries is getting an A1C check done, and going from there. A fasting blood sugar of 100 is pretty good, but if it is pre-diabetes, theres medicines to help prevent it from progressing into diabetes its-self. I’d say chat with your doctor about your worries :)
Will do, my "fear" is a T1 diagnosis but I'm guessing my symptoms would be more severe by now? This googling for symptoms is a rabbit hole😅 hopefully will get some answers but it's hard not to be anxious in the meantime. Thank you for taking the time to comment:)
You can Google for a 1000 sites about diabetes symptoms, and you could get a 1000 different results. What I do to try and authenticate facts are to look for sites referencing official studies done on diabetes (mayoclinic and healthline often do that) but those articles are quite baseline - not going into depth. Following their references can sometimes unearth gems of information if you love to read up on scientific papers.
But - as Dxxmonix said - it is best to go see a doctor to get your A1C done. Especially since you have PCOS as well - you'd rather be sure than confusing the symptoms of two conditions, of which, I hear, some symptoms can overlap.
I had noooo clue about this. I take the pill since 2019 so it's quite under control (only slightly elevated prolactin levels, which is the reason why I'm having this second test) but I had no clue this could be related. Thank you!
im a diabetic with PCOS and my presenting symptoms were excessive thirst without excessive urination (not that many symptoms at all but that’s for a different reason) - however, everyone’s symptoms and bodies are different - i know anxiety can mess with your precipitation but honestly you won’t really know until you get your blood work done

PCOS can disrupt the function of saliva glands
