10 Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms

Symptom #7: Weight Loss
Weight gain or loss is a simple matter of how many calories you take on, and how many you burn off. Any excess energy is stored as fat to be used by the body at a later time. Conversely, a deficit of energy will lead to fat reserves being depleted. In people with type 2 diabetes, this can mean sudden and unplanned weight loss.
In people with type 2 diabetes, it happens because the patient is not able to get sufficient energy from their food. While weight loss might sound like a good thing to some people, it can be very dangerous to your health if it happens too quickly. It is a symptom that should definitely encourage you to see a doctor.
