Symptoms: Heavy sweating not caused by temperature or exercise.

WHY: The hyperglycemia (high blood glucose) caused by diabetes interferes with the nervous system which manages the ability to sweat appropriately.

Symptoms: The average person usually pee between 4 and 7 times in 24 hours, but people with diabetes go pee more frequently.When you're peeing so much, you may get very thirsty.

WHY: Diabetes pushes your blood sugar up so that your kidneys may not bring glucose all back as it passes through your kidneys. This causes your body to make more urine.


7. Slow-healing sores or cuts
