Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes develops when the pancreas begins to produce less insulin or when the body becomes less sensitive to the effects of insulin—known as insulin resistance.

Common symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

• Increased thirst
• Increased hunger
• Frequent urination
• Dry mouth
• Headaches
• Feeling tired after meals
• Unexplained weight gain
• Blurry vision

Type 2 diabetes can be diagnosed with a simple blood test at your regular doctor's visit.
