Could this mean i'm diabetic?

Question 1
Could this mean i'm diabetic?...  Over the past few weeks my vision has drastically deteriorated and i feel like my stomach is a black hole because i cant stop eating. I have been having ridiculous amounts of water and now it has got into summer i'm drinking even more. I was told that these are signs of diabetes but im too scared to see a doctor in case their wrong and i look like a fool.
I know it sound ridiculous but my vision is really becoming an issue.

Any and all advice is welcome
Just so you know francine. i'm 17 so i would appreciate you not being rude when all i'm doing is asking.

1)   It is better to look a fool then be dead.

If it is nothing then you should be glad, but it could be something that is an easy fix and not what you thought at all.

it is better to be wrong then to let something go to long without treatment. if something is seriously wrong it is better to be safe than sorry. - eve

2)   Go to the doctor. They are there to help you. If you think there might be something wrong with you then you should go get it checked out. Tell them that your vision is getting bad and that you can't stop eating and drinking and they will diagnose what you have. There job is to do that for you. You are being a fool by not seeing them. Please go to the doctor before you get into some serious health problems. - Guide

4)   U may cross check with the real symptoms of diabetes. No panic, please.
Diabetes Symptoms:
•Severe pain in calf muscles [below knee joints], reeling sensation after heavy lunch/dinner, unhealed wounds/injuries/gum infections, excessive thirst/hunger, excessive urination, blurred vision, sudden loss of weight/stamina, and above all tensions add to the chief symptoms of diabetes.
but, don't worry. see a doctor at once.
Please, note that India is the diabetic capital of the world and Andhra Pradesh is very rich by possessing more diabetic patients running to millions.The no. of undetected diabetics are far more than the detected diabetics.The main culprits are excessive consumption of refined rice, alcohol and lack of exercise.
Above all, please, note that diabetes is curable 100% subject to stipulated terms and conditions. - Dr.dhananjaya

Question 3
Question about under active thyroid?...  i recently saw a show about under active thyroids,and this girl had a condition that when her leg was pressed on it would leave an indent. the same thing happens to me.when i press my finger into my shin for a min and then take it away, it leaves an indent in my shin. and it feels like the muscles are logged with water or something. any ideas on what is wrong with me?

Answers
1)   no. that,s why you get a blood test. that answers most health questions. i have 1/2 of a thyroid because of a biopsy. if my synthroid levels get low, i get cold hands and feet in the summer. you might just be dehydrated. - David

2)   This condition can also be caused by water retention and can lead to congestive heart failure
Best to see a doctor and have this situation 'properly' diagnosed and start necessary medical treatment. - Jan Luv

3)   Unless you have left out some vital symptoms, it is unlikely that you have an underactive thyroid based on an identation left on your shin. Patients usually complain of weight gain, fatigue, mental slowness, cold intolerance or depression. There is a small possibilty that the indentation may be result of water retention, which could be accumulating in your cells so I would still see a doctor if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms. The doctor will order a simple blood test, looking for raised TSH levels. - MrSandman

Question 4
What methods might be used to cool the skin of a child experiencing a high fever?...  How would this method promote heat loss?

Answers
1)   cool bath or rub down with alcohol - jon d.

2)   cold towel on the back of the neck - mitch

3)   A tepid bath is a very fast way. The room temperature water will help to equalize the child's temperature. Analgesics like acetaminophen can also help to cool the child's skin by blocking prostoglandin.

Do not your child in an ice bath. This can lead to hypothermia, aside from being shocking and painful. Do not give your child aspirin. Aspirin will reduce a fever, but in some children it can lead to Reye's Syndrome, a permanent type of brain damage. Do not rub alcohol on your child's skin. This gives the sensation of cool, but it is just evaporating the water from your child's already dehydrating body.

If your child has a fever of over 103, contact his doctor for the best recommendation tailored to your child's needs. If your child has a fever over 104, take him to the doctor immediately. - pastanaut

Question 5
how do you perform open heart surgery?...  need a lot of details please
i have to perform this operation tomorrow morning and i have no clue what i am doing

Answers
1)   Then you shouldn't be doing the procedure - 99SabrinaAwaleh99

2)   You just cut them open, rearrange a few things, and close 'em up. While you're in there,may as well make a collage or sculpture out of the organs and stuff, you know, leave your mark. If it were me, I'd take a sharpie and draw a "Killroy was here" sign. Best of luck and remember, have fun! - Tom U
