I had no noticeable symptoms at all. My type two was discovered during a routine physical. There was a question here on answers a few days ago asking what your reading was when you were diagnosed. Judging by the other answers, which were several times higher than my numbers, I would say that most people go for years undiagnosed. As I look back, I did have mild symptoms for a couple of years prior to being diagnosed. Tired and grumpy come to mind. Most of these people who are citing these symptoms are either repeating what they've heard or read in a book or on a website, or were so far advanced that the symptoms were more pronounced. It comes on so gradually, that most folks don't even notice the symptoms for years. Read this: http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-symptoms.jsp<br><b>References : </b><br> More often than not… none.
