Symptoms NOTReliable: Symptoms vary considerably from person to person + the basis for them also very variable, thus not at all reliable. Best get a blood sample for hemoglobin a1c which reflects av. Glucose looking back 2-3 months. Optimal is 5.0% (av. Glucose 100 mg/dl), dm is considered 6.5% (av. Glucose 154 mg/dl). A simple spot glucose value (esp. Fasting, most commonly done) is of low value; changes rapidly.

Diabetes Type 2: Type 2 diabetes symptoms may develop slowly. In fact, you can have type 2 diabetes for years and not know it. Look for: increased thrust and frequent urination, increased hunger, weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, slow healing sores or frequent infections, and darkened skin.
