Wt. loss, freq urine: The classic symptoms are frequent urination, increased thirst, increased appetite with no weight gain and often weight loss. In addition you can get blurred vision, in women frequent vaginal infections. Slow healing infections etc. It is important to know that many people have no definite symptoms at first so it is important to be checked for diabetes regularly if you are at high risk for it.

Overall unwell: On top of feeling thirsty and urinating a lot, you may also feel very tired, and have blurry vision. Diabetes is easily diagnosed with simple bloodwork, so if you have the above symptoms, or think you are at risk (have family member with diabetes, or bmi >25), just ask your pcp.
