Still, if these signs happen repeatedly or appear together, it is worth asking a healthcare professional about blood sugar testing. Diabetes is diagnosed with medical tests, not symptoms alone.
1. Frequent Urination at Night
One of the most common diabetes symptoms is urinating more often than usual. At night, this may mean waking once, twice, or several times to use the bathroom.
When blood sugar is high, the kidneys work harder to remove extra glucose from the blood. This can increase urine production and disturb sleep. The CDC lists frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, fatigue, and numbness or tingling in the hands or feet among common diabetes symptoms.
