What Symptoms Occur In Diabetes Type 2 And Why?
Because the insulin is not as effective (there is resistance to its effects) the blood glucose levels rises, and causes diabetes symptoms such as increased thirst, drinking and urination. In fact, because of the resistance to insulin, the amount of insulin produced increases to try and compensate for the resistance. In the beginning, this may work to keep glucose levels under control. But as the body becomes more resistant to insulin, the blood sugar levels are no longer controlled, and diabetes and it’s symptoms occur. Diabetic symptoms include increased thirst, drinking and urination, and increased infections. Occasionally in type 2 diabetes, the blood glucose levels go up excessively, and results in unwellness, severe dehydration, loss of consciousness, and coma. This is a medical emergency that needs urgent treatment.
