First Signs Of Diabetes - See Your Doctor If You Have These Symptoms

By Veronique S Dalby

Diabetes is a serious condition that affects certain people whose bodies are incapable of converting glucose into energy and which may be a consequence of insufficient glucose being produced by the pancreas which is generally impaired in its functioning. It is normal for diabetes symptoms to develop in a slow and gradual manner and at first they may not be all that easy to detect and some of the common diabetes symptoms include being fatigued, having abrupt loss of weight and even having trouble focusing one's vision.

Other diabetes symptoms include wounds that take ages to heal, urination is frequent and worse at night, and the diabetic will also be feeling very thirsty most of the time which is caused by loss of fluids and subsequent excessive urination as well. So, if you happen to have any or all of these conditions you should get you checked by a doctor to see whether these are in fact diabetes symptoms, and especially if you have heart trouble, problems with vision and deadness in the feet as well as legs, you must get it checked up immediately.

It is often also a common occurrence for some diabetics to also not show any diabetes symptoms, and the instance of type 2 diabetes is a case in point because this type of diabetes can even take years to develop before it is finally diagnosed, and then they are different from person to person. Also, type 1 and type 2 diabetes symptoms are very different to one another, and in the case of youth or young children, will take some few days or even weeks before they show up.

Some of the commoner type one diabetes symptoms include feeling remarkably thirsty, having a dry mouth, urinating frequently, losing pounds, feeling low and worn out, and having difficulty with vision which is generally unfocused. The type two diabetes symptoms are dissimilar and include cuts or injuries that take a considerable time to heal, inflammation of the skin, feeling more thirst than is standard, urinating frequently, and having discomfort in the leg.

There's another sort of diabetes as well which is gestational diabetes and the common gestational diabetes symptoms include feeling really parched, urinating more than is standard, shedding weight even despite a good appetite, feeling worn out and fatigued, feeling nauseous as well as taking to barfing, and having many infections related to vagina, skin and also to the bladder.

Thus, one has to be on ones toes and need to even undergo tests to find out whether one is afflicted by diabetes, and then to look out for different diabetes symptom that relate to different types of diabetes. - 29887
