What were your type 2 diabetes symptoms?
Some common symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst, frequent urination, and blurry vision. Sean has a family history of type 2 diabetes, so he knew he might have the disease when he started experiencing these symptoms in his mid-20s. “I was getting up two or three times a night to go to the bathroom where I never had before,” he says. “I was experiencing rabid thirst.”
