The Signs of Diabetes

The signs of diabetes are

• being very thirsty

• urinating often

• feeling very hungry or tired

• losing weight without trying

• having sores that heal slowly

• having dry, itchy skin

• losing the feeling in your feet or having tingling in your feet

• having blurry eyesight

You may have had one or more of these signs before you found out you had diabetes. Or you may have had no signs at all. A blood test to check your glucose levels will show if you have pre-diabetes or diabetes.
