The thing is, I have the symptoms: I'm more tired while playing rugby, I eat more but lost a bit of weight and I drink water a lot which may show a dysfunction from the sugar regulation system.

If I am, then I'm pretty much screwed because I don't want to give up sugar or doing whatever I want. I'm guy who likes to do his own stuff. So I told my parents I'd rather be dead at 30 but I lived my life fully than living until 80 and living like a prisoner.

I almost want to be diabetic because if I'm not, I will have to give my mum a deadly combo double kick in the head that she will never forget for making me paranoid about this.

No one may care but I had to say it somewhere as I probably wouldn't tell my mates and my girlfriend.

Your dad must have type 2 and you are a bit young for that, although possible. As long as you eat a healthy diet - you should be fine. You can still eat sugar - just not too much!
