1. Excessive thirst and urination

• In general, people with diabetes have excessive urination due to the amount of blood sugar levels in excess. Because excessive, then the body is stimulated to secrete excess sugar levels through the kidney with urine.
• Usually, people with diabetes are excessive urination occurs at night, especially during night sleep, thereby reducing the quality of sleep. This is because blood sugar levels are relatively high at night than during the day.
• While the symptoms of excessive thirst is the impact of the body too much in passing urine. But actually it is the body's attempt to avoid lack of fluids (dehydration).
• During blood sugar levels have not been controlled well, then there will be constant desire to drink. In contrast with much drinking will lead to the desire to urinate.

 2. Unusual weight loss

• Without realizing it, people with diabetes will experience weight loss with no known cause obvious.
• In diabetics, weight loss due to the removal of most of the sugar in the blood to the kidneys via the urine system. Whereas the sugar in the blood is the result of the digestion of food in the stomach.

4. Increased appetite

7. Nerve damage

• Diabetics also suffered nerve damage, because diabetes can damage the nervous system.
• Damage to the nervous system resulting in the disruption of blood flow around the system of nerve cells as well as in the eyes and kidneys.

There are three types of nerves damaged by diabetes, which is damage to the motor nerve, sensory and autonomic.

In addition to the symptoms of diabetes in men above, there are also some symptoms that can be observed individually as fatigue, dry mouth and headache.
