Q. My dad and grandma both have diabetes and it's in my genes. I just wanted to know what the symptoms for diabetes are.
A. Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so harmless. Recent studies indicate that the early detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the chance of developing the complications of diabetes.
Some diabetes symptoms include:

Are sore throats a symptom of diabetes?
Q. I have a sore throat. I'm not thirsty, it doesn't hurt when I pee, I am kind of tired, but that's probably because I didn't get much sleep last night. My question is, are sore throats a symptom diabetes?
A. Not generally. However, a candidal infection will cause a sore throat and these are very common in people with long-term diabetes. I would say however, it is not a front-line symptom (like being thirsty, tired and peeing alot).
What are the symptoms for diabetes?
Q. My dad and grandma both have diabetes and it's in my genes. I just wanted to know what the symptoms for diabetes are.
A. fatigue
sudden, unexplained weight loss
blurry vision
frequent urination / bed wetting
extreme thirst, constant no matter how much you drink
skin infections (boils, etc.)
swollen ankles
slow healing sores
You may have all or just one of these symptoms. A simple blood test at your normal doctor visit will tell the real story though. A finger prick can tell your fasting blood sugar levels. They can also take an average blood sugar level reading (using dead blood cells mixed in with your regular blood) in a test called HBA1C.

Can symptoms of Diabetes Insipidus disappear and then return?
Q. My 20 month old had the typical symptoms of diabetes insipidus from birth (frequent urination and extreme thirst). Then at 5 months old they went away and were replaced with constipation which continued until she was 11 months old. Then again she was putting out high volumes of pale urine and drinking more water than I have ever seen a child drink. Now at 20 months she is back to being constipated and not drinking or urinating heavily. Doctors want to do a MRI but do not want to undergo such an evasive procedure if there is no diagnosis.
A. As a father of a large family I would be doing what the doctor says and fast. An MRI is the least invasive proceedure for internal examination. It's magnetic imaging not xray.I went with a grandaughtwer while she had it done for a faulty stomach valve which needed major surger eventually. It was nothing at all to be concerned about.
They may well be examing for a twist in the bowel and that needs finding.
