Understanding First Signs of Diabetes

********

In recent decades, diabetes has become one of the leading causes of mortality in the United States. In most of the times, it is really difficult to recognize the first signs of diabetes, especially in the case of diabetes type 2, as either there are no symptoms at all or the symptoms draw a parallel to other insignificant health conditions. In fact, when you become able to notice the signs of diabetes for the first time, it reflects the advanced symptoms one way or another.

In this article, we will focus on identifying those first signs of diabetes that may even seem similar to common health complication, however, if analyzed carefully, may offer the necessary warning signs.

Increased Thirst

This is one of the major early or first signs of diabetes. However, it is normal to feel thirsty, but people with diabetes type 2 may feel more thirsty than normal. In most of the cases, we easily ignore this symptom like any other first signs of diabetes, simply attributing it to a normal occurrence or dry weather. But dry mouth and an increased crave of drinking water can be the first signs of diabetes.

Increased Need for Urination

This is one of the most common first signs of diabetes, however, not much underestimated like other symptoms. In fact, many people consider this symptom seriously and suspect it as the probable symptom of diabetes. The urge of urination may become so vital that it can make the individual and surrounding persons uncomfortable. If you are experiencing this symptom, you should meet your doctor for his advice.

Become Infection Prone

Getting more and more infections is one of the first signs of diabetes. In fact, many people doubt when infections take longer time to heal than usual. Many infections occur due to neuropathy, a condition characterized by nerve damage. Different researchers and medical documents suggest neuropathy and the pervasiveness of infections as the significant first signs of diabetes.

Visual Degradation

Many people report visual complications even when they are not diagnosed with diabetes. It is very difficult to make the prognosis of diabetes from visual degradation including blurriness or haziness of visual clarity, retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, etc. Research suggests individuals with diabetes are at 40% higher risk for developing glaucoma than people without diabetes problem.
Other Symptoms

Fatigue is one of the most unnoticed and underreported first signs of diabetes. Typically people with diabetes experience an increased sense of fatigue; they get very easily exhausted even without doing any hard work. They frequently experience racing heart and dizziness. In addition, their weight may dramatically decrease.
