Common early symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision and slow-healing wounds. Many people with Type 2 have no symptoms early on — which is why screening matters.
What are the early signs of diabetes?
Increased thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision and slow-healing cuts. A simple blood test confirms it.
Can diabetes be cured?
Diabetes is usually managed rather than cured. However, early Type 2 diabetes can sometimes be put into remission with significant weight loss and lifestyle change.
What should a diabetic eat?
A balanced diet with controlled carbohydrates, plenty of fibre and vegetables, lean protein, and limited sugar and refined foods. We provide individualised diet plans.
Is diabetes hereditary?
Family history increases risk, especially for Type 2, but lifestyle plays a major role. Having a family history means screening and prevention are especially important.
Can diabetics live a normal life?
Absolutely. With good control, regular monitoring and the right treatment, people with diabetes lead full, healthy and active lives.
