Diabetes, especially Type-2 diabetes is often termed as the ‘silent killer disease’. Why? The reason behind it is that this disease does not come with prominent symptoms. Sometimes this disease is not detected until the condition gets severe. However, there are certain symptoms of Type-1 and Type-2 Diabetes, which one should know, in order to identify this ailment at an earlier stage. Let us gain an elaborative insight about this chronic disease and the warning signs that it comes with.
1. Intensive Thirst
One of the earliest symptoms of diabetes is peeing more than regular. A normal individual usually pees for 4-7 times in a day but a diabetic might do much more than that. This in turn also leads to intensive thirst as the person starts feeling much thirstier than usual. Why does this happen? This happen because the glucose, which your body reabsorbs in normal conditions, is not able to do so when your blood sugar level goes up.
2. Dry Mouth
Lack of necessary amount of fluids in the body can cause the mouth and skin to dry leading to dehydration. It can also make the skin slightly itchy.
3. Impaired Vision
As it is imperative that the fluid levels in the body change in this ailment, so, this change can make the eye lenses swell up. This, in turn, can cause the vision to blur.
4. Fatigue
The glucose that is created by the body, which usually our cells convert into energy, is brought in by insulin. Decrease in insulin automatically lowers the glucose level in the body, thus lowering the energy levels making the person feel more tired than usual.
These symptoms are general symptoms for all types of diabetes. However, when the blood sugar level rises a little higher there are different symptoms for different types of diabetes, which one ought to know.
