1. You’re visiting the bathroom frequently

If a close family member has type 2 diabetes, you probably know by now his/her bathroom schedule. But do you know why? Those with type 2 diabetes find it hard to put everything “on hold” because their bodies are actually less efficient when it comes to processing blood glucose.

For this reason, they have the urge to go to the bathroom more often than the rest of us. Unfortunately, most people tend to overlook this type 2 diabetes symptom. Who counts how many times you use the toilet? Yeah… no one. However, if you take more bathroom breaks than you used to, maybe it’s time to call your doctor.

A red flag is an urge to urinate at night. When it affects your natural ability to sleep, you probably have type 2 diabetes without realizing it.
