It is estimated that over 25% of Americans do not know that they have diabetes. Since type 2 diabetes often does not present any symptoms in the early stages it is difficult to be aware of it. Type 1 diabetes often presents rapid, severe symptoms

Most of the diabetes symptoms arise due to the fact that there is excess sugar in the blood creating a deficiency of glucose in the cells. Some symptoms of diabetes to look out for are:

• Excessive thirst and hunger
• Very frequent urination
• Weakness
• Loss of weight without trying
• Numbness or tingling in hands, legs and feet
• Nausea and vomiting
• Cuts and wounds take a long time to heal
• Vision is blurry
• Dry, itchy skin
• Women get frequent vaginal infections
• Frequent yeast infections in both men and women
• Dryness in the mouth
• Rapid heartbeat
• Rapid, deep breathing - sometimes with a sweet breath (This condition requires immediate medical attention)
