If your blood sugar goes too high, the excess sugar seeps into your urine. This pulls out extra water through the kidneys.

Because the symptoms of type 2 diabetes may appear gradually, you may grow accustomed to feeling weary and thirsty and take some time to realize you are ill. Some people also experience frequent infections such recurrent thrush and impaired vision. If the glucose level is not excessively high, some patients with type 2 diabetes do not exhibit any symptoms. However, even if you are symptom-free, you should still receive therapy to lower your risk of developing complications.

Most people with type 2 diabetes can prevent or manage their condition with good diet and regular physical activity. Losing weight, eating well and exercising daily can help you manage your blood sugar. If diet and exercise don't control your blood glucose levels well enough, you may need diabetes medications or insulin therapy.
