Diabetes Signs in Women

You may be wondering if it is possible for men and women to have different symptoms of diabetes. Apart from the known diabetes signs there are a few additional diabetes signs in women. These diabetes signs are not commonly known and may be considered harmless, but don’t be fooled; we draw the line between diabetes signs in women and men.

Symptoms of Diabetes: Diabetes Signs That Are Common to Men and Women:

Increase in thirst
Increase in appetite
Frequent urination
Tiredness
Weight loss and weight gain
Nausea or vomiting
Dry mouth
Vision loss
Itchy skin
Slow healing

Diabetes Signs in Women:

Vaginal infection
Yeast infection
Affects hormonal functioning
May develop polycystic ovarian syndrome
Depression
Higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than men

Diabetes signs in women often go unnoticed and must not be misunderstood. A medical professional can pinpoint if these diabetes signs are curable conditions or the diabetes signs can actually lead to diabetes.
