Overview

Diabetes, whether type 1, type 2 or prediabetes, affects how your body regulates blood sugar. Good, individualised management reduces the risk of long-term complications affecting the nerves, kidneys, eyes, heart and liver — diabetes is closely linked to fatty liver disease (MASLD), so the two are often managed together.

Common signs and symptoms

• Increased thirst and more frequent urination
• Unexplained fatigue or blurred vision
• Slow-healing cuts or infections
• Often no symptoms at all in prediabetes or early type 2 diabetes
