Diabetes Symptoms
Many people with type 2 diabetes never show any signs. But some people do show symptoms. The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are:
- Greater need to urinate
- Frequent hunger or thirst
- Weight loss
- Blurred vision
- Tingling/numbness in hands or feet
- Feeling tired
- Very dry skin
- Slow-healing sores
- Infections
These symptoms are caused by high blood sugar. Some may seem minor. With time, they can lead to much more serious health problems. But, if you manage your blood sugar now, you may reduce your risk of complications from diabetes later.
