Diabetes
Signs and Symptoms

Some of the common symptoms of all forms of diabetes include:

• Bedwetting in children who have been toilet trained
• Blurred vision
• Dry, itchy skin
• Extreme hunger
• Fatigue or low energy level
• Nausea
• Poorly healing wounds
• Thirst
• Tingling in the feet
• Urinating often, especially at night
• Weight loss
• Yeast infections

Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because these symptoms seem harmless or people aren't aware of them.
