Does Constant Dry Mouth And Thirsty Indicate Sign Of Diabetes?

Hello, I'm a 5'7", 165 lb female age 18. I recently noticed that I had dry mouth constantly, always thirsty, not much of a sense of fullness. I looked online & the only thing coming up was diabetes. I'm told I might be overweight but I need to be morbidly obese, however it does run in my family. Do you think I might have diabetes?
