Earliest Symptoms of Diabetes
Posted by admin in Prescription Diabetes Drugs on September 24th, 2009
An estimate says that around 24 million Americans are suffering from diabetes. More surprising fact is that one quarter of this figure is not aware of their medical condition. No doubt it is surprising that how this number of individuals can be unaware that they are suffering from diabetes. Certainly a major cause is the absence or ignorance of earliest symptoms of diabetes. The absence of earliest symptoms is the hallmark of pre-diabetics and type 2 diabetics, who are at their earliest stages.
Both types of diabetes (type 2 and type 1) share some symptoms these are:
- Unquenchable thirst
- Frequent urination
- Fatigue or tiredness
- Unexplained weight loss
- Blurred vision
- Extreme hunger
- Hunger after eating
- Recurrent yeast infection
Each of these symptoms is backed up by the increase in level of blood glucose. The intensity and frequency of each symptom vary from individual to individual depending on the particular stage of diabetes.
The frequency of cuts and infection increases in type 2 diabetics. The speed of healing also slows down. The onset of diabetic symptoms is even more gradual in type 1 diabetics.
Pre-diabetes is a slow course of action and most of the times disguise the earliest symptoms of diabetes and thus prevent the early diagnosis. As a result it becomes important for those who are more prone to diabetes because of obesity or family history to be aware of these symptoms.
The occurrence of any one of these symptoms is enough to plan a visit to the health professional, as early visit to the doctor will not only help in early diagnosis of diabetes but will also prevent from short and long term complications of diabetes.
