TYPE 2 diabetes are not always say to spot, but then they do show, they may appear similar to the signs of less serious conditions. It is important to recognise all the symptoms for left untreated it can lead to a number of health complications. One indicator is linked to how much you urinate a day.
Type 2 diabetes symptoms can be hard to detect because they are do not always show and can develop gradually. But if the condition is ignored, complications such as heart disease and stroke can occur.
The type of diabetes is usually picked up during a routine medical examination or screening test for non-related health problems.
But if signs do show, one to note is urinating more often than normal, particularly needing to do so during the night.
Frequent urination is known as polyuria, which is there the body urinates more than usual and passes excessive or abnormally large amounts of urine each time you urinate.
The condition is defined as the frequent passage of large volumes of urine, explains Diabetes.co.uk.
An adults normal daily urine output is about one to two litres, but someone with polyuria might produce more than three litres a day.
The diabetes expert further explains: “It is one of the main symptoms of diabetes (both type 1 and type 2 diabetes) and can lead to severe dehydration, which if left untreated can affect kidney function.
“In diabetes, the level of sugar in the blood is abnormally high. Not all of the sugar can be reabsorbed and some of this excess glucose form the blood ends up in the urine where it draws more water.”
Put polyuria isn’t always a sign of diabetes. It can also indicate kidney disease, liver failure, chronic diarrhoea, and pregnancy.
It can also be the result if driving excessive amounts of fluids, particularly water and fluids that contain caffeine or alcohol.

Type 2 diabetes is where the body can’t control the amount of glucose in the blood and a person’s blood glucose levels become too high.
Among causes such as having a close family member with the condition, being overweight or obese can put you at risk of type 2 diabetes.
