What are the signs of diabetes?

Question

I get thirsty a lot even though I drink a lot of water and my eyes get blurred even when im am wearing my glasses not to mention it runs in the family. Could I have diabetes?

Answer 1

Some diabetes symptoms include:

Frequent urination
Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Unusual weight loss
Increased fatigue
Irritability
Blurry vision
If you have one or more of these diabetes symptoms, or are concerned at all, see your doctor right away. Your doctor can perform the necessary tests, as well as exam you for signs or symptoms of other underlying problems, and prescribe the proper treatment. You're best left being diagnosed and treated by a professional like your doctor, rather than the folks here on yahoo, who are amateurs, and who cannot physically exam you in person.

Top Diabetes Symptoms:

1. Weight loss
Overly high blood sugar levels can also cause rapid weight loss, say 10 to 20 pounds over two or three months?but this is not a healthy weight loss.
2.Hunger
Excessive pangs of hunger, another sign of diabetes, can come from sharp peaks and lows in blood sugar levels.
3.Skin problems
Itchy skin, perhaps the result of dry skin or poor circulation, can often be a warning sign of diabetes, as are other skin conditions, such as acanthosis nigricans.
4.Slow healing
Infections, cuts, and bruises that don't heal quickly are another classic sign of diabetes.
5.Yeast infections
"Diabetes is considered an immunosuppressed state," Dr. Collazo-Clavell explains. That means heightened susceptibility to a variety of infections, although the most common are yeast (candida) and other fungal infections, she says. Fungi and bacteria both thrive in sugar-rich environments.
6.Fatigue and irritability
"When people have high blood sugar levels, depending on how long it's been, they can get used to chronically not feeling well," says Dr. Collazo-Clavell. "Sometimes that's what brings them into the office."
7.Blurry vision
Having distorted vision and seeing floaters or occasional flashes of light are a direct result of high blood sugar levels.
8.Tingling or numbness
Tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, along with burning pain or swelling, are signs that nerves are being damaged by diabetes.
9.Blood tests
Several tests are used to check for diabetes, but a single test result is never enough on its own to diagnose diabetes (the test has to be repeated).

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.

I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.

Answer 5

Look For These Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes:
Frequent trips to the bathroom
Unquenchable thirst
Losing weight without trying
Weakness and fatigue
Tingling or numbness in hands, legs or feet
Blurred vision, skin that is dry or itchy, frequent infections or cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal are also signs that something is amiss. Again, when these signs are associated with diabetes, they are the result of high glucose levels in the body. If you notice any of the above signs, schedule an appointment with your doctor. He or she will be able to tell you if you have reason to be concerned about a diagnosis of diabetes.

So you're probably best off going to a GP for a checkup, good luck

Answer 6

You certainly could. Those symptoms that you mention are all consistant with diabetes. You should see your doctor to have your blood tested and determine your A1C, which is a test that determines your blood glucose over the past three months. The results will determine if you are diabetic. If you allow the disease to go untreated, it can cause kidney disease which is uncurable and eventually fatal among other dangerous conditions.

Answer 7

You could-vision impairment, thirst and frequent urination are signs of diabetes. If it runs in the family, I would definitely get a test done-get the good one that takes 4 hours to know for sure. If you have family members that live close to you that have it, ask to use their monitor to check your glucose level. I have a 36 year old neighbor in the hospital right now due to a massive heart attack due to not properly caring for himself with diabetes.

goto a doctor and get your blood sugar checked. I know some diabetic people chrunch on ice alot. Other people might not have any symptoms at all and only a blood test would show it.

I live in Portland, Oregon and we just had a diabetic expo I went to and got my blood sugar tested for free. Maybe there is one by where you live.

Answer 10

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include increased thirst and urination, constant hunger, weight loss, blurred vision and extreme tiredness.

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes appear gradually and are vaguer than those associated with type 1 diabetes. Symptoms include feeling tired or ill, frequent urination (especially at night), unusual thirst, weight loss, blurred vision, frequent infections and slow wound healing.
