Diabetes Symptoms Explained
Often, you may read about diabetes symptoms but the reasons why those symptoms manifest are not really discussed.
This article will talk about the possible diabetes symptoms a diabetic might experience and explain what’s happening in the body that caused such symptoms.
Here’s a table of common Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes symptoms and their corresponding scientific explanations.
| Diabetes Symptoms | Cause(s) of Diabetes Symptoms |
|---|---|
| Frequent Urination | The high blood sugar level increases the blood’s osmolality. This tends to pull fluid out of tissues and into the bloodstream (through osmosis). Your kidneys get an increased fluid load delivered to them and make more urine because of it. |
| Unusual Thirst | There are two reasons. First, diabetics frequently feel thisty due to their frequent urination as explained above. Second, a diabetic’s body always sends signals to the brain to drink more water to dilute the blood glucose levels back to normal. |
| Extreme and Frequent Pangs of Hunger | The diabetes symptom of frequent and extreme hunger is caused by the fact that diabetes is a metabolic disorder. The body’s cells do not get enough glucose thus they become “hungry.” Essentially, the brain receives a ”message” from the cells that they need glucose (food) and it needs as much as you can give them. |
| Unusual Weight Loss | With diabetes, a person may eat more than normal, but still lose weight because the muscle tissues don’t get enough glucose to generate growth and energy. |
| Fatigue and Irritability | What makes you tired and irritable is that the cells that aren’t absorbing the sugar are starving from the lack of sugar and they put off toxins called Ketones. |
| Frequent Infections | High blood sugar levels can weaken the patient’s immune system defenses. In addition, some diabetes-related health issues, such as nerve damage and reduced blood flow to the extremities, increase the body’s vulnerability to infection. |
| Blurred Vision | High levels of blood sugar pull fluid out of the tissues in your body, including the lenses of your eyes. This affects your ability to focus greatly. Over a long period of time, diabetes can damage old blood vessels in your eyes and this could eventually lead to more serious complications such as blindness. |
| Slow-healing Cuts and Bruises | Uncontrolled blood glucose may adversely affect the immune system which is fighting the germs who have contaminated the wound, as a result healing is delayed. |
If you have diabetes mellitus, you could be having these symptoms constantly. The condition must be treated and blood glucose levels should be stabilized to normal levels to end the discomfort associated with diabetes symptoms.
