Diabetes can exist without external physical indications. Usually, by the time they show up, damage has already been done to the body. If you believe you might have diabetes, you should see your physician for testing.

Physical characteristics that can lead to diabetes are:

* Abdominal obesity (excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen) * High triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol

* Elevated blood pressure * Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance (the body can't properly use insulin or blood sugar) * Lack of exercise However, these are not necessarily present in all cases. My brother is 6'5", and has never weighed more than 180 lbs in his life. He is an insulin-dependent diabetic.
