Diabetes can be successfully managed, if you are educated enough about the symptoms. If you know the symptoms to watch out for, you can successfully delay or prevent complications.

So, what are the symptoms to watch out for?

Excessive urination and threat: If you are constantly thirsty and feel a need to urinate every now and then, it means your blood sugar is high. High blood sugar can lead to heart disease, kidney failure, nerve disease or even put you in a diabetic coma.

Dizziness and shakiness: This is a symptom that comes from having low blood sugar. Asides, being dizzy and shaky, you would also feel confused most times. If your blood sugar is too low, you could pass out.

Wounds refuse to heal: Blood cells that are responsible for healing wounds cannot get to heal your wounds because blood flow is decreased as a cause of the diabetes. Once the wounds turn to sores and ulcers, they can become infected, and might require amputation.

Chest pain: Having a jamming pain in your chest, jaw or arm is an indication that you might be having a heart attack. Diabetes weaken your blood vessels and allow plaque to build up in your arteries. This plaque can damage your heart muscle, resulting in a heart attack or stroke if the plaque goes to your brain....
