Diabetes signs.

Diabetes is a lifelong chronic condition that affects over 285 million people globally. There is no known cure for diabetes once diagnosed with the disease, lifestyle changes in diet, exercise and medications are used to control the disease.  Diabetes is  a progressive disease which means that diabetes signs might not be noticeable for quite some time before diagnosis. Many of the Diabetes signs are often ignored or dismissed however until its too late.

Statistics show that the average patient can be pre diabetic or borderline diabetic for as much as 10 years with little or no diabetes signs, so it is important to keep a weather eye on these diabetes signs.

The following are the 15 most common diabetes signs

1. Extreme thirst
2. Frequent urination
3. Dry Skin
4. Hunger
5. Blurred Vision
6. Drowsiness/fatigue/weakness
7. Nausea
8. Unexplained fast weightloss
9. Shaking
10. Fast heart beat
11. Sweating
12. Anxious
13. Dizziness
14. Headache
15. Irritability

The optimal ranges for normal blood glucose is 70-115 mgdl fasting and 2 hrs post meal, anything between 115-200mgdl is still considered optimal so if there are a few other diabetes symptoms, a simple Blood Glucose test will put some fears to rest.

If the diabetes signs persist please consult a doctor.
