Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms
Your body needs carbohydrates to keep it going. Carbohydrates, a form of energy, are broken down into a simple sugar called glucose, which every cell in your body needs to survive. Glucose passes from the small intestine into the bloodstream. Cells require the hormone insulin, produced by the pancreas, which allows glucose to pass from the blood into cells.
The most common form of diabetes is type 2 diabetes. Symptoms include frequent urination, fatigue or nausea, unusual thirst, blurred vision, weight loss, frequent infections, and slow healing of sores and wounds.
