Frequent Urination (Polyuria)

Frequent urination is one of the first signs of diabetes, resulting from high blood glucose levels.

Excessive Thirst (Polydipsia)

With frequent urination, the body becomes dehydrated, triggering a persistent thirst. No matter how much water is consumed, this thirst may not subside because of the constant loss of fluids.
