Are the symptoms of diabetes the symptoms of high blood sugar?

by Symptom Advice on January 28, 2011

What I mean is, do you ONLY have the symptoms of diabetes (peeing often, drinking often etc.) if you have high blood sugar?

High blood sugar or hyperglycemia and low blood sugar or hypoglycemia have practically the same effects when they are very high or very low. these are cold sweat, and if not prevented on time, dizziness and then blackout. Both are dangerous situations. now, with regards your question, the symptoms that you mentioned (peeing often, drinking often, etc.) are indicative of high blood sugar but are not exclusive as low sugar could give conflicting results.

Well there is hypoglycemia, which could be a type of diabetes, which is low blood sugar instead of high. so you could have the symptoms of diabetes if you have low blood sugar too.

I am pretty much an expert at diabetes because my brother has type 1.
