The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:
- excessive thirst
- frequent or increased urination, especially at night
- excessive hunger
- fatigue
- blurry vision
- sores or cuts that won’t heal
If you experience any of these symptoms on a regular basis, talk to your doctor. They may recommend that you be tested for diabetes, which is performed with a basic blood draw. Routine diabetes screening normally starts at age 45.
However, it might start earlier if you are:
- overweight
- sedentary
- affected by high blood pressure, now or when you were pregnant
- from a family with a history of type 2 diabetes
- from an ethnic background that has a higher risk of type 2 diabetes
- at higher risk due to high blood pressure, low good cholesterol levels, or high triglyceride levels
