Sorry if this seems like a really stupid topic.
I'd just like to know what are some (or all) the symptoms of Diabetes?
If anyone can help that would be great!

Some say thrist, & frequent urination. However, many people are diagnosed with diabtes and have no symptoms.
A fasting glucose tes and an HA1C test will determine whether a person is diabetic or not.
Some feel weak either due to too high bloodsugar or too low. Others may feel sleepy after meals indicating more carbohydrates were consumed than the body could handle.
Best to be checked by doctor to be sure you are not diabetic. Sooner one finds out the better, can start getting a handle on control.

Cheers thats all I needed to know

Also I want to add I have been haveing Neuropathy in my arms and legs for a year and the cause has never been diagnosed. My Neurologist off handly mentioned that he had seen people with my symptoms and 5 years later they come back with Diabetes. I immediately was checked and found out I am TypeII.
