Who doesn't?

I have 2 fillings so far. :-,

Hmm, I wonder how you tell if you have diabetes? Actually, wait - I'd 
probably feel *ill* if I had something that seriously wrong with me...

Ah, that would explain your hyperactivity.
You are still having too much energy left from your childhood-sugar-eating-days.

Eumm.. Diabetes is relatively asymptomatic in it's early stages, 
Generally people first find out when they get a physical and their blood 
test shows high blood glucose levels.

There are subtle signs: Extreme thirst, urination at night (waking to 
urinate) But, that's about it. You'll feel normal otherwise. Eventually, 
after many years, you'll have glaucoma, neuropathy, reduced circulation 
in the extremities.

Yeah...

I've just noticed lately that it seems to have escalated, just as you said.

Of course, I also remember the constant repetition of "GIYF!" to him 
some time ago, too. I suppose people get tired of saying that constantly.

Random observation: Given any almost any disorder, if you list the 
symptoms it's almost always possible to think to yourself "yeah, I 
sometimes get that..." Weird, eh?

For example, right now I *am* quite thirsty, as it happens. But then, 
this is possibly related to the following:

1. I haven't had anything to drink for several hours.

2. The temparature here is higher than a typical English summer day. 


Similarly, I frequently have very cold hands. This is possibly related 
to me being a very tall skinny person who feels the cold a lot... Join 
enough dots up and you can almost convince yourself that you suffer from 
any disease known! :-.

It all started with his recent discovery of the catholicness of "some old 
bloke with a big hat in Romania". Then some people here had to correct his 
notion that large plantigrades only defecate in the central island of 
Swindon's magic roundabout, rather than in arboreal areas. Then Wikipedia 
told him how male and female sex organs are supposed to work together, which 
is somehow different from the way it's described in "Haskell Hardcore, 3rd 
edition". It went downhill (or escalated) after that ;D

The way you tell is to be tested for it.  I'm sure a google search would 
turn up some information on early warning signs.
