The symptoms of type 2 diabetes usually develop over a much longer period (several years) than in patients with type 1 diabetes. For a long time there are no or only minor symptoms such as increased thirst, malaise, increased susceptibility to infection, itching, fatigue and dizziness. Therefore, the type 2 diabetes often remains undetected for long. Sometimes only have secondary illnesses point to the metabolic disorder.
This can cause the following symptoms:
- Poorly healing wounds, especially on the legs or feet
- Deterioration of vision (retinopathy)
- Nerve damage with tingling and numbness in the legs (polyneuropathy)
- Heart attack
