When You See These 4 Conditions While Walking, Be Alert for Diabetes

This point is essential.

Fatigue, leg pain, tingling, cramps, and foot wounds have many possible causes. Experiencing one of them does **not** mean you have diabetes.

Likewise, some people with type 2 diabetes have symptoms so mild that they may not notice anything unusual at all.

The only reliable way to determine whether diabetes or prediabetes is present is through appropriate medical testing.

## Other Common Diabetes Symptoms

Diabetes may cause symptoms that have nothing to do with walking.

Common signs include:

* frequent urination
* increased thirst
* increased hunger
* unusual fatigue
* blurry vision
* wounds that heal slowly
* frequent infections.

Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands or feet is particularly associated with type 2 diabetes.
