Diabetes (Type 2)

Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

The signs and symptoms of diabetes can vary from surprisingly few symptoms to quite a number for other people. Diabetes is a complex disease and it can be difficult to diagnose in the early stages. Symptoms for type 2 diabetes are often mild.

The classic signs are:

  • increased thirst;
  • passing more urine (going to the toilet more often);
  • passing urine throughout the night;
  • blurred vision; and
  • a lack of energy or tiredness.


Other signs include repeated bacterial infections such as urinary infections and/or repeated fungal infections such as genital candidiasis (thrush). Deteriorating vision is often associated with diabetes and foot ulcers are another common sign. Men may also experience impotence associated with diabetes.
