How diabetes manifests itself - the main signs

I myself have never suffered from diabetes, but many of my acquaintances told how they managed to find the disease in themselves. In one old book, found at my grandmother's, it was written how to determine the symptoms of the disease. Here are some of the symptoms that can be signals of this disease.

What the tests say

Of course, the most reliable way to determine this disease is to take a blood and urine test for sugar. I heard that only he can give the correct result. People with diabetes have a hereditary predisposition to this disease, and if the amount blood glucose exceeds 6.1 mmol / p and this has been repeated several times, which means you are already sick diabetes. Such an indicator before meals suggests that insulin is poorly processed by the body if you were tested on an empty stomach.

Indicator 11, 1 or more after eating, alas, told many of my friends about diabetes, however, I was told that there are borderline states. They can occur for various reasons - blood glucose values ​​will change if you are tested at a different time. A harbinger of diabetes is a stable blood glucose of 6.1 in a person who has not yet eaten. In this case, it is worth talking about the diagnosis.

What will tell about the state of health with diabetes

I was surprised to learn that diabetes can be asymptomatic over many months and even years. In some cases, the disease can develop in 2 weeks. The following symptoms may be cause for concern:

• Constant thirst, dry mouth. When drinking water, a lot of urine is excreted. This is because diabetes dehydrates the body, which cannot digest glucose and flushes out excess fluid along with it. Dehydration can lead to a sharp deterioration in health, but thirst can be a symptom of other diseases, habits, I heard that smokers who dry out mucous membranes with cigarette smoke can constantly experience thirst;
• Dramatic weight loss. A person constantly eats and loses weight, but do not be happy - diabetes can quickly provoke cell degeneration;
• Lethargy, apathy. Constant sleepiness and fatigue, as I heard, can appear not only from overload, but also due to diabetes;
• Skin problems. I heard that with diabetes, wounds begin to heal very badly, fester, and even minor scratches.

I heard that against the background of even asymptomatic diabetes, diseases such as blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and much more can develop. Even frequent boils and fungi indicate a disease.

Therefore, having found symptoms, pass tests several times and consult a specialist.

And what symptoms of diabetes did you, your relatives and friends have?
