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.
With type 2 diabetics the symptoms of the disease last over a long period of time, often years. Consequently, the impact and damage to the body over time is severe. Hyperglycemia, an increase in sugar concentration, is the agent that causes the symptoms.
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.
As principally a disorder of life style, type 2 diabetes, sometimes called adult-onset or non insulin diabetes is largely a disorder of lifestyle. It is the most common form of diabetes and can be stopped by more exercise, dietary changes and life style modification.
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.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disorder. Type 2 is lifestyle induced hyperglycemia.
In the United States, only 5-10 percent of the people diagnosed with diabetes have type 1. You can get the disease at any age, however, it usually affects individuals over 30 years old.
Of the 17 million people who are suffering this disease almost 6 million haven't been medically diagnosed. The reason could very well be that many of the early warning signs of diabetes are shrugged off by those who suffer them because the symptoms don't seem that severe.
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.
Commonly occurring during pregnancy, type 3 or gestational diabetes, symptoms are difficult to detect, but they subside after the child is born.
