Type 2 diabetes often has no symptoms. If symptoms are present, they often develop gradually and go unnoticed until problems occur. In fact, many people have type 2 diabetes and don't even know it. Early diagnosis and treatment for type 2 diabetes is important. See your doctor or healthcare professional immediately if you experience any of the following symptoms:
Extreme thirst
Frequent urination
Extreme hunger
Unexplained weight loss
Unexplained fatigue
Blurry vision
Tinglingor numbness in the hands, feet, or legs
Itchy skin
Frequent infections of the skin, gums, vagina, or bladder
Slow healing of cuts and scrapes
If you learn that you have type 2 diabetes and diet and exercise are not enough, treatments are available that may help you control your blood sugar levels.
