- Increased thirst and frequent urination
- Unexplained weight loss
- Extreme fatigue and weakness

- Irritability or mood changes
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or does not produce enough insulin. Symptoms may develop gradually and include:
- Frequent urination
- Increased thirst
- Fatigue and weakness
