Type 2 diabetes is not easy to diagnose in oneself. In most cases, the diagnosis is made incidentally when you visit to your health care professional for routine health check or any other related issues. However, in some cases, symptoms such as tiredness, passing more water, thirst or losing weight, may be present. If you do have any of these symptoms, it is important that you do see a health care professional to have yourself checked out for type 2 diabetes.
