They can vary.: Many people with type 2 diabetes (the kind they get when they're an adult), have no symptoms at all. The first indication of diabetes may be getting too many yeast infections, getting sick too often, or for men, erectile dysfuction. Clasically, the symptoms for type 1 are described peeing a lot, being very thirsty, and losing weight. A simple blood test can help with the diagnosis. Cheers!
