What are the Symptoms?

Some people don't have any symptoms, especially when diabetes is diagnosed very early. This is likely because the blood sugar level may go up so slowly that a person may not be aware that anything is wrong. Other people might have symptoms, such as:

  • Being very thirsty.
  • Urinating a lot.
  • Losing weight without trying.
  • Having blurry vision.
  • Feeling hungrier or more tired than usual.

At times people find out that he or she has type 2 diabetes during a regular medical checkup. People may find out that they have the disease during a regular appointment for another health problem like blood pressure for instance, an infection, or a wound that heals slowly. Some people don't find out that they have diabetes until they have a complication from the disease, such as kidney disease, vision problems, heart and blood vessel problems, or heart disease.
