Early symptoms of diabetes in men are basically the same as those in women in children. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), they are:

Type 1 Diabetes

• Frequent urination
• Unusual thirst
• Extreme hunger
• Unusual weight loss
• Extreme fatigue and Irritability

Type 2 Diabetes

• Any of the type 1 symptoms
• Frequent infections
• Blurred vision
• Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
• Tingling/numbness in the hands/feet
• Recurring skin, gum, or bladder infections

Some people are more prone to get diabetes than others. If you understand that you may be at risk, you are more likely to notice the early symptoms of diabetes in men. You are more likely to develop diabetes if:

• You are overweight
• Your body stores fat primarily around your abdomen
• You live a sedentary lifestyle
• You have a parent or sibling with diabetes
• You are of African American, Asian American, or Hispanic descent
