You’re constantly running to the bathroom, especially at night
According to the UK’s National Health Service, peeing more than usual can be a sign that you’re developing type 2 diabetes.
This frequent urination can be especially noticeable at night if you find yourself waking up multiple times in order to use the bathroom.
As frequent urination can be caused by a number of different things, including urinary tract infections and pregnancy, it’s important to talk to your doctor in order to rule out other conditions.
You have numbness or tingling in your hands or feet
According to Healthline, tingling, pain, or numbness in your hands and feet is a result of diabetic neuropathy. This condition can arise when chronic high blood sugar damages the nerves that send signals to your extremities.
These sensations can get more frequent or severe over time and affect roughly 50% of people with type 2 diabetes, the site noted. If diabetic neuropathy progresses, even the lightest touch on the affected area can cause pain.
