Someone please tell me, how do I know if I have the symptoms of Diabetes.

What are the noticeable signs or indications.

Could weight loss be a factor?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Generally tiredness, drinking and insatiable thirst, going to the toilet a lot, blurry vision, itchy skin and sores/cuts that won’t heal well. I am not sure about weight loss but if worried a trip to Doctor. They can do a blood test /urine test to see if you have diabetes and check your glucose levels

Thank you! Went to Dr on Friday and all blood work was negative. No indication of Diabetis.Dr is scheduling an urgent order for an MRI on Wed as CONSTIPATION has been an ongoing issue also.

There is a huge overlap between the symptoms of a number of conditions including diabetes, auto-immunne gastritis, thyroid problems.

The best thing to do if you have significant weight loss is to go and see your GP/doctor. Identifying the problem quickly is important

Went to Dr and will be sent for an URGENT MRI next Wed so they can locate the root of my issue.

Thank you for responding!

I didn't have any symptoms. Sometimes there are none!

Why did you answer if you didn't have any symptoms? Duh!

Because it is important for everyone to know that you can have diabetes for a very long time with no symptoms. Not Duh!
