Diabetes is a condition that causes blood sugar levels to rise higher than normal. Everyone experiences bouts of high or low blood sugar from time to time, but most people’s bodies can stabilize and return back to normal. For those with diabetes, however, their bodies may be unable to stabilize their blood sugar, which can cause certain symptoms.
If you notice any Type 2 diabetes symptoms, see your healthcare provider right away so you can get screened.
