High blood sugar levels can cause osmotic changes in the lens of the eye, leading to temporary changes in vision.
Fatigue and Weakness
Inadequate glucose reaching cells impairs energy production, leading to fatigue and weakness.
Weight Changes
Uncontrolled diabetes causes unintended weight loss as the body breaks down muscle and fat for energy when glucose cannot get into cells.
Polyphagia
Without enough insulin or insulin resistance, cells can't take up glucose, causing cellular starvation and intense hunger called polyphagia.

As a consequence of polyuria, excessive urination leads to dehydration, causing a persistent feeling of thirst known as polydipsia.
Polyuria
High blood sugar causes excess glucose in kidneys, leading to polyuria.
