8 Commonly Missed Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes

Sudden Weight Changes

During early stages of type 2 diabetes, patients can lose their appetite, which causes sudden weight loss. Others struggle with eating too much or experience unusual cravings that do not go away. Significant fluctuations in weight should be reported to a doctor because they may signal the body’s failed attempt at trying to regulate blood sugar levels. Unstable blood sugar levels may also explain food cravings. Because the body’s cells are unable to get the glucose they need to operate, they crave more of it.
