Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms
Type 2 diabetes symptoms differ slightly from symptoms of type 1 diabetes.
Both conditions are lifelong – that is, once symptoms of diabetes have developed into the condition, the body will then be unable to regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.

Although the top diabetes signs and symptoms are shared by all people with diabetes, type 2 diabetes does exhibit some specific symptoms.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes
Unfortunately, many people who have type 2 diabetes show little or no symptoms of the condition.
Type 2 diabetes is often diagnosed accidentally following routine medical examinations, or screening tests for non-related conditions.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes may include:
- Frequent urination to an excessive level
- Constantly feeling thirsty
- Constantly feeling tired
- Vision blurring
- Itching of the skin, particularly around genitals
- Sudden weight change
How long does it take to develop type 2 symptoms?
Type 2 diabetes symptoms may be very minor for a long time, and suddenly become more serious.
This is why type 2 diabetes often goes unnoticed for many years.
