Signs and Symptoms
of Diabetes
Signs and symptoms of diabetes may include the following 3 :
• Unusual thirst
• Frequent urination
• Weight change (gain or loss)
• Extreme fatigue or lack of energy
• Blurred vision
• Frequent or recurring infections
• Cuts and bruises that are slow to heal
• Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet
• Trouble getting or maintaining an erection
If you have any of these symptoms, it is important
to contact your health care provider right away.
Even if you do not have symptoms, you
should still get checked if you are forty
years of age or older.
It is important to realize, however, that
many people who have type 2 diabetes
may display no symptoms at all.
