Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms

What are the Warning Signs?

Type 2 diabetes symptoms can be very gradual, unlike the more sudden onset that can occur with type 1 diabetes. Often people dismiss the symptoms as they can be subtle and do not appear overly harmful. Unfortunately, the longer you go without treatment, the more damage and complications can occur.

Type 2 common warning signs are:

• Increased thirst and Urination
• Increased Hunger
• Weight Loss
• Blurred Vision
• Extreme Fatigue
• Tingling or Numbness in the Hands or Feet
• Very Dry Skin
• Slow healing Sores or Wounds
• Increased Infections

Like any serious health condition, if you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is best that you consult immediately with your health care provider.

Additionally, many people experience very few or none of the above signs of diabetes.

If you are overweight or have other risk factors for diabetes, talk to your doctor about a proactive screening.
