What Are The First Signs Of Diabetes?

Answer Question

5 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Diabetes is a condition in which the body is not able to utilize the glucose obtained from the food we consume to generate energy to be used by various body cells. The glucose instead remains in the blood stream and can lead to various complications involving different organs and life processes.

    The symptoms of diabetes are not easily apparent until it has progressed though certain signs of its development are perceptible. An excessive thirst where one has not performed any activity is one of the first sign of diabetes.

    Other signs are frequent urination especially during the night, feeling of fatigue after any slight activity, feeling hungry constantly, and a desire to eat sweet foods.

    Some other symptoms are blurred vision, feelings of nausea and vomiting, sweet smelling breath, slow healing of wounds and most importantly sudden and unaccounted weight loss.        

    If one observes or experiences any of the above symptoms one should visit one's physician and also get one's blood sugar levels checked.

        My son was 2years old when he developed diabetes, the first signs we noticed were-
        Sore bum, very sensitive to certain foods, he would guzzle loads of water I couldn't give him enough. His behaviour also changed he became emotionally unstable the slightest thing would send him into a tantrum. His weight plummeted really quickly in a short space of time and he would be very drowsy after exercise. These are my sons symptoms and every individual can be different if you suspect you have it, go to the doctor asap it is a very simple urine test takes no time at all. Better to be safe than sorry.
