The occurrence of the following symptoms may suggest the presence of hyperglycemia.
1. Polyuria or frequent urination, particularly excessive urination
2. Polyphagia or frequent hunger, particularly distinct hunger
3. Polydipsia or frequent thirst, particularly excessive thirst
4. Fatigue
5. Poor healing of wounds
6. Weight loss

Patients, who feel distinct hunger frequently without the rest of the symptoms mentioned, may be suffering from very low blood sugar levels. This condition usually happens when diabetic people are taking in much of the oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin than is necessary. The drop in the patient’s blood glucose to a level below what is ideal prompts a sort of hunger reaction. This “hunger” symptom is rarely as distinct in the Type I diabetes, but it also makes prescribing these medications a lot harder to manage.
Acute hyperglycemia is associated with the following symptoms:
• Ketoacidosis
• Dehydration
• Damage to cognitive function, and increased anxiety
• Confusion or a reduction in the person’s consciousness level
• Acute thirst and/or hunger
