Symptoms of type 2 diabetes
The most common symptoms of type 2 diabetes are:
- feeling very tired

- losing weight without trying to
Other symptoms can include:
- blurred vision
- cuts or wounds taking longer to heal
- itching around your penis or vagina, or you keep getting thrush
These symptoms are the same for both adults and children. If you get symptoms (not everyone gets them), they may develop gradually.
Preventative measures include regular health checks and getting support to be active, eating healthily and maintain a healthy weight. You may need to take insulin and check your blood sugars regularly.
