There is basically two types of diabetes - Type 1 and Type 2. There is another kind called gestational diabetes, but it only occurs in pregnant women.

Type 1 diabetes is mostly genetic and is caused by a decrease in insulin produced in the body. Type 2 diabetes on the other hand is caused by resistance in the body to insulin, which could be caused due to many factors, including lifestyle changes. There are various signs of high blood sugar, but some of them can be difficult to detect in a pre-diabetic stage. If you experience any sign of high blood sugar, then it is very important that you get yourself check as soon as possible to avoid any complications later on.

Here are some of the most obvious sign or symptoms of high blood sugar-

-Feeling thirsty all the time, without any obvious reason, like sickness or during exercising.
-Feeling hungry all the time, in-spite of eating regularly.
-Frequent urination, specially during the night.
-Feeling tired or fatigued after eating meals is another very good sign of sugar problems.
