The answers that say you should see a doctor and get tested are right!. If that's not an option, you should go to your school nurse, or even a guidance counselor, and explain your symptoms!. With any luck, he or she will be able to get the ball rolling on finding out your exact medical condition, whether it's diabetes or not!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You do need to be seen and tested by a physician!.
Ask mother one more time about seeing one!.
If she is not "on board", contact child services agency in your area!. You may want to talk with school nurse, counser, or a trusted teacher first!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe you could have a chat with the school nurse - she may be able to speak to your mum and assure her that you have good reasons for your concerns!.

Where do you live that your mother hasn't taken you to a doctor in 14 years!? In the US that would be considered child abuse or at least endangering the welfare of a child!. There are so many things that could have been wrong with you!
That said, you need to convince her to take you to a doctor!. If you are having these symptoms there is a chance that you are becoming diabetic!. For all she knows, you could have been borderline diabetic all your life and now it's coming to ahead!. There is no reason you shouldn't see a doctor!. If for some reason your mother is worse than I think and won't take you to a doctor, see if anyone you know is diabetic and use their machine!. If you are using the metric system, your reading should be between 4-8!. If you are using a device from the US, your reading should be around 120!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
