Fatigue, thirst, frequent urination, weight lost, itchy genital area, ants crawling around your toilet bowl, wounds or cuts that either refuse to or take a long time to heal. Best get an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) as it's the most accurate in diagnosing Diabetes.

Frequent urination : lead to dehydration because excreting the sugar carries a large amount of water out of the body along with it. Unexplained weight loss occurs also because of losing sugar and water in the urine and the accompanying dehydration. weight loss occurs because body is unable to use those calories even tough consuming appropriate diet or even in excess amounts. Extreme hunger or excessive eating : higher insulin levels lead to increased hunger and eating. one of the functions of the insulin is to stimulate hunger resulting. person might gain little or no weight despite excessive eating. body secretes more insulin to cope with increased sugar levels if body is able to produce insulin. Sudden vision changes : might be there with high blood sugar. Feeling very tired much of the time : the body is inefficient and sometimes unable to use glucose for fuel and the body uses body fat, partially or completely, as a fuel source. this process requires the body to use more energy resulting fatigueness or constantly tired. Very dry skin : because of dehydration and frequent urination resulting in loss of water from the body along with various salts. Sores that are slow to heal : when white blood cells don't function properly, wounds take much longer to heal. high blood sugar levels prevent white blood cells to protect the body against infections preventing rapid healing. More infections than usual : Infections: infections such as infections of the genitals, skin infections may result from suppression of the immune system by diabetes. and the glucose in the tissues allows bacteria to grow. diabetes also cause tingling (eg feeling like crawling of ants over the skin) or numbness in hands or feet, and pain in the feet, legs and hands by damaging nerves in the limbs, Excessive thirst : person with diabetes develops high blood sugar levels and the body tries to counteract this by diluting the blood, which translates into thirst and the body encourages more water consumption to dilute the high blood sugar back to normal levels and to compensate for the water lost by excessive urination. Altered mental status: irritability, inattention, confusion or lethargy, or can all be signs of very high blood sugar or low blood sugar.
