Sign/s Of Diabetes?

Diabetes is the body’s inability to utilize food for energy. The sugar that we consume is normally broken down through digestion into simple sugar (glucose). The simple sugar circulates in our blood until it enters cells to be used as fuel. The body uses insulin to bring the simple sugar into the cells. The pancreas produces and regulates insulin levels in the body. Type I diabetes is caused by a defective pancreas. In type II diabetes the person can produce insulin, but their cells don’t respond to it. Your doctor can notice the sign of diabetes through tests and here’s what you can look for:
Sign/s Of Diabetes?
  1. Unquenchable thirst . This is when it feels like you can’t drink enough water and your drinking more than usual. The body is using more water from the blood and making you feel the need to drink more liquids.
  2. Fatigue and Weakness. This feeling is caused by lack of glucose entering the cells. As a result, you have less energy and feel run down, weak, and fatigued.
  3. Frequent Bathroom Trips is another sign of diabetes. If your visiting the bathroom more than usual. The feeling of urination becomes more consistent because there’s too much glucose in the blood. If insulin is non-existent or in effective. The kidneys are unable to filter the simple sugar back to the blood.
  4. Tingling or numbness in your hands, legs or feet.. A consistently high level of glucose particularly in the extremities causes damage to the nervous system. This symptom is actually by neuropathy. Nerve damage can begin to appear without our knowledge. Neuropathy can be greatly improved by stabilizing blood sugar levels.
