Does someone you know or love have diabetes?

If you want to know the diabetes signs and symptoms, that may mean you or someone you know may have diabetes.

The diagnosis can be pretty shocking. For years, we’ve associated diabetes with blindness, kidney failure, and early death.

There’s good news and bad news.

The good news is that if you get on top of it, you can prevent or actually reverse diabetes. The bad news is that you don’t always know that you have it.

So, you’re smart to get the rundown on symptoms and start taking care of the problems.

Here are the signs and symptoms of diabetes (and I’ll give you a little know but very imprtant secret after):

1. You’re drinking and peeing alot, you’ll feel like it’s all the time. That’s because your blood has so much glucose (sugar) your kidneys can’t pull it out. And when sugar spills into your urine it draws in water with it. So you can’t get enough to drink and you’re filling up your bladder constantly.

2. You can’t see as well. The lens of your eye is absorbing water, getting just slightly misshapen. And you can’t quite focus as well as you could. it will get worse if you don’t treat it.

3. You’re hungry all the time. The root of diabetes is your cells inability to absorb the sugar they need for energy. So even though you’re eating more, your getting less energy and you’re starving at a cellular level.

4. You’re fatigued. Glucose is energy. Your cells aren’t absorbing it. You’re losing the energy you need to function.

5. You may have weight loss. If you have type 1 diabetes, you’re missing insulin a basic building hormone.

So, your body is breaking down your muscles and fat to try to get more glucose. But it’s just going into your blood stream and your getting up at night and peeing it away.

6. You’re getting yeast infections (only in women). You’ve got a lot of sugar floating around your system. Bugs love it. They’re thriving even though you aren’t.

Warning: Here’s the secret I told you about. Your doctor will get concerned when there’s 180ml/dl of glucose in your blood. And damage starts before you hit that level. So your body may be suffering, may be getting damaged,?before you get the signs.

And here’s the tough part: 1/3 of the people walking around who have diabetes right now, don’t know it. And their glucose just works away at them.
