7 Signs You May Have Type 2 Diabetes

Keep an eye out for these 7 symptoms – early detection may help manage diabetes better!
Increased Thirst
You might find yourself feeling unusually thirsty, even after drinking, which could indicate high blood sugar levels.
Frequent Urination
If you're urinating more often than usual, it may be a sign your kidneys are working hard to filter excess sugar.
Unusual Fatigue
Persistent tiredness that doesn’t go away with rest could mean your body is struggling to process glucose for energy.
Blurred Vision
You might experience blurred vision, as high blood sugar can pull fluid from your eyes, affecting your ability to focus.
Slow Healing Wounds
Cuts or bruises that take longer than normal to heal may suggest that your body’s ability to repair itself is compromised.
Unexplained Weight Loss
You might notice weight loss despite eating normally, as your body starts breaking down muscle and fat for energy.
Tingling or Numbness
A tingling or numb feeling in your hands or feet may be a warning sign of nerve damage, a common complication of diabetes.
If you're noticing these signs, it may be time for a blood test. Early diagnosis can help manage diabetes better.
