Diabetes is a disease of metabolic disorder. The body of the diabetics becomes unable to process sugar in blood. This inability of body leads to high-level of blood sugar. High levels of blood glucose further leads to many short and long-term health related problems. Diabetics sometimes can spend many years without knowing of their health condition as there are not any obvious symptoms. Some classic diabetic symptoms are covered in the following passages.
Frequent Urination or Polyuria: If the level of blood sugar is high then sugar has to be excreted from the bloodstream. This extraction makes a saturated solution that has to be diluted by extracting some water from the surrounding tissues. This extraction of extra water causes excessive urination.
Excessive Thirst or Polydipsia: This diabetic symptom is related to polyuria, the diabetic's body needs to replace the water he is flushing away. High-level of blood sugar gives a signal to brain that more fluid is required.
Excessive Hunger or Polyphagia: The energy to the body is provided by the sugar in the bloodstream. If the body is unable to properly use the sugar in the bloodstream, the body has a lack of energy. The enery deficient cells then give a signal to brain that the body requires more food and the person feels hungry.
Other Signs Of Diabetes
Fatigue and Tiredness: As the body is not using the blood sugar properly to convert it into energy the person feels that he is fatigued or tired.
Blurred Vision: Constant level of high blood sugar leads to some osmotic changes in the eye's lens which leads to blurriness in vision.
Numbness in Hands and Feet: Numbness in feet and hands is the result of poor circulation of blood. Sometimes it is because of nerve breakage because of consistent level of high blood glucose over a period of time. Diabetic feels like someone is pricking needles and pins in the tips of feet and hands.
Some of these diabetic signs are obvious others are less obvious. Normally people learn to live with these diabetic symptoms till the time come when serious health complications arises.
