Diabetes Symptoms

Diabetes Mellitus is a condition which our body cells don't properly respond to the insulin that is produced. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas which enables body cells to absorb glucose, to turn into energy.

Diabetes symptoms:

• Urinating often
• Getting thirst easily
• Feels hungry more often
• losing weight
• having sores that heal slowly
• having dry, itchy skin
• losing the feeling in your feet or having tingling in your feet
• having blurry eyesight

However, these diabetes symptoms may vary depends on what types of diabetes are or who the patient is. Often urinating, thirty easily and feels hungry are symptoms that often happen, these diabetes symptoms may develop quite rapidly (weeks or months) in type 1 diabetes, particularly in children. However, in type 2 diabetes symptoms usually develop much more slowly and may be unseen or completely absent. Type 1 diabetes may also cause a rapid yet significant weight loss (despite normal or even increased eating) and irreducible mental fatigue. All of these symptoms except weight loss can also manifest in type 2 diabetes, also in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled, although unexplained weight loss may be experienced at the onset of the disease. Final diagnosis is made by measuring the blood glucose concentration.
