Signs to Look For To See If You Are a Diabetic

Most people diagnosed with diabetes did not come to realize they had the condition until they were brought to emergency medical treatment.

Usually the problem is that persons with the disease have no severe symptoms and do not seek medical care at all. On may occasions, people think that they are just simply aging and their symptoms are related to the fact. It is important to regularly screen or test for diabetes especially in the most common age group in the mod 40's where it develops in what is described as Adult Onset Diabetes.

What are the most common signs?

Dry mouth and increased, excessive thirst. These are the most common diabetes type 2 symptom and often the first symptom that people notice as unusual.

Increased urination, this symptom is often overlooked.

Fatigue which has no explanation is another very common symptom and a strong red flag that shouldn't be ignored.

Hunger is often overlooked, especially if weight gain is involved because people think it's normal.Weight gain caused by increased hunger often triggers insulin resistance which is a metabolic syndrome considered a pre-cursor to diabetes.

Irritability is another diabetes symptom that is often overlooked because people just attribute it to other reasons.

Circulation problems which is a symptom signifies one of the most dangerous components of the disease. Circulation problems cause most of the complications of diabetes like high blood pressure, blood vessel blockage in the heart, blood vessel blockage in the brain (stroke), blood vessel blockage to the legs, kidney damage, and nerve damage and eye damage (retinopathy). Of all the diabetes type 2 symptoms, this one should never be ignored... regular visits to the doctor are a must to make sure that diabetes is not causing circulation problems.

Blurred vision is another factor caused by circulation problems and should be a concern as well.
