What are signs That you may be Diabetic?

Question

I cannot go to a doctor until next month and want to know what are some signs that you are?

Answer 1

First of all, see your doctor. Priority one: Don't want to lecture but if you are truly concerned. Go, make the time, make the doctor make the time. I admittedly bad with this myself. It's called Denial.

This link sums it up pretty well. And I put the symptoms below for me. Turns out I had 3 of the symptoms. Weight loss for no reason, Constant need to go the bathroom and constant insatiable thirst.

Unquenchable Thirst:
If it feels like you can't get enough water and you're drinking much more than usual, it could be a sign of diabetes, especially if it seems to go hand in hand with frequent urination. If your body is pulling extra water out of your blood and you're running to the bathroom more, you will become dehydrated and feel the need to drink more to replace the water that you are losing.

Losing Weight Without Trying:
This symptom is more noticeable with Type 1 diabetes. In Type 1, the pancreas stops making insulin, possibly due to a viral attack on pancreas cells or because an autoimmune response makes the body attack the insulin producing cells. The body desperately looks for an energy source because the cells aren't getting glucose. It starts to break down muscle tissue and fat for energy. Type 2 happens gradually with increasing insulin resistance so weight loss is not as noticeable.

Weakness and Fatigue:
It's that bad boy glucose again. Glucose from the food we eat travels into the bloodstream where insulin is supposed to help it transition into the cells of our body. The cells use it to produce the energy we need to live. When the insulin isn't there or if the cells don't react to it anymore, then the glucose stays outside the cells in the bloodstream. The cells become energy starved and you feel tired and run down.

Tingling or Numbness in Your Hands, Legs or Feet:
This symptom is called neuropathy. It occurs gradually over time as consistently high glucose in the blood damages the nervous system, particularly in the extremities. Type 2 diabetes is a gradual onset, and people are often not aware that they have it. Therefore, blood sugar might have been high for more than a few years before a diagnosis is made. Nerve damage can creep up without our knowledge. Neuropathy can very often improve when tighter blood glucose control is achieved.

Other Signs and Symptoms That Can Occur:
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.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.

Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!

I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

Answer 5

I've been diabetic for 20 years. Warning signs are constant thirst, rapid weightloss and extreme fatigue. You can purchase a starter kit glucometer from Walgreens for approx $15.00. I would recommend getting evaluated by your doctor immediately if you are showing warning signs. Although diabetes is a serious disease, it is one of the most controllable ones when provided with the proper information ,medicine and control. I have posted a link for you to review. Again, I have been diatetic for 20 years (was 15 when I was diagnosed) and I am healthy with no complications. I hope I was helpful.

Answer 6

Well, my wife is in the same boat. She's like "way" over weight! She's always tired, poor circulation in the feet and hands, can't loose weight with any diet. That's it. The Doc on the phone said it was possibly diabetes, but a simple blood test will show. I wouldn't be too concerned if you are not passing out or having drastic complications. My wife get pretty fuzzy if she doesn't eat, and a candy bar can set her back to normal, "THAT" scares me into thinking it's diabetic. However, if it's controlled by a diet, hell, that's what half the world is doing now, dieting!

Answer 7

Excessive thirst & urinating are the 2 most common, weight loss, blurry vision are 2 others. If you suspect you are diabetic ask your doctor for a glucose intolerance test. That is how I found out i'm diabetic & now on insulin...if caught it's controllable with pills.

Answer 8

Frequent urination Excessive thirst Extreme hunger Unusual weight loss Increased fatigue Irritability Blurry vision
