writes:This has got nothing to do with sex or relationships or anything I just want some opinions on my problem.For the past 3 months or so I have been suffering with chest pains and my skin is so dry and really itchy. I've gained quite a bit of weight and I am getting hungry a lot more. I usually feel like I need to go to the toilet twice in the night when before I never used to.I understand this may just be my body growing up and everything will equal out but its really frustrating.I was also wondering whether this could be a sign of diabetes as my grandad suffered from it before he died.Your advice and opinion would be much appreciated :) xx Reply to this Question

Some symptoms suggest you do, others don't. It's best to go to the doctor and get yourself checked.

 Some symptoms match diabetes, however I dont think that this is. Have you had your thyroid levels checked?
Go to your doctor and get checked out. He/she will probably send you for a blood test.
