Diabetes: The primary initial signs of diabetes are an insatiable thirst, polyuria (frequent urination), and polyphagia (increased appetite.) if you these signs and are worried about diabetes, you should visit your doctor and they can run tests as simple as a blood glucose test initially to determine if more tests are warranted.
