This increases their urge to pee frequently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sudden weight loss:\u00a0<\/strong>In diabetics, the body isn&#8217;t able to utilise glucose for energy. Therefore, the body utilises fat to draw energy. This causes weight loss even without exercise and dietary changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poor wound healing:\u00a0<\/strong>Increased sugar levels in the body causes hardening of blood vessels affecting circulation. When blood flow to injured tissues gets affected, blood clotting proteins and other factors that promote healing do not reach the site of injury. This causes wounds to heal slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Other symptoms include blurred vision, pain in the hands and feet or numbness, depression, frequent infections of the kidney, bladder and skin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms &nbsp; In most cases, symptoms of diabetes aren\u2019t pronounced.
