Q. Just like the headline, what are the signs of diabetes? I've gone around looking up on the internet and some medical books and found that the symptoms are, increased hunger, thirst, fatigue, increase in urination both volume and frequency. But what else are there?
And so far i've noticed that i've been experiencing both increased thirst and urination, but not much of hunger out of all those. Is there a possible chance that i could have it?

A. The best thing you can do would be going to your local doctor and getting a diagnosis.. Try to limit the amount of sugars you eat. Diabetes is caused by to many sugars. U should also drink plenty of water. Water is the defense against diabetes remember that. Also excersise alot. I personally dont think u have diabetes..Unless ur overweight, or have a history of family with diabetes or never excersise but you should be fine..:) I piss alot too lol. u might just be drinking too much liquids.

A. 1) Excessive thirst; constant thirst
2) Tired all the time; no amount of rest makes this better. Not enough energy to do ADL's. I sometimes would make a batter and literally not have the energy to put it from the bowl into the pan into the oven, I was so sick, and didn't know it. This disease totally mimics chronic fatigue syndrome.
3) Some people are hungry all the time, no matter how much they eat. Some people lose weight no matter how much they eat. Some people completely lose their appetite.
4) Extreme mood swings; emotional volatility, irritability, inability to cope w/ sometimes even the smallest problems or issues, as in literally NOT HAVING THE ENERGY TO COPE W/ SOMETHING, not wimping out.
5) Sometimes, symptoms of undiagnosed/untreated diabetes can mimic Manic-Depressive Disorder, or BPD (Bi-Polar Disorder).
6) In my own life, I have found hot flashes, anxiety attacks, "red in the face" issues, inability to deal w/ heat and humidity to be symptoms of blood sugars way too high, too.
7) Any significant changes in vision, of any kind-- GO GET CHECKED OUT!
8) Sometimes extreme depression sometimes with no obvious causes, as in out of keeping w/ a person's normal character.
9) Frequent urination, especially at night.
10) Craving sweets can also be a symptom.
11) The person's breath can smell "fruity" or "pear-like".
Most medical folks will take blood to check blood sugar and will also do a test called a Hemoglobin A1-C which will tell them what your bloodsugars have be running/trending for the last 3 months/90 days or so. Some doctors will order a Glucose Tolerance Test, but if your fasting blood sugar is above I think it's 120 now (used to be 140), your Dr. will strongly be suspecting diabetes.

A. Here are the most common symptoms.
Frequent urination (causing the kidneys to work harder) due to excessive urine

Dry skin
Dry mouth-causing thirst
Head aches and pains
