Thanks for using the forum.

The usual symptoms of diabetes are  frequent urination, thirst, blurred vision, feeling tired, cuts/bruises that are slow to heal, frequent infections and numbness and tingling in the distal extremities. Some of these match up with the symptoms that you are experiencing. However, your symptoms are also common with many other ailments. I would suggest seeing your doctor. Your doctor can examine you and evaluate your history  and lab values to find what is most likely causing your symptoms.

Good luck. I hope you are feeling better soon.

Some of those symptoms are diabetic  but also fit many many other diseases.

The ONLY way to tell is to see an MD for blood tests
i.e.
BG
A1c
GTT
