There is a chance that you could have Type 2 diabetes without being aware of it, so looking out for these three early signs could be your best bet.
The reason behind this is that some of the symptoms do not necessarily make you feel unwell, so you may not associate them with being sick.
Here are three symptoms that you should keep an eye out for if you're in any way concerned you may be at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
The Health Service Executive in Ireland has listed a number of symptoms that you could show signs of Type 2 diabetes.
- feeling thirsty all the time - drinking excessive amounts of liquids or unable to quench your thirst
- peeing more than usual, particularly at night
- feeling tired, lack of energy, sleeping more than usual
They also said to be wary of losing weight without trying to, which is in fact a sign of a number of other sicknesses, so that in particular is a concerning sign.
There are also a number of people who may be most at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, including people over the age of 45, obese people, or those with a family member who has diabetes.
This list includes:
- are physically inactive - for example, if you take less than 30 minutes of physical activity most days
- have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, low HDL cholesterol or high triglycerides
- have a history of heart disease
- have a medical condition that requires long-term steroid use
