I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 6 years ago, and with that experience, i would strongly suggest seeing a health care profressional immediately. I had some of the symptoms beforehand, abd did not know that they were the symptoms of diabetes at the time. What got me to to realize what I had were the symptoms of a heart attack. If it turns out to be a false alarm, at least you will be assured of that. If it turns out to be true, then you can take the first steps towards dealing with it. This includes getting support from a doctor, getting support through all resources available, and support from your family. A good resource is the American Diabetes Association which has a website online, and many glucometer manufacturers offer free meters to diabetics. If you wish, feel free to contact me at Spyderblade@yahoo.com, and I will be happy to provide any support and help you need as a fellow diabetic.
yes it is, you dont have to have all of them at one time
you can just go and have yourself tested for your blood glucose level.
These are some symptoms of diabetes but it could be that your dehydrated. The best way to find out is to use a friends glucometer or have the doctor test you. Usually you crave sweet things or eat an abundance as if you haven't eaten in days.
Dry mouth and frequent urination are both symptoms of diabetes...I have never experienced being really hungry...but I DO have Type II Diabetes.
Yes, these are symptoms of diabetes. The urination happens because the glucose can't get into your cells to give you energy because the insulin isn't there to let it. So if you are diagnosed with diabetes, you will have to give yourself insulin shots because the pancreas (which makes the insulin) isn't working. You can do everything you did before, just pay extra attention to your blood sugar level. And don't eat too much sugary foods, but don't stop eating them for good... people need energy, you know. So just go to your doctor and get you blood tested. If you do get diagnosed with diabetes, pay close attention to what your body tells you. If you feel sluggish, you might have a low glucose level. If you have a lot of energy, go play a sport and let your glucose level down. It's all in the signs your body is giving you...
Below is a list of symptoms common with diabetes. however each case of diabetes is different. Some people have many symptoms, others have few or none. If you are worried that you might have diabetes, then you should see a doctor asap. undianosed diabetes cannot be controlled and that can lead to other serious health problems.
Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Unexplained weight loss
Extreme hunger
Sudden vision changes
Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
Feeling very tired much of the time
Very dry skin
Sores that are slow to heal
More infections than usual.
Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains

What are the main Symptoms of Diabetes?
The most consistent symptom of diabetes mellitus (Type I and II) is elevated blood sugar levels. In Type I (insulin dependent / early onset) diabetes, this is caused by the body not producing enough insulin to properly regulate blood sugar. In Type II (non insulin dependent/adult onset) diabetes, it is caused by the body developing resistance to insulin, so it cannot properly use what it produces.
However, high blood sugar is not something you can see in the mirror at home, so it is useful to know the side-effects of high blood sugar, which are commonly recognized as the noticeable symptoms of diabetes.
If you find yourself experiencing many of these diabetes symptoms on a consistent, long term basis, you should visit a doctor to be tested for diabetes. Ignoring (or not recognizing) the symptoms of diabetes can lead to long-term serious health risks and complications from untreated diabetes. Some of the common 'early warning' signs of diabetes are:
The first symptom of diabetes is often excessive thirst (unrelated to exercise, hot weather, or short-term illness)
Excessive hunger (you know you've eaten "enough" but are still hungry all the time)
Frequent urination (often noticed because you must wake up repeatedly during the night)
Tiredness and fatigue (possibly severe enough to make you fall asleep unexpectedly after meals), one of the most common symptoms of diabetes.
Rapid and/or sudden weight loss (any dramatic change in weight is a sign to visit a doctor)
While many of the signs and symptoms of diabetes can also be related to other causes, testing for diabetes is very easy, and the constant/regular presence of one or more of these symptoms over an extended period of time should be cause for a visit to the doctor.
If diabetes is suspected, tested for, and diagnosed when those symptoms first start appearing, other more serious symptoms of advanced diabetes can often be prevented or have their onset significantly delayed through diet, exercise and proper blood sugar management.
However, often the 'minor' symptoms of diabetes go unrecognized, and physical and neurological problems may arise, resulting in some
of the following symptoms:
Blurred vision (diabetes can lead to macular degeneration and eventual blindness)
Numbness and/or tingling in the hands and feet (peripheral neuropathy, a symptom of diabetes, causes nerve damage in the extremities)
Slow healing of minor scratches and wounds (diabetes often leads to impaired immune system function)
Recurrent or hard-to-treat yeast infections in women (another sign of impaired immune function)
Dry or itchy skin (peripheral neuropathy also affects circulation and proper sweat gland function)
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms on a regular basis, or you recognize these symptoms in a child or relative, they may be signs of untreated diabetes. A doctor's appointment should be made as soon as possible, so the individual experiencing the symptoms can -- if diabetes is diagnosed -- take the steps needed to prevent more serious health problems
if you have cold n hot sweats out of no where - drink unbelieavable amounts of water - get really dizzy, blurred vision. are all symptoms.
i havent heard of the hunger one though..
still check it out with doc - rather be safe then sorry
Go to the doctor and tell him your symptoms. Too vague and since we aren't doctors, we can't diagnose. Not everyone has the same symptoms. I was tired all the time. That was it. So it is better to go to the doctor and get it checked out.
