What are 10 warning signs of diabetes?

My husband's blood sugar levels have been a bit high recently, and the doctor advised him to watch for signs of diabetes. I want to be aware. What are some of the warning signs of diabetes that we should look out for?

My grandmother used to say that feeling constantly thirsty and having dry mouth are the first signs, but we must trust proper tests. Other signs like frequent urination at night, sudden weight loss, and blurry vision need a doctor's immediate attention. Please visit a clinic and get a fasting blood sugar test done.

The doctors at Fortis told us to watch out for slow-healing cuts, extreme fatigue, tingling in hands or feet, and frequent infections. Instead of matching ten signs on your own, please go to a hospital and get an HbA1c test done. A doctor can clearly tell you where your sugar levels stand.

I can only tell you what happened to me before my diagnosis. I was feeling extremely tired all the time, drinking bottles of water, and running to the washroom every hour. My skin also became very dry and itchy, which I initially ignored but later found out was due to high sugar.

Look, instead of memorizing ten different symptoms like extreme hunger, fatigue, and blurry vision, just do a basic lab test. Nowadays you can get a home collection blood test for under 300 rupees. That is much more practical and will clear all your doubts in one day.

Oh god, I always worry about this too whenever I feel a bit tired or thirsty! People say watch out for slow healing wounds, patch of dark skin around the neck, and numbness in fingers. It really freaks me out, but getting a proper test is the only way to sleep peacefully at night.

Instead of paying for expensive consultations just to ask about symptoms like dark skin patches or tingly feet, book a combined fasting sugar and HbA1c package online. It costs around 250-400 rupees total. Once you have the report, you can show it to a government or local doctor and save on unnecessary visits.

Please keep your mind calm and don't let fear take over. Symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, and constant fatigue are just our body's way of asking for care and balance. Take deep breaths, eat simple food, and let a good doctor guide you on the next steps.

I agree with everyone pointing out frequent urination and extreme tiredness. Please just book a basic blood test to be absolutely sure.

In our days, we noticed if a person was losing weight despite eating well, or getting tired easily, as early signs of sugar. While drinking methi water or chewing neem can help support your general health, please don't rely only on home remedies for diabetes. Go to a laboratory and get your blood checked properly.

My father went through this, and his main symptoms were constant fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and always feeling hungry even after meals. He also had very dry skin and blurry vision. It's really common and manageable, so don't worry, just get a simple health screening done.
