Which of the following is a symptom of diabetes?

• A. Frequent urination
• B. Unusual thirst
• C. Hair loss
• D. Weight loss

Answer: (C)

When blood sugar is too high, the kidneys try to remove the excess glucose from the blood. Glucose in the urine pulls along water, so you end up urinating more often. That extra urination can lead to dehydration, which triggers increased thirst. If the body isn’t using insulin properly, it can’t get glucose into the cells for energy, so it starts breaking down fat and muscle for fuel, which can cause unintended weight loss. Hair loss is not a typical sign of diabetes and is usually due to other factors like stress, nutritional issues, or hormonal changes. So the classic signs to recognize are more urination, increased thirst, and weight loss.
