What are the most common symptoms of diabetes?
Posted in Definition on 26. Apr, 2010
I don’t know if i have diabetes or not, as I have some of the symptoms, like urinating often and thirst. however, I don’t know exactly to what extent these symptoms apply, as I can find quantified data nowhere. What exactly is “extreme thirst”. How many times going to the bathroom is “urinating often.” Is “sudden weight loss always a symptom”. Thanks for the help.
you have all the symptoms go to the doctor have ac1 test done
* Frequent urination
* Excessive thirst
* Extreme hunger
* Unusual weight loss
* Increased fatigue
* Irritability
* Blurry vision
extreme thirst is like when your mouth fells like cotton and you fell like spitting to try to get it out. Urinating often depends on the individual. I’m sure you remember when you used to use the restroom two or three times a day and now you are using it seven. There is no symptom as being “always”.
To know for sure, you have to take tests, which I know cost money and might be scary. I could also be eating too much sugar or starch. I wouldn’t say your diabetic but I’d say you probably have a high glucose level.
If you don’t want to see a doctor, get a glucose meter and check your blood. Then go from there. My opinion
lets see:
pee a lot
drink a lot of water
do stupid things and say stupid things
be insecure and forgettable
WHEN HIGH
sleepiness
hungry
drowsiness
uncooperative
feel dead
WHEN LOW
frequent urination,thirsty,weight loss,eating a lot,dryness in the tongue,first affects the leg,eye problem…………..affects the kidney
^Thirst and frequent urination, can vary from person to person if you are drinking much more than usual and urinating more than usual for you that can be a sign.
The best thing to do is go to your doctor and have an A1C test, this is a blood test that will give you, your glucose (sugar) levels for the last 3 months. Ask your doctor to run kidney, liver function and a CBC test also, these are all blood tests as well.
Please go to the site below, they have a link for a test you can take on line, just answer the questions and they will evaluate to see if you have a risk factor. Good luck, I hope this helps.
