Diabetes is a condition where blood sugar is too high because the body makes too little insulin or cannot use it well. Good control prevents serious complications. Symptoms: Excessive thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, weight loss, slow-healing sores and blurred vision. Type 2 can be silent for years. Get a blood-sugar test if you have symptoms or risk factors. Seek urgent care for very high sugar with vomiting and deep breathing, or for a low-sugar episode (shaky, sweaty, confused). generated by SI from cited sources · general information, not a diagnosis · consult a health professional
