No clear symptoms: People don't realize they are drinking more, eating more and peeing more until someone brings their attention to it.A good reason to get a physical now and again.Obesity is a primary cause of diabetes mellitus and there is a lot of that around us.Get a hba1c for a better look at your real sugars for the last few months.
