Weight loss
If you experience unexplained weight loss you can have type 2 diabetes. This happens because your body can’t absorb glucose properly. Talk to your doctor immediately if you have suddenly and unintentionally shed between 5 and 10-pounds of body weight in less than 6-months.
Blurry vision
If it’s left untreated, diabetes can lead to vision problems and even blindness. Blurred vision is a common warning sign of type 2 diabetes. You can experience blurry vision as sugar levels spike, damaging blood vessels and restricting fluid to the eyes.
Itchy and dry skin
Type 2 diabetes can affect your skin. This occurs when diabetes affects blood circulation and sweat glands become dysfunctional leading to dehydrated, itchy and irritated skin. Skin problems are often the first sign of an issue and the first indication of diabetes.
