To know if you have diabetes, watch for common symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. Some may also experience slow-healing cuts or wounds, frequent infections, dry itchy skin, and tingling or numbness in hands or feet. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes tend to appear suddenly, while type 2 diabetes symptoms develop more gradually and may be mild or unnoticed for years. If you notice any of these signs, it is important to consult a healthcare provider who can perform tests to confirm whether you have diabetes and recommend appropriate treatment.
