Hi DiabetesResearcher, Some common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, and increased hunger. You might also experience blurry vision, fatigue, and slow healing sores. However, these symptoms can be associated with other conditions as well. It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis.

Absolutely, early detection can make a big difference in managing diabetes. In addition to the symptoms mentioned earlier, having high blood pressure or being overweight can also increase your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. It's always a good idea to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to help reduce the risk.

I understand that it can be concerning to think about the possibility of having a chronic condition like diabetes. But remember, managing diabetes is possible with the right tools and support. There are many resources available to help you learn about diabetes management and blood sugar control. Stay positive and take care of yourself!
