Posted by admin in Prescription Diabetes Drugs on March 27th, 2010

Diabetes is perhaps one of the diseases that affects by giving rise to multiple physical hazards. A major difference exists between development of symptoms in case type 1 and type 2 diabetes. In case of the former the symptoms may develop pretty quickly wile in the second case they may develop slower despite being subtler.

Three Major Symptoms

Three major symptoms that indicate the existence of diabetes are polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia referring to increased urination tendencies, increased thirst and fluid intake tendencies, and increased appetite. Question that would immediately come to one’s mind is what happens when someone develops these symptoms.

To What Such Symptoms Could Lead to

Usually all such symptoms are created by effect of diabetes on the physique of a human being. When the blood glucose level rises too high, it results in improper reabsorbing process initiated in the body using the proximal renal tubuli. Presence of high levels of glucose in urine increases osmotic pressure. Water is no more reabsorbed by kidney and thus greater urine production occurs. On turn it causes dehydration in the body and thirst since the water is required to replace the lost blood volumes in the cells but is not available.

Three Types of Diabetes

Diabetes is one such disease that can only be managed to some extent and there is no treatment for it. Regular check ups are required for those who encounter symptoms that may lead to serious diabetic conditions. One should know that type 1 diabetes is less frequent among individuals under the age of 45 years. Type 2 diabetes results more from obesity. Gestational or the third type of diabetes is connected with pregnant women and such condition ceases to exist after child birth. However such women may also develop type 2 diabetes if proper care in pregnancy is not taken.
