Type 2 Symptoms

Unlike type 1 diabetes, which usually has a sudden onset of symptoms, the signs of type 2 diabetes are often gradual. The first symptoms that some people experience may be those from complications of the disease, such as blurry vision or foot pain. Not everyone with type 2 diabetes has symptoms in the early stages.

Type 2 diabetes symptoms include:

    * Excessive thirst and frequent urination
    * Extreme hunger
    * Fatigue, or a feeling of being "run down" and tired
    * Blurred vision
    * Dry, itchy skin
    * Tingling or burning pain in the feet, legs, hands, or other body parts
    * High blood pressure
    * Mood swings or depression
    * Frequent infections, such as urinary tract infections, yeast infections, and skin infections
    * Slow healing of cuts and bruises

If you're experiencing any type 2 diabetes symptoms, please contact your doctor immediately for medical evaluation.
