Identifying diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, means having the willingness to take a good hard look at your health and being honest about what symptoms you may be experiencing. Thousands of people every year are suffering in one form or another from type 2 diabetes, yet ignore these symptoms before it's too late.
Below is a list of signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes. It is recommended that you read these items very carefully and if one or more of them rings true in your life then you should see a doctor immediately for further testing.
1. Do you experience slower than normal healing of your skin, your gums, or urinary infections? What is happening here is that your body contains white blood cells that are not effectively doing the job that they are supposed to be doing. These white blood cells that are prevalent in our bodies are designed to help heal and defend us against infections. Unfortunately, these cells do not function very well in a high glucose environment. In addition, these infections are caused by bugs which also thrive in a high glucose environment.
2. Are you constantly thirsty and experience frequent urination? Experiencing a thirst that you just cannot seem to quench, 24 hours a day/seven days a week, is a very common side effect of diabetes. This also a symptom of type 1 diabetes. A high glucose environment severely dehydrates your body and prevents you from holding on to the water that you are consuming.
3. Have you tested positive for heart disease or does heart disease run in your family? Heart disease is an illness that affects a large number of the US population. Unfortunately, heart disease often leads to diabetes. You may also have heart disease without having been diagnosed with diabetes because you are currently glucose intolerant. Therefore, whatever measures you are taking to aid in your heart disease illness, you should ask your doctor about the possibility of type 2 diabetes and any preventative measures that you can take.
