Weight loss/diabetes/UTIs
I am curious and a bit worried. My mother told me I should get tested for type two diabetes. Because I have had major life changes. I take Adderall for my ADHD. I am 20 years old and a female. I was losing weight before taking the Adderall and continue to lose weight while taking it. I do not take it on the weekends just during the week when my focus is a necessity. I get reoccurring UTIs. I am in a committed relationship and sex is often. Can diabetes be caused by not eating enough/or at all?

1) Get your sugar fasting/)PP and HbA1C tested. That would confirm whether u have diabetes or not
2) uncontrolled sugar levels can cause recurrent UTIs
3) Eating less should not cause diabetes
