Some common symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst and urination, increased hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, numbness or tingling in the feet or hands, sores that do not heal, unexplained weight loss (for type 1 diabetes), or gradual weight gain (for type 2 diabetes) . These symptoms are caused by high or low blood sugar levels, which can damage various organs and tissues in the body.

You can manage your blood sugar levels by following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, monitoring your blood sugar, taking your diabetes medications as prescribed, and staying hydrated . A healthy diet includes foods that are low in carbohydrates, high in fiber, and moderate in protein and fat. Exercise helps your body use insulin more efficiently and lower your blood sugar. Monitoring your blood sugar helps you detect and treat any fluctuations. Diabetes medications help your body produce or use insulin better. Hydration helps prevent dehydration and flush out excess glucose from your blood.

Insulin injections can have some side effects, such as low blood sugar, injection site reactions, weight gain, headache, lipodystrophy, and edema . Low blood sugar can cause symptoms such as shakiness, sweating, dizziness, confusion, hunger, and fast heartbeat. Injection site reactions can cause redness, swelling, itching, or pain. Weight gain can occur because insulin helps your body store glucose as fat. Headache can be a sign of low or high blood sugar. Lipodystrophy is a condition where the fat tissue under the skin becomes abnormal, either shrinking or growing. Edema is swelling in the arms and legs due to fluid retention.
