find and explain five symptoms of diabetes
user
five common symptoms of diabetes are: 
1. increased thirst and frequent urination: the increase in thirst is caused by a high level of glucose in the blood. this causes the body to attempt to rid itself of the excess glucose by producing more urine.
2. blurred vision: high levels of glucose in the body can be toxic, leading to damage to the lens of the eye, resulting in blurred vision.
3. fatigue: high glucose levels can disrupt the body’s ability to convert food into energy, resulting in fatigue.
4. slow-healing wounds: diabetes can cause damage to small blood vessels and nerve fibers, impeding the body’s wound healing ability.
5. unintended weight loss: as the body is unable to process glucose without insulin, it may begin to burn fat and muscle for energy, resulting in weight loss.
