Your symptoms seem to fit well with those described here:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/type-2-diabetes/symptoms/

NB: Don't just stop at that page. Click on the other links (in the big blue box at the top of the page) as well.

Millions of people have diabetes. (Around 100 million in the USA alone). It doesn't prevent them from achieving their ambitions in life though. See here:

Yes, it needs to be taken seriously but it's definitely NOT something that you should be getting stressed out about. Just see your doctor and take his/her advice about taking control of it.

Yes......you could have diabetes based on your symptoms, but there are other far less common diseases.
IF you do have diabetes it will almost certainly be Type1.
See your Dr.
