Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes is diagnosis using blood tests. Several tests may be needed to confirm this.

If you have any of these symptoms, speak to your GP:

• feeling very thirsty
• passing urine more often than usual, particularly at night
• blurred vision
• cuts or wounds that heal slowly
• feeling very tired
• weight loss and loss of muscle bulk.
