Up to two-thirds of people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms. If present, the most common ones are:
increased production of urine (the body is trying to get rid of the excess glucose in the urine)
unusual thirst
tiredness (because the glucose is "going to waste" and not being converted into energy)
loss of weight
increased appetite
feeling sick
blurred vision
infections such as thrush or irritation of the genitals
Some people simply feel a bit unwell or assume they are just ageing.
Signs and tests
Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed with the following blood tests:
Fasting blood glucose level -- diabetes is diagnosed if higher than 126 mg/dL on two occasions.
Random (non-fasting) blood glucose level -- diabetes is suspected if higher than 200 mg/dL and accompanied by the classic symptoms of increased thirst, urination, and fatigue. (This test must be confirmed with a fasting blood glucose test.)
Oral glucose tolerance test -- diabetes is diagnosed if glucose level is higher than 200 mg/dL after 2 hours.
