Symptoms Excessive thirst and increased urination: Excessive thirstiness and raised urination are diabetes symptoms. When one has diabetes, extra sugar (glucose) makes up in the blood.
The kidneys are forced work harder to take in the extra sugar. If the kidneys can't do the job, the extra sugar is passed into the urine with the liquids taken from the tissues. This causes more frequent urination, which may leave you dehydrated. As you would expect, the more u drink the more you pee.
Exhaustion: A person with diabetes may feel extremely tired and worn out. Lots of fundamentals can add to this. They are drying up from raised urination and the body's unfitness to work properly, since taking sugar for energy is ineffective.
Weight loss: Loosing weight is also a symptom of diabetes. When you urinate all the sugar is released, which means the loss of calories.
Also, if the diabetes stops the sugar from getting to the cells it could cause constant hungriness. The combined outcome is possible weight loss, especially if you have type 1 diabetes.
Blurred vision: If there?s a high content of blood sugar it takes liquid from the tissues, including the lenses of the eyes. This can harm the ability to focus. Left untreated, this could make new blood vessels in the eye as well as cause damage to the old ones. For a few people this doesn?t affect their vision. But could in fact advance unobserved, which will lead to blindness. This is a type 2 diabetes symptom.
Slow-healing sores or frequent infections: Some people have noticed that bruises seem even more usual if they have diabetes. There has not been enough research done to prove if this is true or not. It could be the high amount of blood sugar spoils the body's natural curing process and the ability to combat contagions. For women, bladder and vaginal contagions are common.
Tingling hands and feet: Extra sugar in the blood can take to nerve injury. One may see prickling and loss of sense in the hands and feet, as well as burning ail in the arms, hands, legs and feet.
