I want to know what is the symptom of sugar. If I do not want to go for a test due to some reasons and to confirm that I have that sugar issue because my age is just 23.

Question

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. Diabetes usually does not produce easily recognisable symptoms. That is why may persons are unable to know that they have diabetes. Almost 46 % people out of 100 diabetics fail to recognise it. Those with positive family history of diabetes have to be more careful. Classical symptoms include excess urination, excess thirst, excess hunger, unexplained weight loss, tiredness. Only way to identify is to check blood glucose level. Thanks.
