Toilet: Going to the toilet more often than usual, especially needing to get up during the night to pass urine.
Thirsty: Feeling thirsty all the time and being unable to quench your thirst, no matter how much you drink.
Tired: Feeling much more tired than usual without a clear reason (fatigue).
Thinner: Losing weight without trying to.
