Middle-aged or older individuals are most likely to suffer from type 2 diabetes, called adult-onset diabetes. Genetics and environmental factors seem to be contributing factors for type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes will have high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia) in the blood. They will experience symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination at night, slow wound healing, increased hunger, fatigue, and blurred vision. There may be weight gain in some cases, while weight loss may also be observed in rare cases.
