10 Things that you probably did not know about Diabetes # 5

Do you know Type 2 Diabetes symptoms?

What is Type 2 Diabetes?

Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycemia. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels.

Type 2 Diabetes often does not have any symptoms, you can have T2D for year and not know it, so look for:

• Areas of darkened skin;

• Increased thirst and frequent urination;

• Slow-healing sores or frequent infections;

• Blurred vision;

• Fatigue;

• Weigh loss;

• Increased hunger.
