In addition to the well-known symptoms of diabetes such as frequent urination, excessive thirst, and fatigue, there are several lesser-known symptoms that may also occur such as tingling or numbness in the hands and feet. This kind of feeling is usually due to nerve damage as a result of the diabetes. Other kinds of symptoms include; slow healing of wounds, blurred vision, recurring infections, erectile dysfunction as well as skin changes that include, itching and skin darkening. It is important to note that not everyone with diabetes will experience all of these symptoms, and some people may not experience any symptoms at all. Therefore, it is important to get regular check-ups and blood tests to monitor blood sugar levels and overall health.
