What is diabetes and diabetes symptoms.
Diabetes is a disease or a cluster of diseases that affect the metabolism of the body. As a known fact, the food we eat, once digested by our digestive system, is used to provide energy to our body. The process of usage of digested food in the body to provide energy and growth is referred to as metabolism. In diabetes, this Metabolism is interfered, resulting in different diabetes symptoms.
Let us see how this interference takes place.
The end product of most of our digested food is Glucose, a form of sugar. It enters the blood stream after breaking down of food and is the major source of energy to the body. However, to provide this energy, it has to enter the cells inside the blood and for this, Insulin is needed. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas which is ideally required to help absorb the glucose (present in the blood stream) by the cells. But in case of diabetes, it so happens that either insulin is not adequate or the cells somehow are not able to use the produced insulin to absorb the glucose from the blood. As a result, high amounts of glucose remain in the blood stream which is eventually flushed out of the body through urine.This is the basic symbiosis that is at work in all the types of diabetes. Therefore one of the major diabetes symptoms is the high glucose level found in blood and urine.
Other diabetes symptoms which are closely associated with the basic etiology of the disease are:
- Frequent urination. (because of the body’s need to flush out the excess glucose)
- Frequent Thirst.
- Increased hunger.
- Vision problems.
- Uncontrolled weight loss or gain.
- Infections in the body and skin
- Lack of healing ability in the body.
- Tiredness/Fatigue.
- Emotional and psychological issues.
- Numbness.
These diabetes symptoms indicate that you have high amounts of glucose in your blood stream that is not being ideally used by the body. There are different types of diabetes but with almost the same diabetes symptoms. Professional health care and supervision is the first thing advised if you witness any of these. Apart from that, a healthy and appropriate diet along with exercise is highly recommended for a manageable diabetic condition.
