Are Your Symptoms Really Indicative of Diabetes

By Vania Kraft


Diabetes is a disease that affects a lot of people of all ages. There are two types of Diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. A majority of Type 1 is hereditary and genetic. Type 2 is typically the aftermath of lifestyle and environmental factors. While the disease is not always completely avoidable, for the most part it can be staved off for quite a while. One of the best ways to get as much control over the disease as possible is to learn how to recognize the major diabetes symptoms. Once you are able to put your finger on the major indicators of this disease, you'll have better odds of dealing with it and not let it disturb your life in any huge way.

One of the most common signs of diabetes is fatigue. Yes, fatigue is a sign of a bunch of different issues.

Do your eyes suddenly go blurry without notice? This is something that you won't be able to see if it is happening to someone else. Talk to your doctor about having your insulin levels tested if you experience this symptom. Diabetes is also known as Diabetes Insipidus. It is caused when body fluid is pulled out of the tissues surrounding the lenses of your eyes. It makes your eyes work harder to focus. If you experience consistent blurred vision you probably just need to visit the eye doc for glasses. If it comes and goes, however, it could be a sign of diabetes so you should call your doctor if it happens to you.

Do your eyes suddenly go blurry without notice? This is probably the hardest symptom to notice from someone not affected because they cannot see that it's happening to you. If this symptom occurs you should consult your physcian about insulin testing. Another medical term for this is Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome. It is caused when body fluid is pulled out of the tissues surrounding the lenses of your eyes. This makes it harder for your eyes to focus. Sometimes blurry vision is a sign that you need glasses. Talk to your doctor if it is only every now and then or comes and goes without warning.

Excessive thirst is one of the diabetes indicators that are well known. On account of books in which popular characters explain their diabetes diagnosis, a lot of people equate excessive thirst with diabetes. Everybody gets thirsty. Excessive thirst is when, even if you are drinking tons of water - more than recommended daily amount (64 ounces) you still think you could be "dying" of thirst. There is nothing that can help this thirst. If you experience thirst like this, call your doctor. Dehydration is a possibility. More likely is that something is messing with your potassium level (which is one of the major symptoms of diabetes as well).

It's possible you don't even recognize that you're acting out of sorts. It's when someone asks "what's wrong with you" that you should find out. Occasionally it is just a bad mood. Infrequently, it is an indicator that something is not going the way it should internally and physically.

Diagnosing diabetes is really tough. This is on account of many of the warning signs mimicking the warning signs of other illnesses, as well. The most direct indicators can only be noticed after extensive testing. Still, there are physical indicators and diabetes warning that you should keep an eye out for. Diabetes is a somber sickness, especially if it isn't dealt with in a proper manner. Appropriate treatment is dependent on a real diagnosis. So, if you notice that your body is out of whack, you should call your doctor. What you assume is a cold may turn out to be diabetes.
