DIABETES

Some symptoms act as warning signs that a serious disease is developing. If you know these warning signs and heed them, you may detect the disease before it becomes life-threatening. Some diseases, like cancer, are often curable if they are detected early. Other diseases, like diabetes, cannot be cured, but early detection and treatment may reduce the injury they cause the body.

The warning signs of diabetes are often vague and might not cause you to think you need to see a doctor. However, if you have any of the following symptoms and there is no other obvious cause (fatigue from working hard, or frequent urination because of drinking lots of fluids, for example), discuss the symptoms with your doctor.
1)Increased thirst
2)Frequent urination (especially at night)
3)Increased appetite
4)Unexplained weight loss
5)Fatigue
6)Frequent unexplained skin infections
7)Slow-healing wounds
8)Frequent vaginal infections
9)Difficulty with erections
10)Persistent blurred vision
11)Persistent tingling or numbness in hands or feet
