Bethesda's Premier Type 2 Diabetes Center

When you have this disease, your body does a poor job turning the carbohydrates in food into energy, causing sugar to build up in your blood. Over time it raises your risk for heart disease, blindness, nerve and organ damage, as well as other serious conditions. It strikes people of all ages, and early symptoms are mild. About one out of three people with type 2 diabetes don’t know they have it, as people with type 2 diabetes often have no symptoms. One of the first symptoms to appear may be a seemingly unquenchable thirst. Others include dry mouth, bigger appetite, peeing a lot — sometimes as often as every hour — and unusual weight loss or gain. As your blood sugar levels increase, you may experience other problems like headaches, blurred vision, and fatigue. In many cases, type 2 diabetes isn’t discovered until it takes a serious toll on your health. Some red flags include:

Cuts or sores that are slow to heal
Frequent yeast infections or urinary tract infections
Itchy skin, especially in the groin area
