What are the Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes has a host of symptoms beyond the more commonly known symptoms, like weight gain and increased thirst. If you’re experiencing symptoms of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, reach out to your doctor. They can schedule some labs to see if your blood glucose is elevated.
Type 2 diabetes symptoms include:
- Fatigue
- Increased thirst and dry mouth
- Increased urination
- Frequent vaginal or urinary infections
- Erectile dysfunction
- Increased hunger
- Neuropathy (numbness, tingling in feet and hands)
- Blurred vision
- Slow-healing sores or frequent infections
- Weight gain
It is important to keep an eye out for symptoms of prediabetes so you can take action before it progresses to type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes symptoms include:
- Feeling tired and hungry all the time
- Poor sleep
- Difficulty focusing
- Neuropathy (numbness, tingling in feet and hands)
- Skin darkens in the neck, armpits, and skin folds
- Developing many small skin tags
- Weight gain, particularly around the waist
