Why didn't i have symptoms of type 2 diabetes?

See discussion: Diabetes, like other cardiovascular diseases/risks, can sometimes be "silent" until significant damage has occurred. This is why seeing a physician regularly, along with a healthy diet and regular exercise, is an important part of good, proactive care. We often discover issues that will later become big problems, but with early identification & action, prevent the big problem from ever occurring.

Give it time.: Unfortunately from a clinical standpoint diabetes doesn't usually hurt until there is injury to essential organs (eyes, kidneys, toes etc.) at which time there is significant microvascular disease. Given time the vascular changes that accompany diabetes will rear their ugly heads and you will feel it! far better to take care of it before the symptoms manifest themselves. Lab work is important!

May not be any early: Many people have diabetes for years before diagnosis--still believe to be about 8-10 yrs before diagnosis these days--because they don't have any noticeable symptoms. We often diagnosis diabetes from routine blood work and not because of symptoms. Much later when sugar is persistently above 200 (fasting), you may begin having excessive thirst and urination etc...So, see doc regularly. Good luck.

See below: Excessive urination, increased thirst, blurred vision, fatigue and weight loss are the key symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes.
