Type 2 diabetes is the most common form in adults. Blood glucose may rise gradually, so symptoms can be mild or absent for a long time.
Frequently reported signs
- Frequent urination and constant thirst
- Increased hunger and fatigue
- Tingling in feet or hands
- Recurrent infections and slow-healing wounds
- Blurred vision
Many adults learn about type 2 diabetes through routine blood tests. See also prediabetes and diagnostic tests overview.
Seek clinical evaluation if several signs apply or you have strong risk factors.
