Have Early Signs Of Diabetes See A Doctor: Save Your Life

By Ml Carroll


Signs of diabetes are rapid weight gain or loss, changes in vision, frequent urination, and weak bladder.

Other indications of diabetes are recurring infections, cuts or bruises that heal very slowly, tingling of the hands or feet, increased appetite, fatigue, sores which are slow to heal, weakness in the back of legs, unsteady gait because of impaired nerve or muscle malfunction, and cramping or pain.

One of the more prevalent signs of diabetes is significant increase in thirst. This happens because glucose absorbs water dehydrating cells. Other, more subtle signs, are temperature insensitivity, trouble walking, muscle weakness in hands and feet, pins and needle sensation in parts of your body.

Men and women typically have the same signs and symptoms. They are the result of the pancreas not producing insulin at all or the amount produced is inadequate for controlling blood glucose levels.

High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is an increase in blood glucose concentration. The high sugar concentration is what causes diabetic symptoms. Because with type 2 diabetics, the symptoms last over an extended period of time, the damage to the body is more severe.

The signs and symptoms of diabetes in individuals can be serious and should be evaluated by a medical doctor. If the signs are discovered early enough that they have not gotten to the point were medication won't be able to stop complications and getting more severe.

Type 2 diabetes, previously known as adult-onset diabetes or non insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes. It is principally a disorder of lifestyle and may very often be prevented with changes in lifestyle like increased exercise and modification of diet.

Type 2 diabetes occurs in people over 40 and in people who are obese or have a family history of diabetes. The signs of diabetes are the same for different diabetes types, but types 1 and 2 diabetes and different causes.

The destruction of insulin producing by the body, an autoimmune disorder, is the cause of type 1 diabetes. Lifestyle induced high blood sugar, or hyperglycemia, is the cause of type 2 diabetes.

Five to 10 percent of all the diagnosed cases of type 1 diabetes in the United States have type 1 diabetes. Most of the time it affects people younger than 30, but it can occur at any age.

Because the early warning signs of diabetes are ignored by people who have them, only 6 million of the 17 million persons who have the disease have been diagnosed. The reason is that the early warning signs don't seem severe enough to warrant treatment by a doctor.

High blood sugar can lead to stroke, kidney disease, blindness, nerve damage, heart disease, impotence, high blood pressure, vascular damage, amputations, and infections. This happens because if you have diabetes your pancreas does not produce insulin at all or, if you are insulin resistant, cells don't respond to the insulin that is produced.

The symptoms of gestational diabetes, or type 3 diabetes, are difficult to detect. They are common features of pregnancies. The symptoms of gestational diabetes disappear once the baby is born.
