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

Nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains may accompany some of these symptoms in the abrupt onset of insulin-dependent diabetes, now called type 1 diabetes.

Pretty Girl In Pink said it ALL in the very first line.
The symptoms may be all, some or none of those listed.
The reason I went to the Doctor was numbness in my feet and legs. As I understand it this takes years to develop and my Dr. said I had probably been diabetic for at least 5 or 6 years before I was diagnosed.
The best way to catch this killer is with an annual physical and blood work. Ask for an A1C test. That will give you a 3 month average of the blood glucose level. If it is less than 7.0 you should be in fine shape. BTW, the glucose meters you use at home are great for their intended purpose, that of instantaneous reading but for diagnosis purposes, an AIC or a glucose tolerance test is what really needs to be done.

A constant thirst, Using the Bathroom all the time. Stickness on the bathroom floor, Moodiness, or violent mood swings, cuts that won't heal, waking up in a wet bed even though the person didn't pee the bed. Unable to understand a simple question or command before a meal.
