Losing two pounds over a few days is normal. And your sight problems could either be in your head (because you are worrying and just looking for symptoms) or down to actual sight problems that have nothing to do with diabetes.
Symptoms of diabetes include intense thirst, major weight loss, tiredness, going to the toilet frequently and cramps. If you're worried, you can arrange an appointment with your nurse to check your blood sugar level (this can also be done at some chemists or even if you have a diabetic friend with a BM glucometre) and/or urine.

Do you have cravings for sweet things? appetite okay? The only way to tell is to get a blood test at your doctors office. A quick blood test, or a urine test will indicate if you are diabetic.
Losing 2 pounds in 4 or 5 days isn't anything to get nervous about.

Do you have a personal physician that you are comfortable with? Then confide your fears to him/her. He can do a simple test and let you know if you are or are not and go over the risk factors with you to see if you are at risk for developing diabetes. Don't be afraid. Even if you have diabetes, it is not a death sentence!

The only way you can be sure is with a blood/sugar test. It only takes a minute.
