I am 20 years old and ever since I was young, I have always loved candy and sugar. In the last few years, tt seems that if I don’t eat food at specific times of the day, I feel really tired and faint to the point where I feel like I am going to pass out. I have also been urinating a lot lately and been really tired. Am I at risk for diabetes?

Approximately two weeks after I had a glucose tolerance test done at my general practitioner’s office, I had an A1c of 7.5%.

How can I have diabetic neuropathy without diabetes? Am I not cleared for the diabetes at this point?
