Description:

Dr. Bob Martin and Dr. Shannon Oates, an endocrinologist, discuss diabetes. Early warning signs of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, blurry vision, and headache. Certain ethnicity as well as people with family history are at increased risk. Lifestyle changes can decrease your risk of diabetes, decreasing your body weight, increasing the amount of exercise and a balanced diet can help.

I think that it is misleading to suggest that the symptoms listed--or any symptoms, for that matter--are early indicators of diabetes. They suggest fairly severe elevations of the blood glucose occurring rather recently. It is important for people to understand that diabetes can only be diagnosed at its early stages by blood testing.
