Diabetes
Symptoms
More than
two thousand cases of diabetes are diagnosed in the U.S.every
day, but what has medical experts worried the most is the
silent way diabetes symptoms "sneak up" on those
who may be diagnosed later with severe symptoms and related
life-threatening complications.
Although
Type 1 or juvenile diabetes symptoms tend to occur quite suddenly
in kids & young adults, blood sugar levels in the more
common Type 2 diabetes slowly rises over time - presenting
few if any initial symptoms in the first few years.
The early
signs of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes often show up in
frequent thirst, repeated trips to the bathroom, and debilitating
fatigue. Dizziness or blurred vision are other common symptoms
that occur from poor circulation.
Symptoms
may come and go as the body tries to heal itself, but as the
body continues to weakens in its ability to process sugar,
later complications can include chronic urinary infections,
or mild-to-moderate nerve damage in the form of tingling or
numbness in the hands and feet.
As sugar
levels continue to rise in the bloodstream, more severe complications
may include heart
disease or stroke,
kidney
disease, or circulatory problems surrounding the eye leading
to cataracts,
glaucoma
or blindness.
