Type 2 Diabetes is a serious disease with many associated complications. In Queensland more than 93 000 people with diabetes are undiagnosed. Symptoms may include:

• increased thirst and urination
• increased hunger
• headaches
• blurred vision
• skin infections, itching
• poor wound healing
• feeling tired and lethargic

If you experience any of these symptoms, arrange a visit to your GP for further assessment. Diabetes is treatable and early detection minimises the risk of serious complications.
