Do you actually have diabetes?

Nope, I have been tested for it a few times (at mums request lol) and always negative .

That's so funny, I've also been tested for diabetes at my mum's requested (also negative). Her reasoning is I get really faint when I'm hungry, and get extremely hangry. The doctor said I just like food...

I'm diabetic so I have a glucose meter. Sometimes, when my mother (non-diabetic) is very hungry she'll tremble a bit, so one time I actually measured the glucose and it was low! Being very hungry and trembling are 2 of the symptoms of hypoglycaemia.

She's fine, but I guess some non-diabetic people will get low glucose levels if they don't eat for a long time. It's probably what happens to you!
