Diabetes type 2 symptoms and signs: Three carbs to cut down on in your diet
Diabetes can cause serious long-term health problems if left untreated or not treated properly, including kidney failure, heart disease and stroke.
The longer you have diabetes, and the less controlled your blood sugar, the higher the risk of complications, so it is important to recognise the symptoms.
According to Bupa, the full list of symptoms include passing urine more often than usual, being constantly thirsty, losing weight for no obvious reason and being extremely tired.
Having blurred vision and having itchy skin around the genitals can also be indicators.
Diabetes UK says the key to managing and preventing diabetes is a balanced diet. To full embody a healthy, balanced diet, nutritionists at Healthline recommend cutting down on your consumption of three carbs - white bread, pasta and rice.
