Diabetes is a human metabolic disorder characterized by increased concentration of sugar in the blood or hyperglycemia. In most cases, signs of diabetes go unnoticed or undiagnosed. This is because the symptoms of diabetes are quite common and appear harmless. Some of these signs of diabetes include:



Polydypsia - Increased blood glucose concentration or hyperglycemia thickens the blood and causes it to become more viscous. At the same time, the condition signals the brain to look for ways to dilute the blood. As a result, a diabetic individual suffers with excessive thirst.



Polyphegia - Insulin is a hormone that is secreted by the pancreas only during low blood glucose levels, a condition also known as hunger. In case of Type 2 diabetes, insulin is constantly secreted into the blood but is not utilized. Due to presence of insulin in the blood, a diabetic individual suffers with extreme hunger and tends to consume excess food.



Polyurea - Anything that is present in excess inside the body is excreted through the kidneys. The same happens even if extra glucose is present in the blood. Individuals suffering with diabetes tend to suffer with frequent urination. As a result of this, these individuals lose excessive amounts of water from the body, thereby ending up with dehydration.



The above mentioned are the three most significant symptoms of diabetes. Apart from these, other signs of diabetes include increased fatigue resulting due to a negative calorie effect, fluctuating weights occurring as a result of increased breakdown of fats and essential proteins, blurred vision that occurs due to lack of water in the eyes, irritability, higher incidence of infections, poor wound healing and reduced blood circulation due to thickening of blood vessels.



By simply knowing the more common signs of diabetes, you can help get you or a loved one the necessary treatment they need more quickly. Early detection of diabetes can be very helpful in protecting the body. For this reason, we recommend you look into this issue further if you believe you or a loved one may have the symptoms of diabetes.
