- Frequent urination during the night
- Increased thirst
- Dry mouth
- Night sweats (in some cases, especially with low blood sugar episodes)
- Feeling unusually tired despite sleeping
- Increased hunger
- Tingling or numbness in hands or feet
- Slow-healing cuts or skin issues

These symptoms are not specific to diabetes, and some people with diabetes have no noticeable symptoms. If someone has concerns, a healthcare professional can use blood tests such as A1C or fasting glucose to help assess blood sugar levels.
