Im aware that diabetes type 2 takes years to develop, but throughout those years, when do symptoms start to show?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Type 2 DM is a stealth disease. You can develop irreversible damage in your eyes/kidneys years before you become aware of the condition and the damage they have caused. If you are concerned you are at risk get tested during an annual physical or go in specifically for testing.
