Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes Print E-mail
Diabetes occurs when the body is not able to use sugar as it should for growth and energy. High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all.
