Answer 4

heres the symptoms i had...

1. excessive thirst....i could drink two 20oz bottles of water in 15minutes and still feel super thirsty.

2. frequent urination....sometimes went every hour during the day and 4 or 5 times during the night.

3. feeling tired....i could sleep for 10+ hours and still feel like i hardly slept when i got up

4. unexplained weight loss....i lost about 40lbs in 2 months

5. blurred vision...i didnt get this symptom until a few weeks before i was diagnosed

another symptom of diabetes is excessive hunger....i had the opposite of this....i lost my appetite

i would guess that if you had diabetes it would be type 1 (FYI i saw your other diabetes question) type 1's are usually thin....you cant prevent type 1 and eating too much sugar doesnt cause diabetes (type 1 or type 2)

Answer 5

Undiagnosed diabetes may present with increased hunger, increased thirst, increased urination (related to the increased thirst)... you may also experience highs and lows with blood sugar (sometimes those feelings of ravenous hunger may alternate with lightheadedness, restlessness, etc... if you do not have good control over your blood sugar.

If you have this cluster of symptoms and have ruled out other causes (such as excessive exercise...) make an appointment. Diagnosing diabetes is done through simple blood tests but the disease can be hard to manage if not caught early.

Answer 6

The classical triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia, which are, respectively, frequent urination; increased thirst and consequent increased fluid intake; and increased appetite. Symptoms may develop quite rapidly (weeks or months) in type 1 diabetes, particularly in children. However, in type 2 diabetes the symptoms develop much more slowly and may be subtle or completely absent. Type 1 diabetes may also cause weight loss (despite normal or increased eating) and irreducible fatigue. These symptoms can also manifest in type 2 diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled.

When the glucose concentration in the blood is raised beyond the renal threshold, reabsorption of glucose in the proximal renal tubuli is incomplete, and part of the glucose remains in the urine (glycosuria). This increases the osmotic pressure of the urine and inhibits the reabsorption of water by the kidney, resulting in increased urine production (polyuria) and increased fluid loss. Lost blood volume will be replaced osmotically from water held in body cells, causing dehydration and increased thirst.

Prolonged high blood glucose causes glucose absorption, which leads to changes in the shape of the lenses of the eyes, resulting in vision changes. Blurred vision is a common complaint leading to a diabetes diagnosis; type 1 should always be suspected in cases of rapid vision change whereas type 2 is generally more gradual, but should still be suspected.

Patients (usually with type 1 diabetes) may also present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), an extreme state of metabolic dysregulation characterized by the smell of acetone on the patient's breath; a rapid, deep breathing known as Kussmaul breathing; polyuria; nausea; vomiting and abdominal pain; and any of many altered states of consciousness or arousal (such as hostility and mania or, equally, confusion and lethargy). In severe DKA, coma may follow, progressing to death. Diabetic ketoacidosis is a medical emergency and requires hospital admission.

A rarer but equally severe possibility is hyperosmolar nonketotic state, which is more common in type 2 diabetes and is mainly the result of dehydration due to loss of body water. Often, the patient has been drinking extreme amounts of sugar-containing drinks, leading to a vicious circle in regard to the water loss.

Answer 7

Excessive thirst is one of the first. Having lots of sugar in your blood makes you thirsty - just think about how thirsty you get after eating ice cream or candy. Sugar will also show up in urine, and you can buy over the counter kits that aren't very expensive. It will also show up in blood, and for that you can test yourself with a glucometer, again not a terribly expensive thing.
If your blood sugar is too low, you will get dizzy, confused, hungry, and you could pass out.
Other symptoms include burning feet, numb toes and ulcers that won't heal.
Most diabetics are fat.
