Diabetes symptoms can develop slowly, and some people have no symptoms at first.

Common signs include increased thirst, frequent urination, unusual fatigue, blurred vision, slow healing cuts, and unexplained weight loss. A simple blood test can check for diabetes.

Pin Tip

Ask your doctor about screening if you have risk factors or symptoms.

Work With Your Care Team

This pin shares general health information, not medical advice. Diabetes care is personal, so follow the targets, medications, and meal plan set by your doctor, diabetes educator, or dietitian.

Know the Emergency Signs

Call 911 if someone with diabetes becomes confused, cannot stay awake, has a seizure, or cannot safely swallow. Seek urgent care for very high blood sugar with vomiting, deep rapid breathing, or a fruity breath odor.

Quick Reminder

Keep your diabetes supplies, snacks, and emergency contact information together in one easy to grab kit.
