Signs & Symptoms of Diabetes

Signs and Symptoms of diabetes include:

• increased thirst and urination

• increased hunger

• fatigue

• blurred vision

• numbness or tingling in the feet or hands

• sores that do not heal

• unexplained weight loss

In addition to the above, men with diabetes may have: a decreased sex drive, an erectile dysfunction

or poor muscle strength.

In women: vaginal dryness, urinary tract infections, yeast infections, dry, itchy skin.

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes can start quickly, in a matter of weeks. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes often develop slowly—over the course of several years—and can be so mild that you might not even notice them. Many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms. Some people do not find out they have the disease until they have diabetes-related health problems, such as blurred vision or heart trouble.
