The most common symtoms of diabetes is excessive thirst, sometimes itching of the genitals, extreme hunger, increased fatigue, irritability, unusual weight loss and frequent urination. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms discuss it with your doctor. The test they do is very simple, some pharmacies in the UK do the tests.

Hello dear,\n\nFirst of all you must correct the spelling of "Diabets" and "madecin" to write as "Diabetes" and "medicine" respectively.\n\nIt is fine that you are not depending on Insulin injections and your sugar level is just little more than the normal limits.  There are medicines to cure diabetes but you will not believe.  It happened with many patients of mine and they continued to suffer without taking proper medicines and not listening to my advice.\n\nIn the meantime, please try some home remedies and I am sure you will come back to me after few days for more advice.  I am available on "adam2madam@yahoo.com" and trust is must to mail me.\n\nHome Remedies:\n\n1.  Drink the juice of one bitter gourd, one cucumber and one tomato on empty stomach in the morning on a regular basis.  This will bring your sugar level down and you will feel fresh.\n\n2.  Eat lots of cucumber to get rid of your dry mouth and frequent urination, if any.  Drink lots of water.\n\n3.  Please avoid Banana, Mangoes and Apple Custard completely.  These fruits contain lots of glucose and it is very dangerous for diatebes.\n\n3.  Brisk walking is always helpful for diabetic patients.\n\n4.  Avoid sugar and ice cream.  You may add sugar free tablets to your tea or coffee.\n\n5.  Take 500 ml sugarcan vinegar bottle and put 50 raw garlic flakes into the bottle and leave it for 10 days. Eleventh day onward, take one garlic flake from the bottle with one spoon vinegar after breakfast and see the result.\n\n6.  You must eat lots of other fruits like guava, watermelon, muskmelon, apple, pineapple, papaya and dry fruits to keep your stemina up.\n\n7.  To enhance your immune system, take 300g of Indian Gooseberry powder (preferable known as Amla) and 100g of dried ginger powder.  Mix them well and store in a glass jar.  Take one spoon powder daily by mixing in a glass of water.\n\n8.  Allopathic medicine can be taken if needed.  They only supress the disease and do not cure any ailment.\nAt lost, please do not allow my efforts to go waste and let me know the progress.\n\nBest of health,

-Frequent urination, particularly at night, can also be a symptom of diabetes, but this symptom alone would not necessarily suggest the disease either. This symptom would also have to become pretty annoying and recurrent before it would prompt most people to consult a doctor. \n-Unexplained weight loss is another possible sign of diabetes but again, not a significant indication that the individual necessarily has diabetes. In many cases, people who want to lose weight would consider this an unexpected blessing and might not consult their doctor unless they had lost a considerable amount of weight over a period of time. \n-Skin infections, wounds that are slow to heal, particularly sores on the feet and ankles, and recurrent vaginal infections (in women), are signs of possible diabetes that are somewhat more likely to draw attention and result in a diagnosis. \n-Blurred vision and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet are also possible indicators of diabetes, and since these symptoms can be troublesome, are more likely to result in medical attention and diagnosis.

when you have diabetes, the kidneys work hard to remove that extra suger form the blood. so you have to urinate more often,and then the body asks for more water by making you more thirsty. so if you feel more thirsty, and urinate more often, then it is  the first sign that you have diabetes.\n\ndrinking more water will let you remove more excess  sugar,and will prevent the dryness in mouth and skin, but it will not reduce the sugar in the blood that you are adding by eating more and more food .\n\nwhat you need to know is  how high is the sugar level in the blood. Then you need to controll the sugar to an acceptable level, by medicine, by reducing food intake, and the exercise.\n\nIt is found that when we have diabetes, our body does not produce insulin. And body muscles can not use up the sugar from the blood just by doing daily routine work and we feel energyless(Lousy).\n\nBut recent studies found that regular exercise and walking at brisk speed( so you breath faster) reduces blood sugar.\n\nBut when you regularly exercise,then the muscles can

There are many.  In uncontrolled diabetes, classically seen are increased frequency of urination leading to dry mouth and excessive thirst.  Other nonspecific symptoms can occur including fatigue, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, vision changes, and numbness and tingling of the hands and feet.  All of these can be seen regardless of age, however usually diabetes at an older onset will manifest more gradually.

Need to take several blood tests for blood sugar. Start with a fasting one (12 hr fasting). Best to consult a doctor if in doubt

It is difficult to tell with out a proper sugar level test that is performed by a doctor.\n\nHere are some signs to look for:\nFeeling hot and perspiring even when it is cool and you do not have a fever.\nHeadaches that go away when you eat something\nShaking hands (like a light palsy)\nUnable to concentrate\n\nTry eating something with a small to moderate amount of sugar in it that is balanced with a high quantity of Protein.  This will usually balance your system and prevent yo-yo cures of Hypoglycemia.  If you take in only sugar, you will feel better for a short time and then usually relaspe very quickly.\n\nIf you have it, it is a great idea to cut out sodas.  After cutting out sodas from my diet, I became nearly attack free only having slight attacks maybe a couple of times a year.  I have since added sodas back into my diet, but on a very limited amount.\n\nThe symptoms you experience will be caused by too much insulin in your system and no sugar to process for energy.  The insulin can actually start attacking tissue in attempts to release energy so it is important that you get this under control if you are found to have it.

I only read the bold short initial question so don't shoot me!\n\nKetones:  When a type 1 diabetic goes a few hours without taking insulin, ketones are produced.  \nIf a type 2 diabetic is positive for ketones it may mean that the disease has progressed so that either the islet cells are not producing insulin or the target cells are completely resistent to the action of insulin.  Either way, its BAD.\n\nProtein:  Indicate that there is renal (kidney) damage from the diabetes and likely accompanying high blood pressure.

I am a nurse and I was going to tell you to get check for diabetes. But you already have. so I would also get checked for thyroid disease. they can monitor it with medicine, it is not  big deal. I would differently talk with my doctor and if he can't find what's wrong get another doctor.

There are major warning signs if diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Once the DKA is advanced the diabetic will vomit everything he or she drinks and will become severly dehydrated. They will get very dark circles and their eyes will look sunken in due to the dehydration. If DKA advances with no treatment the diabetic will go into a diabetic coma before they die. Foul play can be involved on both ends. The diabetic can not take their insulin causing their bloodsugar to shoot way up, which then causes the body to produce ketones and without giving any insulin, the body will go into DKA. On the other end someone could have messed with their diabetic supplies and put something like salt water in their insulin vile so that the diabetic thinks they are giving themselves insulin when they are not.\n     As a diabetic, I have to tell you that we know when our bloodsugar is way too high. For me, I get very thirsty and irritated and I start to feel a little sick. To make sure though, I always check my bloodsugar to see if I need to give more insulin.  If I am already sick (cold, flu, period, etc.) I tend not to notice as easy. But the fact of the matter is, for someone to die of DKA is from how they care for themselves. Very rarely is it out of the control of the diabetic to get DKA. It is very easy to detect a high blood sugar and when someone is taking proper care of themselves they should be checking their sugar enough times so that they know how high or low their blood sugar is. Diabetics know to look for expiration dates and if they fear their insulin is bad, they should get knew insulin.

I would guess some kind of food allergy before diabetes.  I am not aware of hyperglycemia causing the symptoms you described.  Having to drink fluid and pee frequently is a sign of diabetes, among others.  If DM is a concern, a fasting blood glucose level could be taken in a clinic.
