What are the warning signs for developing Diabetes?

Diabetes Warning Signs

It is important to be aware of the warning signs of developing diabetes. Often someone may go several years without realizing they have the disease, putting them at higher risk for organ damage.

Type 1 warning signs:

  • Excessive thirst
  • High blood sugar levels
  • Excessive urination
  • Fatigue
Type 2 warning signs:

  • Weight gain
  • Irregular menstrual cycles for women
  • Vaginal infections
  • Wounds not healing as quickly as they should.
An important danger to be aware of is the fact that Diabetes symptoms do not always present themselves. It is possible to misinterpret the symptoms as the flu or another illness, but there may be none at all. This is why it is important to both be aware of your family medical history and see your doctor regularly each year.
