Diabetes is a condition that occurs when the blood sugar (glucose) is too high. The symptoms of diabetes can vary based on the type of diabetes and the severity of the condition. Some of the common symptoms of diabetes include:

• Feeling more thirsty than usual
• Urinating often, especially at night
• Losing weight without trying
• Feeling tired and weak
• Having blurry vision
• Having slow-healing sores
• Feeling irritable or having other mood changes
• Having numb or tingling hands or feet
• Having very dry skin
• Having more infections than usual

In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe. People with type 1 diabetes may also have nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains. Type 2 diabetes symptoms often take several years to develop, and some people don’t notice any symptoms at all. Gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy) usually doesn’t have any symptoms. However, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider if you or someone you know has any of these symptoms.

It’s worth noting that some people with diabetes don’t experience any symptoms at all, especially in the early stages of the condition. Therefore, it’s important to get regular check-ups and blood sugar tests to detect diabetes early and prevent complications.
