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

By Longesis Sample


Frequent urination, weak bladder, rapid weight gain or loss, changes in vision are all signs of diabetes.

Increased appetite, tingling hands and feet, muscle and nerve impairment causing an unsteady gait, sores, cuts and bruises that take longer to heal, increased appetite, fatigue, weakness in the back of your legs, pain from cramping are all signs that you may have diabetes.

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.

The signs of diabetes are the same in men and women, and develop because the pancreas can't generate enough insulin or what's produced is ineffective in controlling blood sugar 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.

Diabetes is a serious life threatening disease that must be evaluated by a physician in the early stages. The sooner the disease is diagnosed the sooner medication can be administered to prevent complications and stop the disease from getting worse.

Life style modification, including increased exercise and diet modification, may prevent type 2 diabetes. The disease, previously known as adult-onset or non insulin dependent diabetes, is the most common form of diabetes induced by high blood sugar.

If you are over 40, have a family hereditary history of diabetes or are obese, you have a high likelihood of developing diabetes. Types 1 and 2 diabetes have the same symptoms. but distinct 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.

Type 1 diabetes can happen at any age, but it usually starts in individuals younger than 30. It makes up about only 5-10% of all diagnosed diabetes in the United States,

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.

When your pancreas does not produce insulin or you are insulin resistant, that is your cells don't respond to the insulin that is produced, high blood sugar is the result. High blood sugar concentration can lead to heart disease, impotence, vascular damage, amputations, blindness, stroke and recurrent infections, and high blood pressure.

Type 3, or gestational diabetes, commonly occurs during pregnancy. The symptoms are hard to detect, and disappear after childbirth.
