Hard to say: if you have a family history of diabetes, a history of gestational (pregnancy related) diabetes, or if you are significantly overweight or do not get regular exercise, it would be worth checking into it yes.

No harm done with a relatively easy and inexpensive test (blood glucose) in trying to explain your symptoms and specifically if you gained weight recently. The easiest would be to start work up under the care of your primary care doc.
