Diabetes Mellitus: Early signs that you are becoming diabetic | Recognize typical symptoms!

Описание: Diabetes Mellitus is a big problem, especially in industrialized countries. General malaise and fatigue are the first signs that the energy from food (carbohydrates/sugar) is not reaching the body's cells due to insulin resistance. But who goes straight to a doctor for this? The chances of a cure at this stage (prediabetes) are still excellent. When the diagnosis of "type 2 diabetes" is made, there is often already consequential damage, e.g. to the cardiovascular system.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the major widespread diseases. The World Health Organization estimates that diabetes will be one of the 7 leading causes of death by 2030. Even today, many people underestimate just how dangerous the disease can be. However, there is a risk of a number of secondary diseases of the cardiovascular system, kidney dysfunction or blindness and foot amputations. Therefore: Make sure you don't get diabetes and if you do discover the first signs, then go to the doctor and start treatment. And I'm sorry to have to say this: Diabetes is very often the result of 1) a long-term poor diet, 2) a lot of alcohol and 3) little exercise.

Signs of diabetes mellitus no. 1: Frequent urination
With diabetes, the body tries to excrete the increased sugar in the blood via the urine. Those affected may therefore have an increased urge to urinate (polyuria). This is often the first sign of diabetes.

Signs of diabetes mellitus no. 2: a strong feeling of thirst
An increased urge to urinate can result in a lack of water. Those affected then feel an increased need to drink.

Signs of diabetes mellitus no. 3: Dry or itchy skin
Dry skin can also be one of the first signs of diabetes. It also occurs when the body excretes more sugar via the urine and loses fluid in the process.

Signs of diabetes mellitus no. 4: Poorer wound healing and more frequent infections
With diabetes, the immune system is often weakened. This and poorer blood circulation to the skin contribute to wounds healing more slowly.

Signs of diabetes mellitus no. 5: Lack of energy and tiredness
If there is a lack of insulin, the body no longer utilizes its most important source of energy, sugar, properly. If this "fuel" is missing, those affected often feel tired and lacking in energy.

Another important sign is the smell of acetone on the breath. However, it is important to be able to differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes with relative certainty. Only in type 1 diabetes can an acetone smell on the breath be noticeable, reminiscent of overripe fruit. If not enough sugar enters the cells, the body breaks down fat cells. This produces acetone, among other things. It is a sign of a severe insulin deficiency.
