The diabetes is a metabolic disease characterized by sugar levels higher than normal blood. This is caused by a failure in the production or action of insulin. If you have not controlled properly, in the long term, cause alterations in the kidneys, heart or eyes.
Hence the importance of being aware of those early symptoms of diabetes that will help you recognize if you are diabetic.
The types of diabetes
1. Type 1, which is one of the chronic childhood diseases and is produced by a genetic factor, that is, a relative has the disease and is inherited or by autoimmunity. In it the pancreas does not manufacture enough insulin.
2. Type 2, more frequent in older people. In this case the ability to produce insulin does not disappear but the body is resistant to this hormone. It can also be hereditary, although most people suffer from the lifestyle they lead: unhealthy eating, people with excess weight or sedentary lifestyle, for example.
In this last cause, the role of prevention is fundamental. That is why it is important to have your weight, to stay active with a regular exercise of at least 30 minutes a day (this will lower our glucose levels), to take care of our diet and eat in a healthy way, rest and let the body recover by sleeping well.
What
symptoms does diabetes have?
These are the first symptoms of diabetes
The first thing you should know is that in the case of type 1 diabetes the symptoms usually manifest more obviously, but in the case of type 2 diabetes, detection is usually more complicated since the symptoms may take years to manifest. Considering this, there are some indications that can come to light in both cases and are:
1. To begin with, the symptoms of diabetes can manifest themselves in need of food and a large or unusual weight loss. By not having enough insulin, cells demand and send signals that they want sugar. So our feeling will be that we have an appetite. However, we will not gain weight and tend to lose weight.
2. The wounds heal much slower than they should or not get cured completely (delayed healing of wounds).
3. Fatigue, weakness and fatigue when we have just done something. This is because the absence of insulin does not drag glucose into the muscle.
4. It is also characterized by extremes. Suddenly, you are thirsty, hungry and feel like extreme peeing.
We can even find our limbs somewhat numb.
Other
signs to recognize if you are diabetic
In addition, there are other secondary symptoms that the primary ones can complete and give us more signs that we may have diabetes. For example:
1. Nausea and vomiting.
2. Stomach pain.
3. Very deep and accelerated breathing.
4. A lot of dryness in the mouth and on the skin.
Sometimes there is also headache, nervousness, hunger, tremors, a lot of sweating, bladder, kidney and skin infections and / or erectile dysfunction. If you think you can have diabetes but have not been diagnosed with the disease, it is advisable to go to the doctor as soon as possible.
