A true and accurate diagnosis of diabetes can be made ONLY by proper blood tests, ordered by a doctor. Diabetes has MANY symptoms, but all of them COULD be caused by some other disease or condition. For example, tingling in the feet or hands is a symptom if diabetes, but it is ALSO a symptom of a pinched nerve. Urinating a lot is a symptom of diabetes, but that also happens if you eat certain foods like asparagus or watermelon. Diabetes can be diagnoses ONLY through blood tests

I agree with Gary B, however when I was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 9, I had weight loss, constant wanting the toilet and constant thirst but every diabetic is different like every person is different, If concerned go and get a test done at the doctors, Good Luck

Diabetes is diagnosed by; Fasting Plasma Glucose Test (FPG), Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) & Random plasma glucose test. These test can be used to diagnose pre-diabetes or diabetes. FPG is easier, faster, and less expensive to perform. For more details on diabetes causes, types, symptoms, organ responsible for it, diagnose, risk, medications and alternative medicines.

I am going to assume you are a nursing student, if I am wrong please disregard all of this... I'm a first semester nursing student so I would double check but I am looking up the same thing. My nursing Dx book says: Impaired Nutrition: less then body requirement, deficient knowledge, there are others of course. These don't actually help me because none`1 of the which are the case for my patient. It is hard to say though because you need some s/s and the type of diabetes your pt. has. If you want a good answer try the website Allnurses.com You need to mention s/s and "SOAP" data, meds, labs, ect. They will flat out tell you that they won't "do" your homework so have a little more info to give... Hope I was some help.
