What are the symptoms of diabetes?

Diabetes, medically known as diabetes, can typically present with the following symptoms:

1. Excessive thirst and frequent urination: High levels of sugar in the body cause the kidneys to work harder to remove excess sugar, resulting in excessive thirst and frequent urination.

2. Fatigue: Fatigue occurs when body cells have difficulty converting glucose into energy.

3. Blurred vision: High blood sugar levels can affect the lens of the eye and cause blurred vision.

4. Slow-healing wounds and infections: High blood sugar can weaken the immune system and slow wound healing.

5. Unexplained weight loss: When the body can't use glucose for energy, it uses fat and muscle as a source of energy.

6. Numbness in hands and feet: High blood sugar levels can damage the nerves, causing numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.

If you are experiencing some of these symptoms, it could be a serious health problem and you should see a health professional. Can you share some of the following information so that I can help you better? 1. Which of these symptoms are you experiencing? 2. How long have you had these complaints?
