Warning signs for diabetes

People with diabetes have too much sugar in their blood or not enough insulin to change that sugar into energy.

Here are some warning signs for diabetes:

  • Feeling hungry and/or thirsty all the time
  • Going to the bathroom a lot
  • Blurred vision
  • Feeling tired
  • Unexplained weight loss/gain
  • Cuts that heal slowly
  • Hands/feet feel tingly

Some forms of diabetes are more common in African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, as well as older people. For more information on diabetes, visit the American Diabetes Association.
