Often the symptoms of diabetes go unnoticed because they can be similar to other illnesses or seem harmless. Some of the possible warning signs include:

• Excessive thirst
• Extreme hunger
• Frequent urination
• Unusual weight loss
• Blurry vision
• Irritability
• Increased fatigue

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, make an appointment to see your doctor right away. You can also take an online Diabetes risk test provided by the American Diabetes Association.
