What are common symptoms of diabetes?

Staying thirsty all of the time and not being able to get enough to drink and you also feel drowsy and urine would be bright orange in color.

If you are really concerned, I would strongly recommend seeing a doctor. I understand it's annoying and costs money, but I do think it's worth the hassle especially since your family has a history of it. Anyways good luck and I hope you're not actually diagnosed with it.

As I looked for the common signs and symptoms of diabetes in the internet and there are lots of them and you can't even tell if it's really diabetes that is causing it and different persons have different signs and symptoms. Diabetes also runs in our family, thank God I don't have diabetes for now. My mother's symptoms when she first acquired diabetes was she is always craving for sweets and she gained a lot of weight. To some people they lose weight as a sign of diabetes. I also sometimes feel funny like i'm getting constipated, frequently urinating and some muscle pains but i found out that the only cure for all of these bad feelings is exercise and a healthy diet, for some reason i felt cured already try it for a week just include a healthy diet also and if you are still feeling funny then I would suggest to consult a doctor for your peace of mind.

I am a type 2 diabetic and believe it or not sometimes there are no symptoms. I for one noticed that I was craving sweets more often than usual. Then when I was in a car accident I found out that I was a diabetic when I had my blood checked in the ER. That was over seven years ago. My doctor said it was "the silent killer". I did a lot of research and quizzed the doctors about this disease then made a blog about it last year. If you want some facts and the most common symptoms about this disease you can read my lens at Squidoo. It also has some myths that people still think are true but from my research they are just old wives tales. http://www.squidoo.com/sixapart/Diabetes I also have one that has some recipes for diabetics or for people who just want to lose some weight. You will find a link to it on this lens.

Migraines can come from many sources, to incluide a toxic liver/bad digestion..or even a brain cyst, etc..Possibly even High Blood pressure or..just stress. Diabetes ... a person tends to be thirsty alot, pee more, etc..lathargic/tired In the ned..you should NOT be asking here. You should be seeing a doctor that can diagnose you properly. Get there.

I advise you to read my article "The Layman's Guide to Diabetes" at http://homeremedies-ak.blogspot.com to know about diabetes in very simple language. Regarding the symptoms you mentioned, I do not think you can link them to diabetes but since it is running in your family, you are predisposed to it. Migrain once started does not get cured by allopathy medicines. Yes, you can prevent it by taking half a tab everyday if it is very frequent. More weight means more health problems. Remember, 1 kg weight adds another 1000 kms of blood vessels in your body and your heart has to do that much extra work. Since you have a good will power, you can reduce your weight and prevent regaining it.
