If you go through my previous posts, you'd find out that I write about diabetes a lot. It could be due to the fact that some people are ignorant of diabetes and others only know about it when they are bedridden by it.
Below are some of the symptoms of diabetes (I put together) and if you're exhibiting any of the following symptoms, contact your doctor and have your blood glucose level checked.
• INCREASED THIRST AND FREQUENT URINATION
The body then becomes dehydrate and you feel thirsty.
• INCREASED HUNGER
• UNFORESEEN WEIGHT LOSS
This is due to the decrease in the amount of calories absorbed by the cell because of the excretion of glucose in urine.
• FATIGUE AND WEAKNESS
This is caused by the reduction in glucose that gets into the cells leading to reduced amount of energy to function.
• BLURRY VISION
Many people don't know this is a symptom of diabetes. High blood glucose affects the eyes causing swollen lens with abnormal shape, thereby leading to a blurry vision.
• SORE HEALS SLOWLY AND FREQUENT INFECTIONS
When the blood glucose level is high, it weakens the immune system which leads to slow healing process and the body is prone to infections.
Stay healthy.
