Type 2 diabetes could be caused by the body not producing enough of the hormone insulin, or the body not reacting to insulin.

Without enough of the hormone, the body struggled to convert sugar in the blood into useable energy.

It's crucial that if you think you may have diabetes, you speak to a doctor as soon as possible.

You may be at risk of the condition if you notice some changes to the skin on your feet.

"Constantly feeling thirsty, weeing all the time and feeling really tired; these are all symptoms that should lead us to think about diabetes," warned Benenden Health's society matron, Cheryl Lythgoe.

She told Express Health: "However, when it comes to diabetes, there are many other symptoms that should be getting our attention too.

"For example, if you struggle with one infection after another - a wound infection that wont settle or a fungal infection such as thrush or athlete's foot, for example this could be a symptom of diabetes.

"All of these signs and symptoms could be an indicator of diabetes and would require a discussion and some testing with your GP."

Many people may have diabetes without even knowing it, because the signs and symptoms dont necessarily make you feel unwell.

Common diabetes symptoms include having cuts or wounds that take longer to heal, having an unquenchable thirst, and passing more urine than normal.

You should speak to a doctor if youre worried about the warning signs or symptoms of diabetes, or if you think you may be at risk.

Diagnosing the condition early is very important, because patients are more at risk of some deadly complications, including heart disease and strokes.
