Diabetes is a disease that all too often goes undetected because the symptoms are either so mild or common to other problems. Because of this, many people walk around with diabetes without even knowing it until they finally go to the doctor for a blood and urine test. This article is going to review the most common symptoms of diabetes so that you’re alerted to what to look out for. The sooner your diabetes is diagnosed, the quicker you can receive treatment.

Probably the most common symptom of diabetes is extreme thirst. The reason for this is that the kidneys of a diabetic spill excessive levels of glucose into the urine which results in taking more water with it. That’s why diabetics are so thirsty, because they are losing more water than non diabetics.

Another common symptom of diabetes is frequent *********. This is also caused by the same problem as above. Diabetics usually wake up many times during the night. Diabetics have a difficult time taking long trips because of this ********* problem.

Another common symptom of diabetes is extreme hunger. This is caused by the body not producing enough insulin, which is needed for glucose to enter our cells. Because our cells don’t get enough glucose, which gives us our energy, we are constantly hungry. This same problem also causes fatigue and weight loss as well.

Another common symptom of diabetes is headache. The reason diabetics get headaches frequently is because our brain cells need a constant supply of energy, which they are not getting because not enough glucose is getting into our cells. This also tends to make diabetics nervous and irritable.

Another very common problem of diabetes is blurred vision, which can ultimately lead to blindness if your diabetes isn’t kept in check. The reason for the blurred vision is because of the high levels of glucose in the cells. This damages the cells and causes them to leak. This makes the retina bleed and swell, which is what causes the blurred vision.

There are many more symptoms of diabetes such as abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, skin infections, impotence, wounds that take a long time to heal, no tolerance to cold, itching, numbness in fingers and toes, heart palpitations and excessive perspiration.

Because many of these symptoms can occur with other diseases, it is important to see your doctor for a blood test and urinalysis in order to determine whether or not you have diabetes.

Diabetes, if caught early, can be treated and controlled.

To YOUR Health,

Yondaime asked:


I have Type 1 diabetes and at the moment i am covered by my Step-mothers health insurance but in 2010 her insurance runs out for me, is there anyway of getting Health insurance to cover my diabetes except by getting a job that has health insurance as standard?

Sofilita asked:


This is a short question and really requires no thought. I’m just curious about it. Only answer if you actually have celiac (intolerant of gluten: wheat, rye, barley, oats, and malt) or type 1 diabetes (pancreas can’t produce insulin to regulate your blood glucose).

Awesome k bye.

Lucy asked:


I’m 13 and my test results are looking possibly diabetic or possibly pre-diabetic (i have to do more tests) but i don’t understand why i would have diabetes type 2. I’m not overweight, i exercise, none of my immediate relatives have diabetes that we know of… the only thing i could think of would be that i recently started eating more unhealthily but only in the last few months. Could anybody shed some light as to why i would have diabetes 2 at a young age? Thanks.
