It's all in my gut!

The only test I did before was a urine strip test thing and it indicated that I don't have diabetes. I don't know how accurate those test things are, but yeah.

Ketostrips?

They will only tell you if you have Ketone's in your urine. That is indicative of Ketoacidosis. Ketones are a result of breaking down Phospho-lipids. You can have diabetes and not be in Ketoacidosis. I would really recomend seeing a doctor before playing with your diet too much. This is your health we are talking about. That is far more important than looking good on the beach buddy

BTW, Diabete's cannot be diagnosed with 'one' positive test anyhow. But the Oral Glucose Tolerance test is the standard and most telling (and painless if that's a concern).

I, personally, do not have Diabetes. But I have Hypoglycemic and Hyperosmolar-like reactions. Once you get a better understanding of how your own body works, you can perfect your diet (AND feel like a million bucks). I will garruntee that, if you are like I am, you won't respond too well to the diets most people are going to suggest to you on these types of boards.

Okay, even after I go to the doctor and everything is good, i'm still worried i'm going to get fat. I don't know if I should be consuming 6 meals a day. But if I don't eat more, I won't gain anything. I am clueless on what to do.

Eating 6 meals doesn't meal eating more food. It means breaking the same amount of food into a higher frequency. This will help to increase your metabolism, and aide in proper digestion (due to less stress on the liver because of a 'larger' meal)

worried i'm going to get fat.

You are starting off on the wrong foot and have too little faith in your own body. Worrying (stress) halts digestion. Positive thinking is SO much more important than you'll ever know.

There is no magic pill. This takes you educating yourself on what you body needs. The good news is... you have a LONG time to figure it out. The sooner you do though, the happier you'll be. Start reading buddy. Let me know if I can help with anything.
