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.
