7 Early Signs Of Type2 Diabetes by Oluola89(m): 11:03pm On Mar 15, 2016
1. Frequent Urination
Also known as polyuria, frequent and/
or excessive urination is a sign that
your blood sugar is high enough to
start to spill into the urine. Because
your kidneys can’t keep up with. the
high glucose levels, they allow some of
that sugar to go into your urine, where
it draws additional water, making you
have to urinate
often.
2. Extreme Thirst
Extreme thirst is one of the first
noticeable symptoms of diabetes for
some. It’s tied to high. blood sugar
levels, which cause thirst, and is.
exacerbated by. frequent urination.
Often, drinking won’t satisfy the thirst.
3. Increased Hunger
Intense hunger, or polyphagia, is also
an early warning sign of diabetes. Your
body uses the sugar in your blood to
feed your cells. When the cells can’t
absorb the sugar (because of a lack of
insulin), your body looks for more
sources of fuel, causing persistent
hunger.
4. Nerve Pain or Numbness
You might experience tingling or
numbness in your hands, fingers, feet,
and toes. This is a sign of diabetic
neuropathy, or nerve damage. You are
most likely to experience this after
several years of living with diabetes.
5. Slow Healing Wounds
There are several reasons why a wound
will heal more slowly if you have
diabetes. Poor circulation, the effects of
high blood sugar on blood vessels, and
immunodeficiency are just a few. If you
experience frequent infections or
wounds that are slow to heal, it could
be an early symptom.
6. Blurred Vision
Blurred vision occurs early in
unmanaged diabetes. It can be a sign
of high blood sugar levels, which cause
fluid to shift into the lens of the eye.
This usually resolves when blood sugar
levels normalize.
7. Dark Skin Patches
Dark discoloration in the folds of your
skin is called acanthosis, nigricans and
is another early warning sign of type 2
diabetes. They are most common in
the armpits, neck, and groin regions,
according to the Mayo Clinic.
