Symptoms Of Diabetes:

It is possible to have diabetes with only very mild symptoms or without developing any symptoms at all. Such cases can leave some people with diabetes unaware of the condition and undiagnosed. This happens in around half of the people with type 2 diabetes

Weight gain:

This might be the result of the above symptom (intense hunger).

Unusual weight loss:

This is more common among people with Diabetes Type 1. As your body is not making insulin it will seek out another energy source (the cells aren't getting glucose). Muscle tissue and fat will be broken down for energy. As Type 1 is of a more sudden onset and Type 2 is much more gradual, weight loss is more noticeable with Type 1.

Increased fatigue:

If your insulin is not working properly or is not there at all, glucose will not be entering your cells and providing them with energy. This will make you feel tired and listless.

Blurred vision:

This can be caused by tissue being pulled from your eye lenses. This affects your eyes' ability to focus. With proper treatment, this can be treated. There are severe cases where blindness or prolonged vision problems can occur.

Cuts and bruises don't heal properly or quickly:

Do you find cuts and bruises take a much longer time than usual to heal? When there is more sugar (glucose) in your body, its ability to heal can be undermined.

More skin and/or yeast infections:

When there is more sugar in your body, its ability to recover from infections is affected. Women with diabetes find it especially difficult to recover from the bladder and vaginal infections.

Gums are red and/or swollen - Gums pull away from teeth:

If your gums are tender, red and/or swollen this could be a sign of diabetes. Your teeth could become loose as the gums pull away from them.

Sexual dysfunction among men:

If you are over 50 and experience frequent or constant sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction), it could be a symptom of diabetes.

Numbness or tingling, especially in your feet and hands

If there is too much sugar in your body your nerves could become damaged, as could the tiny blood vessels that feed those nerves. You may experience tingling and/or numbness in your hands and feet.
