The First Five Indications That Diabetes Is Around The Corner!

by Julia Hanf

The glucose, which remains unused by your body, accumulates in the bloodstream, making the blood-sugar levels rise to alarming levels. Your kidneys then try to strain out the glucose from your blood and discard it, which they do by diluting it with a large amount of water, which is then excreted in the form of urine. The large amounts of water and unwaveringly high levels of glucose mean that the amount of urine produced is a lot higher than is usual, and so, you will find that you need to urinate almost all through the day.

The next symptom, which is excessive thirst, is a direct consequence of urinating more than is usual. When the water levels in your body are depleted, your body faces a state of dehydration, making your brain send thirst signals. However, this is a vicious cycle that your body is trapped in, as irrespective of the amount of water you drink, you are still excreting a large percentage of that same water out of your system, making your body as parched as it formerly was.

When your bodys glucose utilizing capacity decreases, the cells in your body are starved of the energy they depend on the glucose for. And hence, even though you arent eating any less than you are accustomed to, you will still find that you feel lightheaded, faint and giddy. Although this is one of the most easily discernable signs of diabetes, this is also the most easily misunderstood. Many people account this weakness to fatigue and try to rest it away, which lets the disease continue on its silent path.

As the levels of glucose in your bloodstream continue to shoot up, they begin to damage the nerves in your body. This damage is particularly palpable in the extremities, which are our fingertips and feet. Consequently, you may begin to feel numb in these parts of your body, which gradually increases as the damage becomes more rampant. This condition, which is one of the few early signs of diabetes, is termed as Diabetic Neuropathy.

Diabetes also impairs the circulation of blood in your body, which means that cuts and wounds if any, will take a lot longer to heal. Also, you may also find yourself prone to more fungal infections, especially in areas where your skin is warm and moist. These infections are caused by the high levels of glucose in your blood, which act as nourishment for fungi and bacteria to breed on.

The pre-diabetic phase, which is a summation of all these symptoms put together, is variable in the amount of time it takes to develop into diabetes. In some cases, the pre-diabetic phase lasts for more than a decade, often developing into diabetes only once the individual has reached middle or old-age. In a few other cases, however, the re-diabetic phase is a fleeting occurrence which lasts for barely a couple of months before diabetes sets in. the good news is that by recognizing your disease at its earliest stages and taking appropriate precautions can arrest your disease for the rest of your life. And so, if any of these conditions sound familiar to you, notify your physician immediately it may save from you a host of complications in the years to follow!
