What Are the Symptoms of Diabetes
and How to Treat It?
• Excessive Thirst
• Diabetics experience an increased need to drink water; as a result, their water
consumption is significantly increased. People with diabetes frequently need to
drink water at night. If a child has a need to drink water frequently, it could be
a sign of type 1 diabetes.
• Frequent Need to Urinate
• Another very distinctive symptom of diabetes is the need to urinate more
frequently. If you suddenly feel the urgent need to urinate excessively and
frequently then it could mean that you are diabetic. The need to repeatedly
urinate is accompanied by excessive drinking. If you or your loved ones show
such symptoms, consulting with a doctor is necessary for timely detection and
treatment of diabetes.
• Extreme Hunger
• Another classic symptom of diabetes is increased hunger, you might feel
hungry more often and sometimes the hunger can be extreme. Despite the
hunger and frequent eating, a diabetic is prone to weight loss and weakness.
The weight loss is caused by a breakdown of fats and muscles.
