Diabetes Symptoms: You May Have It
With diabetes symptoms they can be very subtle or even seem harmless. For instance you may also have diabetes for months or even years, along with not exhibiting any symptoms at all. Two top warning signs are the increased need to take in fluids, along with the increase need to urinate. When your kidneys are working overtime to filter out excess sugar, it can build up in your blood. Any extra sugar that cannot be processed is excreted along with fluids. This is the trigger for excessive urination. In turn, this can leave you dehydrated. When you drink more because you're thirsty, you'll keep increasing the visits to the bathroom.
Another symptom is that you can feel tired for many reasons. If you're dehydrated, then you may feel tired without any energy. Also, since your body is less able to use sugar for energy, you become tired more easily. Blurred vision is another indicator for diabetes, some of the time. Blood sugar at high levels pulls fluid from your tissues, including your eyes. You cannot focus properly. If left untreated, diabetes may cause some new blood vessels to form in your retina. If you gain weight, then also watch out for these early signs. Most people won't have lasting effects from these early symptoms. However, if changes progress and are undetected, diabetics may suffer blindness and vision loss.
