What are 20 warning signs of diabetes?

I just got my HbA1c back down to normal after a prediabetes scare. My warning signs were extreme fatigue, getting sleepy right after lunch, and having to pee three times every single night. Once I noticed these and got my blood checked, I was able to reverse it with a proper diet.

Look, reading a list of 20 symptoms will only give you a headache. If you are peeing too much, losing weight without trying, and feeling weak, just go get a blood test. It costs very little and will give you a clear answer instead of all this online guesswork.

When sugar levels fluctuate, you might experience intense hunger, irritability, and dry skin. It is very important to avoid self-treating with diabetic diets until you have a proper report. Please get tested first, and then focus on a high-fiber, low-glycemic vegetarian diet under professional guidance.

Is anyone else here constantly checking their neck for dark patches or getting worried every time they feel excessively thirsty? I keep reading about these 20 different signs online and it's making me so anxious. Did your symptoms start suddenly or very gradually?

You don't need a list of 20 signs to identify diabetes. Just watch for the big ones: extreme thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, blurry vision, and slow-healing cuts. If you notice even three of these, just walk into any lab for a quick fasting blood sugar test.

I completely agree with the others. Tingling in the feet and hands is another very common sign that you shouldn't ignore.
