Do You Have Diabetes? Symptoms of diabetes and how to address themWritten by Charlene J. Nuble
Diabetes mellitus is a condition resulting from pancreas’ inability to produce enough insulin, which is needed by body to help create energy. A deficiency of or ineffectiveness of insulin leads to high glucose levels in blood, thus, leading to this illness. Diabetes has two types. Type 1 Diabetes usually occurs in young people and requires frequent insulin injections, while Type 2 Diabetes is experienced by older people and is not as dependent on insulin. Majority of those who have Type 2 Diabetes have been found to be either obese or overweight. Diabetes usually runs in family, so it’s best to know early on if you have it. The common symptoms experienced by someone who has diabetes include unusually frequent urination and hunger, constant thirst, rapid weight loss, tiredness, numbness in feet and hands, recurrent skin infections, itching in private parts and blurred vision. When left unattended, diabetes could escalate to hyperglycemia, which develops from an excess of glucose in blood, and leave person temporarily unconscious, or, worse, cause severe infections, poor healing abilities, heart ailments and numbness from nerve damage. The direct origins of diabetes, besides heredity, remain uncertain. However, several scientists believe that diabetes can also spring from an infection in pancreas, a disorder in autoimmune system and even from an unhealthy diet and lifestyle. When you notice signs that possibly point to diabetes, consult your doctor immediately. You will be subjected to tests to determine whether your blood sugar is stable and if there is a presence of diabetes. Your doctor will then recommend an appropriate exercise regimen and diet to temper effects of diabetes, or, if needed, prescribe medication.
