Have you considered seeing your OB/GYN? He/she may at least be able to get you started on met or start the testing to check your blood sugars. They may be able to refer you to an endocrinologist as well.

I experience all of your symptoms ( instead of no period, mine seems like it never shuts off ) I would go to the OB/GYN but if you can't get seen right away you may want to consider going to a clinic. Because it's better to be seen then not to be seen and maybe they can give you some suggestions. Because despite what people think there are Doctors and Nurses that work at these clinics that do really care about their patients.
