How the Symptoms of Diabetes Generally Become Noticeable

By Vania Kraft


Identifying the bigger symptoms of diabetes can help you miss out on complications with the disease. Unfortunately, many of the diabetes symptoms that present themselves outside of the body are also symptoms of other disorders.

Has your weight started to fluctuate? Does it feel like you eat all the time but you're still losing weight? Has this been a relatively recent change? Are these weight changes happening without a change in your diet? The most obvious sign of diabetes is this kind of weight fluctuation. Diabetes causes this by wreaking havoc on your potassium levels which controls the amount of water in your body. The change in water levels causes the changes to your weight. If you find yourself ballooning up and thinning back down without any predictability it is time to call your doctor.

Excessive thirst is one of the diabetes indicators that are well known. Thanks to books in which popular characters talk about their diabetes diagnosis, most 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. Nothing can be done about this thirst. If you suffer from thirst like this, you should consult your physician. It may be dehydration. Chances are that is it something that is messing with your potassium level (which is one of the most noticeable symptoms of diabetes, also.

Nausea, vomiting and dehydration are the primary symptoms and indicators of the onset of Type 1. These ordinarily happen when the body discontinues producing insulin or the levels of potassium go berserk. Type diabetes, also called juvenile onset diabetes, happens because of genetics and heredity and not typically from factors that can be regulated. If your son or daughter is behaving oddly and appears to have a stomach bug, requesting they have some testing for diabetes is a good choice. Most likely, a pediatrician will run some precursory tests anyway, just to rule the sickness out.

Symptoms can vary widely from one person to another. It depends heavily on how far it has progressed in your body and what the severity is. Some experience no symptoms whatsoever. There are still others who will experience the whole gamet of classic symptoms. The first line of defense a person has against this disease is understanding how it manifests itself. Recognizing the symptoms of diabetes will make it more likely for you to seek early treatment and gain fast control over the disease.
