7 Early Signs Of Type 2 Diabetes. by emerged01(m): 10:57am On Apr 19, 2016 |
Here are 7 early signs to watch out for: 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. http://www.fasthealthytrack.com 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. The Takeaway If you have any suspicion that you may be experiencing the early signs of type 2 diabetes, talk to your doctor. As with most serious diseases, successful treatment and reduced risk of complications depend on swift diagnosis. Left untreated, type 2 diabetes can lead to lifelong impairment or dealth. http://www.punchng.com/7-early-signs-of-type-2-diabetes-and-how-to-deal-with-them/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter. |

I disagree totally. Early type 2 diabetes does not show any of those signs. Those signs you listed come much later, by then greater damage must have been done. You may be walking around with an onset of diabetes without knowing it. The only way of detecting diabetes in the early stage is by doing an AC1 test. |
