What Symptoms Should Be Observed Before Diagnosing Diabetes?

I am a 55 yo female. Over the last two years or so, I have had an unsatisfiable appetite for sweets, primarily chocolate. Some days I may eat WAY too much. I am concerned about what this may do to my health. There is no history of diabetes in my family, but wonder if I can induce it by my sugar intake. While I am trying to be more disciplined, what would be some diabetes indicators I need to watch for?
