I think I could be pregnant but I am not 100% sure, but my brother was recently diagnosed with diabetes and some of the symptoms are the same. Is it possible to get these two confused?

Can the symptoms for pregnancy and diabetes be mixed up?

Well, some symptoms are the same – like being thirsty and needing to pee a lot, although this tends to happen later in the pregnancy because the baby is pressing on the bladder. Fainting is also a sign of both.
However, there are also a lot of symptoms that don't overlap and I personally haven't heard of anyone thinking they were one and found they were the other. Your best bet is to take a pregnancy test and if it comes out negative go and see your GP, who will do a blood test and then you can get a definitive answer one way or the other.

Theres a thing called gestational diabetes which happens while your pregnant so it could be that. If you are really worried see your doctor.

No, tests for either of these will give you a good dx.
See your doctor.
