For a start you wont be bad now, but if you carry on eating alot on junk food then you will be bad.

You can start bt cutting down on junk food like crisps and cakes etc....
Also try and do plenty of exercise.

And you should try different salads with different ingredients, you could be surprised at how nice they are, just dont look at them and think it looks horrible otherwise you definetley wont like it.
Also protien, like eggs and potatoes are good for you. So maybe try omlettes.

OMG! I hate the media >_<

You're at risk of getting Diabetes 2. This is a lesser form of Diabetes that does NOT last for your the rest of your life (Well.. usually). Diabetes 1 however, is mere luck (however research has gestured that it is Genetical).

I have Diabetes 1, no one else in my family has it. And my diet was normal, I was underweight though.. Well, very underweight.

Diabetes 2 is caused mainly from obesity because there is too much strain on the pancreas. However, if you are having alot of sugary foods and drinks you have a much MUCH higher chance of getting Diabetes 2. Just cut down on the 'junk' food.

Don't try to worry yourself too much; Main Sytoms are...

Being constantly tired, Being VERY thirsty & Going to the loo alot.

If you are worried then consult your doctor. They can do a simple blood test, and if the sugar readings are above 9.00/10.00 then you are at risk of Diabetes.. like 90%.

Hope this helped.


EDIT: Also you mentioned that you sometimes don't go to the toilet even once a day. This is EXTREMELY bad for you... Even if you need to force it out. You should go to the toilet at least three times a day.

I have type 1 and have done for almost 5 years. I wasnt overweight, i didnt eat unhealthy, NOBODY in either side of my family has ever had it, but i got it. It can just happen and it doesnt have to be down to any of the stereotypical ideas people have. Ofcourse thats not an excuse to go and binge on mcdonalds and drink 5 bottles of coke a day becuase thats certainly not going to make anthing better. But if you think you are suffering from some symtoms my best suggestion is for you to either go to the pharmacy and get the free check done, or go to your doctor and find out more. The longer you leave it, the more dangerous it can be for you in later life.
