Mouth feels VERY dry.
Left arm upper cramping
Tired just ate dinner going for a sleep
Ive also become very sensitive

I would like to no people say your weight drops rapidly Ive lost weight but how much weight and how long would a diabetic lose???

You certainly do have several symptoms of diabetes. You need to go to your doctor for a fasting blood test to determine if you have diabetes or not. It's very simple, painless & inexpensive.
The symptoms of diabetes that you may or may not have are :
increased thirst
increased hunger
unexplained weight loss
recent weight gain
dry mouth
frequent urination
fatigue
blurred vision
headaches
slow healing sores
itching
frequent yeast infections
numbness or tingling in hands or feet
dark skin changes around neck, armpits, or groin
impotency

Try eating better...maybe you won't feel like crap! You are eating to much sugar and too many carbs. Your mouth feels dry because your getting too much sodium (salt). You're tired because of all the carbs (bread). Your sensitive because you're getting too much sugar (sugar high and then you crash).

My sister has diabetes and she lost like 30 pounds in a couple months and she ate normal. losing two pounds happens. Stop obsessing and maybe youll feel normal again. And why dont you go see a doctor if youre so worried?

Your symptoms don't sound like diabetes to me, but diabetes has different symptoms in different people. Even if a doctor suspects diabetes he orders a whole series of tests because the same symptoms can mean lots of different things.

If you know someone who is diabetic he will have a blood glucose meter and probably would be happy to test you. It's a very simple test and practically painless, it only requires a little speck of blood from your forearm. That test can't prove you have diabetes but it can rule it out. If your blood sugar is above certain guidelines, then you should go to a doctor and get the more serious tests. If your blood sugar is normal, then you don't have diabetes, but of course it could be something else, any number of other things.

BTW when I was about your age I had a very similar problem. I lost a lot of weight, like 30 lbs, in a very short time. My mom took me to the doctor and they did tests for weeks! They never figured out what it was, and I gained the weight back and I was fine. Much later in life I did get diabetes, type 2, and I didn't lose any weight at all! (Well, after I was diagnosed I changed my eating habits and then I did lose a little weight.)

Good luck!
