Learn the symptoms of diabetes. If you're exhibiting any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor and make an appointment to have your blood glucose levels checked.
Increased Thirst & Urination
As glucose levels in the blood rise, the kidneys attempt to filter it from your blood. When there is too much glucose in the blood the kidneys eventually can’t keep up. The excess glucose is excreted into your urine along with fluids from your body. This causes more frequent urination as your body attempts to expel the glucose. You become chronically dehydrated and the urge to drink more becomes increased.
