Are Your Symptoms Really Indicative of Diabetes

By Vania Kraft


Identifying the primary signs of diabetes can help you avoid complications with the disease. Unfortunately, many of the signs of diabetes that present themselves outside of the body are also signs of other sicknesses.

The most distinctive indicator of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is that the body no longer produces insulin the way it usually does. Of course, this is not as recognizable as, say, the symptoms of the common flu. Often, this is only discovered when you visit your medical professional for another issue. The decrease of insulin is noticed when your blood or organs have testing done on them. Type 1, which usually gets diagnosed in a person's early ears, is almost always found because a doctor is trying to diagnose an infection.

Occasionally it could be a sign of a major illness. Other times it simply means that you need to get more sleep at night. However, when it is occurring because of diabetes, the fatigue is outrageous. Someone dealing with this type of fatigue probably gets more than enough sleep at night and, even if he is not very active, will often feel absolutely exhausted. This is the type of sleepiness that is often thought of when mononucleosis is brought up and can be just as limiting. Watch out for your energy levels. If you don't see any reason why you're feeling so dang tired, consult your medical professional and see if they'll do some testing.

One of the diabetes symptoms that is harder to recognize, especially in yourself is an altered mental state. We all experience days where we just can't focus. If you are all of a sudden feeling agitated, confused or even irritable and can't seem to figure out why you feel that way, it could be due to the fact you are feeling one of the syndromes of diabetes. It is not hard to realize this in others, however it is more difficult to see it in yourself.

You might not even be aware that you're acting different. It's when someone asks "what's wrong with you" that you should find out. On some occasions, it is just a bad mood. Other times it is a sign that something is going wrong internally and physically.

Is it hard to concentrate on your tasks? Do you have suddent unexplained bouts of syncope? These may signify diabetes. Diabetes prohibits the body's ability to regulate insulin and blood sugar levels. Uncontrolled blood sugar levels can cause light headedness and lead to fainting. Your well being depends heavily on you knowing what to do when you experience these symptoms especially if your energy levels are fluctuating along with them, see your doctor now. It could be that you have hypoglycemia. Or you could simply need insulin treatments. Only your doctor can tell you for sure either way.

Diagnosing diabetes is really tough. This is on account of many of the warning signs mimicking the warning signs of other illnesses, as well. The most direct indicators can only be noticed after extensive testing. Still, there are physical indicators and diabetes warning that you should keep an eye out for. Diabetes is a somber sickness, especially if it isn't dealt with in a proper manner. Appropriate treatment is dependent on a real diagnosis. So, if you notice that your body is out of whack, you should call your doctor. What you assume is a cold may turn out to be diabetes.
