Often people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms. Others are symptomatic with very high blood glucose levels.

Some symptoms are often similar to type 1:

• Tired
• thirst 
• hunger
• increased urination

Plus the following symptoms:

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin.

In Type 2 diabetes, either the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin or the body cells have become less responsive to insulin, a condition called insulin resistance. 

With insulin resistance the body needs increasing amounts of insulin to control blood glucose. The pancreas tries to make more insulin, but sometimes cannot make enough.

The symptoms of type 1 diabetes usually develop over a short period of time.  They include:

• Unusual  increased thirst
• Frequent urination
• Extreme hunger
• Unusual weight loss
• Extreme fatigue and irritability
• Blurred vision

If not diagnosed and treated with insulin, the person with type 1 diabetes will eventually lapse into a life-threatening condition known as diabetic ketoacidosis (KEY-toe-asi-DOE-sis) or DKA.
