Diabetes Symptoms

All too often we get sick but ignore the symptoms we may be
feeling, shrugging them off to a cold, stress from work, or
just not feeling well.
There are clear symptoms that shouldn抰 be ignored if
they develop. These symptoms could lead to blindness,
amputation of limbs, coma or even death.
Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often come on suddenly and are
severely dramatic. The additional stress of diabetes can lead to
something called diabetic ketoacidosis.
Symptoms of ketoacidosis may include nausea and vomiting,
which may also lead to dehydration and serious problems
with the blood levels of potassium. This could lead to a
diabetic coma and ultimately death.
Other symptoms of diabetes may include extreme fatigue. We
all get tired at times, but diabetes triggers a more severe
tiredness than normal.
People with diabetes also experience unexplained weight
loss. This is because they are unable to process many of
the calories they consume. Losing sugar and water in the
urine also contributes to the weight loss.
Extreme thirst is another symptom of diabetes. Diabetes
develops high blood sugar levels and the body tries to
compensate by diluting the blood, which translates to our
brain that we are thirsty.
With this is also excessive urination. It is another way
our bodies have of getting rid of the additional sugar in our
system. But this can also lead to dehydration. If you find yourself needing to urinate more often than usual get it
checked out as soon as you can.
One of the most difficult symptoms to deal with is poor wound
healing. Wounds heal slowly, if at all when the carrier has
diabetes. This along with infections that are not easily
remedied can attribute to ulcers and loss of limbs.
So you must stay alert and if you experience any of these symptoms you must seek medical advice.
Remember the long term effects of diabetes have to be taken seriously. Thousands of people are being diagnosed
with diabetes, throughout the world, every, single day. Often these people are diagnosed when they are being investigated for an entirely
different medical complaint. Diabetes is now a global epidemic with people being diagnosed much younger than years ago.
