Symptoms of Diabetes

A diabetic patient may have some or none of the following symptoms and signs:

· Increased thirst
· Frequent urination
· Extreme tiredness
· Extreme hunger
· Blurred vision
· Unusual weight loss
· Recurrent infections
· Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet

With type 1 diabetes the symptoms usually come on quickly and are very obvious. Whilst with type 2 diabetes some patients may not know they even have it. That's because often there are no symptoms or the symptoms are not severe and people just put up with or ignore it.

If you think you may have diabetes you must visit a physician for diagnosis.
