16 Early Signs of Diabetes

March 19, 2018 | More Articles: Symptoms

Type 2 diabetes is one of the major degenerative diseases in the Western world today. It happens when your body can’t use insulin properly, or can’t make enough insulin. Insulin is a hormone the assists the body’s cells in utilizing glucose. It also helps the body store extra sugar in fat, liver, and muscle cells. If you don’t have insulin, your body can’t use the sugar in the bloodstream.

Then, your blood sugar levels get too high. High blood sugar can have a deleterious effect on many parts of your body, including heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys. Those who are overweight, don’t exercise enough, or have a history of type 2 diabetes in their family are more likely to get the disease. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet, and getting enough exercise can prevent type 2 diabetes. If you have a history of diabetes in your family, or if you are overweight, stay ahead of the disease by making healthy lifestyle choices and changing your diet.

1. Increased Frequency of Urination

Frequent urination is an early warning symptom of diabetes. When there is too much glucose in the blood, the kidneys work overtime to flush it out of the blood via urination. So, you’ll find yourself going to bathroom a lot more often than normal. There is also a bigger risk of urinary tractions in both men and women.

Individuals with diabetes have two times the likelihood of getting a urinary tract infection compared to individuals without the disease. If you find yourself getting up every couple of hours in the middle of the night, and you seem to be expelling a lot more urine than you used to, talk to your doctor and find out whether or not you have diabetes.

Increased urinary frequency is called polyuria, and individuals with diabetes are unable to regulate blood sugar levels. When too much sugar’s in the bloodstream, more fluids will pass through your kidneys.
