Type 2 diabetes is a gradual syndrome with the signs of diabetes developing over years. Although the person may experience excessive urination and thirst, there may be no other apparent diabetic signs. Weight loss and hunger may go unnoticed. For this reason, annual screening for the disease after age 45 is a good idea, especially for anyone who is in a high-risk category.

As Type 2 diabetes progresses, some diabetes symptoms may become apparent:
clear clear

* fatigue and/or nausea
* frequent urination
* excessive thirst
* weight loss
* blurred vision
* frequent infections and slow healing of wounds or sores
* blood pressure consistently at or above 140/90
* HDL cholesterol less than 35 mg/dL or triglycerides greater than 250 mg/dL
* a history of abnormal glucose tolerance test results


Must have been the beer, coffee and lots of coke, don't worry please. These are all natural diuretics.
