# When You See These 4 Conditions While Walking, Be Alert for Diabetes

Walking is something most of us do without giving it much thought. But occasionally, changes in the way your legs, feet, or energy levels feel while walking can provide useful clues about your health.

Diabetes does not have one specific “walking symptom,” and these signs alone cannot diagnose the condition. In fact, type 2 diabetes can develop gradually and some people have few or no noticeable symptoms for years. Still, persistent fatigue, numbness or tingling in the feet, and wounds that heal slowly are recognized symptoms or complications associated with diabetes.
