TYPE 2 DIABETES:
Type 2 diabetes can cause serious long-term health problems. It can be easy to miss as it develops slowly, especially in the early stages when it can be harder to spot the symptoms. If left untreated diabetes affects many major organs, including your heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes and kidneys. Being diagnosed early and controlling your blood sugar levels can help prevent these complications.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES:
• Peeing more often than usual, particularly at night
• Feeling very thirsty
• Feeling very tired
• Unexplained weight loss
• Itching around the penis or vagina, or frequent episodes of thrush
• Cuts or wounds that heal slowly
• Blurred vision – caused by the lens of the eye becoming dry

WHY DO WE GET THESE SYMPTOMS IN DIABETES:
These symptoms occur because some or all of the glucose stays in the blood, and isn’t being used as fuel for energy. The body tries to reduce blood glucose levels by flushing the excess glucose out of the body in the urine. High levels of glucose being passed in the urine are a perfect breeding ground for the fungal infection which causes thrush.

RISK FACTORS FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES:
Three of the main risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes are:
Age – Being over the age of 40 (over 25 for people of south Asian, Chinese, African-Caribbean or black African origin, even if you were born in the UK).

Genetics – Having a close relative with the condition, such as a parent, brother or sister.

Weight – Being overweight or obese.

SYMPTOMS OF FUNGAL THRUSH INFECTIONS:
Thrush is a yeast infection (candida albicans) which tends to affect warm, moist areas of the body such as the vagina, penis, mouth and certain areas of skin.

Thrush is more common in people with diabetes as high sugar levels lead to better conditions for the yeast to grow.

Vaginal thrush (vulvovaginal candidiasis) symptoms include:

• Soreness and irritation
• White curd appearance on the skin
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• White vaginal discharge
• Reddening of the vulva (the outer parts of the vagina)
• Itching around the vagina (infectious vaginitis)

Oral thrush (oral candidiasis) symptoms include:
• A nasty or bitter taste
• Redness or bleeding inside the mouth
• Creamy white coloured patches (lesions) in the mouth (cheeks, lips, tongue or the back of the mouth)
• Painful and sore mouth (can include the throat)
• Cracks at the corners of the lips (angular cheilitis)

Thrush in men (candida balanitis) Symptoms of thrush in men include:
• Reddening or swelling or soreness of the glans (head) of the penis
• Itching around the tip of the penis
• Discharge beneath the foreskin
• Nasty odour
• Pain during urination
• White curd-like appearance on the skin
• Painful experience during sex

PREVENTING TYPE 2 DIABETES:
If you're at risk of type 2 diabetes, you may be able to prevent it developing by making lifestyle changes:

• Eating a healthy, balanced diet
• Losing weight if you're overweight, and maintaining a healthy weight,
The recommended ways to lose weight are through a healthy diet and regular exercise. If you are looking at ways of losing weight, check out my previous videos on how lose weight the healthy way,

I’m always thirsty, really tired, and pee a lot. I’m pretty worried not going to lie. Getting a blood test asap!

[kappalolue]

low carb diets, plenty sleep, little exercise and proper mindfulness(streess management) can help :)

Great information you have to have a physical and eye exam ever year it's a must. Some people can live their life and not knowing you are living with diabetes . Every morning when I wake up I drink water mix with pineapple juice, turmeric, apple cider vinegar organic with the mother it's been helping me and I feel great.

I lost my appetite ever since my period that was last month. I went to the doctors they said I got unknown infection and told me to rest.. but I’ve been getting worse, again today I stopped eating but still drinking water a little bit. I’m scared of the hospital and I ain’t sure what to do now. I’ve been feeling tired all the time, I hadn’t really been peeping a lot. I’m 19 years old
