• Frequent urination: Excess sugar in the blood leads to increased urine production, causing frequent urination (polyuria).
• Excessive thirst: Frequent urination can result in dehydration, leading to increased thirst (polydipsia).
• Unexplained weight loss: Despite increased appetite, people with diabetes may lose weight due to the body’s inability to properly utilize glucose for energy.
• Fatigue: Insufficient insulin or poorly controlled diabetes can lead to fatigue and lack of energy.
• Blurred vision: High blood sugar levels can cause changes in the shape of the lens of the eye, resulting in blurred vision.
• Slow healing of wounds: Diabetes can impair the body’s ability to heal wounds, increasing the risk of infections and delayed healing.
• Recurrent infections: Elevated blood sugar levels can weaken the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections, particularly urinary tract infections, skin infections, and fungal infections.

It’s important to note that symptoms can vary, and some individuals may not experience noticeable symptoms. Regular check-ups and blood sugar monitoring are essential for early detection and effective management of diabetes. Treatment plans typically involve a combination of medication, lifestyle modifications (such as healthy eating, regular physical activity, and weight management), and self-care practices to maintain optimal blood sugar control and minimize the risk of complications.
