Frequent urination, excessive thirst, feeling very tired, blurred vision, dry and itchy skin, nausea, sudden weight loss, tingling in the hands and feet, sores that are slow to heal and hunger.

Should diabetics eat less meals during the day to help control their blood glucose levels?
Diabetics have optimal control of their glucose when they eat frequent, small meals. Skipping meals and fasting can actually cause their blood glucose to go up.
