Diabetes is a serious medical condition that directly affects the metabolism of the body. This is the method in which the body takes digested food and then converts it into energy so we can grow and develop properly. When an individual experiences complications associated with the glucose, or "sugar" in their blood, the end result is usually diabetes. That's why it's important to understand what diabetic symptoms are, so you can catch the disease in its earliest stages.



Many times, if someone suffers from a glucose condition, they will discover that they are frequently very thirsty. This is because the body is not "balanced". In other words, they'll feel thirsty or hungry, when in actuality they're not. While experiencing these symptoms, a diabetic may also experience complications like extreme nausea and vomiting. The imbalance of glucose within the blood can lead to a number of uncomfortable and troublesome symptoms.



Many people also experience problems with their eyes and their vision. When you have high glucose levels on a consistent basis, it puts an unhealthy amount of strain and pressure on the nerves. This can lead to neuropathy. Neuropathy simply means the nerves are damaged. Individuals who experience eye problems will often find after an examination that the retina of the eye has been damaged.



Also, the organs can be affected by neuropathy, resulting in complications in the digestive system such as gas, diarrhea, constipation, and more. Many individuals experience issues with their bladder as well. When this happens urination becomes more frequent and some people even experience accidents.



The next symptom that is almost always present in someone with diabetes is the inability of the body to heal naturally and quickly. The healing process in the body is often hindered to the point when a sufferer of this condition may not only experience issues with healing, but the injury may gradually progress and become worse. This can result in the skin becoming itching, wounds becoming irritated and deep, and infected.



Here's the problem with this list of symptoms. If you look at them one by one you'll notice that they can almost all be attributed to something very common and not as serious. Nausea, vomiting, gas and diarrhea are flu like symptoms, eye problems can be the result of many things, frequent urination can be attributed to a basic bladder infection and so on. If you have any of these things the first thing you think of is not usually diabetes. As a result, many people are diabetic and don't even know it.



If you have any of the symptoms listed here, it is important that you make an appointment with a medical professional right away. If he feels it is necessary, you doctor will schedule a glucose test for you to determine if there are, in fact, complications associated with diabetes. Be sure to inform your doctor of any and all diabetic symptoms that you are experiencing. If you are diagnosed while your condition is still mild, it is much easier to keep the disease under control.
