Early Detection
Most of the time diabetes is not being diagnosed
because the initial symptoms are not considered
to be very harmfull. This is a problem because early
detection will give you a much greater chance of
slowing down the harmful effects at a later stage.
New techniques in the future should assist in
diagnosing diabetes much quicker. But for now it's
not an easy task for yourself and the medical
professionals helping you with your problems.
This page takes a closer look at the various
diabetes symptoms.

Diabetes Symptoms
Here is a small list of possible signs of diabetes.
We need to stress that having any or more of
these symptoms does NOT mean you have diabetes.
They can merely be considered guidelines. However,
when you have more than one of these symptoms
your doctor should do a thorough investigation to
determine the cause.

Blurry vision

Frequent urination

Extreme hunger

Extreme thirst

Unusual weight loss

Increased fatigue

Easily irritated

Again, if you have 2 or more of these symptoms
then there is a chance you have diabetes. We
suggest you visit your doctor and clearly describe
the problems you are having!

The Extreme Hunger Symptom
We would like to explain this symptom in a bit
more detail. Diabetics can not optimally use
glucose as an energy source. This causes the
feeling of hunger, as quite a large part of the
glucose is being filtered out as it's not being
absorbed by your cells as "human fuel". It then
ends up in your urine. The interesting part is that
the "lost" fuel takes water with it and in turn
causes you to have an extreme feeling of thirst, as
water is leaving your body at an unusual, abnormal
frequency. Frequent runs to the toilet are the
result.


Other possible symptoms
Another possible symptom related to diabetes
is erectile dysfunction. This is due to the fact that
diabetes affects the blood flow.

Type 2 diabetes is harder to detect, only when
some of the harsher symptoms appear is it being
noticed.

Did you know that over 2000 new cases of
diabetes are diagnosed in the United States alone?
Future technologies should make detection a lot
more easier and accurate. Experts are suggesting
that people over 45 should be tested frequently
for diabetes.
