Diabetes is one of the most popular diseases. The qualifications of Eastern European doctors allow us to explain the true nature of this disease. How to recognize diabetes and eliminate it in time? Let's try to figure it out.
Diabetes and its savory machinations
Diabetes is characterized by a relative or absolute deficiency of the hormone insulin. This leads to hyperglycemia, which is expressed in a persistent increase in blood glucose levels. Diabetes is manifested in a complete violation of the metabolism of all substances in the body and can lead to death. This disease is divided into two degrees: first and second. Patients of the first degree received diabetes by inheritance. In this case, the disease gradually develops with age. In some cases, this disease becomes a consequence of a number of infectious diseases, such as measles, influenza or rubella. Patients of the second degree acquired diabetes on their own, as a result of an unbalanced diet, which leads to excessive body weight.
The symptoms of diabetes may resemble a number of other diseases, but may well be a reason to go to the doctor. The correct diagnosis is easily established with a blood or urine test.
Key signs of malicious diabetes
The symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes overlap in many ways, but they are different.
Walking balance
This symptom is characteristic only for patients of the first group. Regardless of the diet and amount of food consumed, they continue to lose weight. This is due to a metabolic disorder.
Beastly Hunger
Sick both types suffer from extreme hunger. The reason is that the body is trying to replenish the disturbed insulin balance.
Unquenchable Thirst
Such patients suffer from increased thirst and can drink about five liters of water a day. Thirst is accompanied by severe dryness in the mouth. This is due to the fact that the body is trying to remove excess glucose from the blood. To do this, he needs a lot of water.
Tongue sticking to the walls of the mouth.
On the one hand, this is due to dry mouth, on the other – with an increase in sugar in the body.
Smell of acetone breath
This is due to an increased level of ketone bodies in the blood. At their high concentration the smell of acetone can be heard from the patient's mouth.
An increased amount of ketone bodies is due to the fact that insulin production is impaired in the body. In this case, the cells cannot consume glucose and begin to replenish the energy balance from fat.
For the second type sick Diabetes, this symptom is not threatening, but for the second it can be fatal. If the balance of ketone bodies in the blood is not regulated, the patient may be tormented by uncontrollable vomiting and coma may occur.
Dual vision
Impairment of the chemical balance in the body leads to vision problems. Such patients complain of a feeling of sand in the eyes. A flickering black dot may appear before the eyes, the image may double.
Eternal abrasions and cuts
Abrasions, cuts and scratches do not heal for a long time in patients with type 1 diabetes. Cell regeneration to heal damage is significantly slowed down. This is due to the increased content of glucose in the blood, which has a toxic effect on all tissues of the body. Under the influence of the toxin, the skin cannot quickly tighten. In addition, diabetes creates fertile ground for the development of infections.
Skin discomfort and strange sweating
When perspiration, patients experience itching on the surface of the skin. This is caused by the high content of glucose in sweat secretions. It also contributes to the rapid multiplication of various infections. Therefore, diabetics often suffer from skin ailments, and women suffer from thrush.
Tired sleepiness
Due to metabolic disorders, the body cannot provide itself with the correct saturation of the components it needs. As a result, the level of productivity is significantly reduced, which is expressed in chronic fatigue and increased sleepiness.
