Diabetes! Diabetes!! Diabetes!!!.
A very bad disease. We all know major stuffs that happens when you have diabetes. Your wounds never get healed. You know how dangerous that is?. If blade cut you, it won't heal properly or at all, you mistakenly injure yourself with your nails, forget healing. This disease is scary because its symptoms looks more usual and you may not quickly know something is wrong with you.
Well these are symptoms you could refer to someone. Maybe your brother, dad, mother or anybody. Stay tuned, scroll down and get orientated...
Frequent urination
Have you been going to the bathroom to urinate more often recently? Do you notice that you spend most of the day going to the toilet? When there is too much glucose (sugar) in your blood you will urinate more often. If your insulin is ineffective, or not
there at all, your kidneys cannot filter the glucose back into the blood. The kidneys will take water from your blood in order to dilute the glucose - which in turn fills up your bladder.
Disproportionate thirst
If you are urinating more than usual, you will need to replace that lost liquid. You will be drinking more than usual. Have you been drinking more than usual lately?
Intense hunger
As the insulin in your blood is not working properly, or is not there at all, and your cells are not getting their energy, your body may react by trying to find more energy - food. You will become hungry.
Weight gain
This might be the result of the above
symptom (intense hunger).
Unusual weight loss
This is more common among people with Diabetes Type 1. As your body is not making insulin it will seek out another energy source (the cells aren't getting glucose). Muscle tissue and fat will be broken down for energy. As Type 1 is of a more sudden onset and Type 2 is much
more gradual, weight loss is more
noticeable with Type 1.
Increased fatigue
If your insulin is not working properly, or is not there at all, glucose will not be entering your cells and providing them with energy.
This will make you feel tired and listless.
Irritability
Irritability can be due to your lack of
energy.
Blurred vision
This can be caused by tissue being pulled from your eye lenses. This affects your eyes' ability to focus. With proper treatment this can be treated. There are severe cases
where blindness or prolonged vision
problems can occur.
Cuts and bruises don't heal properly or quickly
Do you find cuts and bruises take a much longer time than usual to heal? When there is more sugar (glucose) in your body, its ability to heal can be undermined.
More skin and/or yeast infections
When there is more sugar in your body, its ability to recover from infections is affected.
Women with diabetes find it especially difficult to recover from bladder and vaginal
infections.
Itchy skin
A feeling of itchiness on your skin is
sometimes a symptom of diabetes.
Gums are red and/or swollen - Gums pull away from teeth.
If your gums are tender, red and/or swollen this could be a sign of diabetes. Your teeth could become loose as the gums pull away
from them.
Frequent gum disease/infection
As well as the previous gum symptoms, you may experience more frequent gum disease and/or gum infections.
Sexual dysfunction among men
If you are over 50 and experience frequent or constant sexual dysfunction (erectile dysfunction), it could be a symptom of diabetes.
Numbness or tingling, especially in your feet and hands
If there is too much sugar in your body your nerves could become damaged, as could the tiny blood vessels that feed those nerves. You may experience tingling and/or numbness in your hands and feet.
