Type 2 diabetes is hard to
diagnose without monitoring glucose levels because diabetes warning
signs can be mild at first and very general in nature. Very often, the
disease is discovered accidentally when a patient comes to see his or
her doctor for another illness. It's advised to contact your physician
when you're experiencing several of the following warning
signs:
- Urinating more than you
would normally
do:
Because the blood sugar level is too high, the kidneys will produce
more urine to try and get rid of superfluous glucose. You will probably
have to get up out of bed once or more per night to go to the
bathroom.
- Feeling excessively
thirsty:
Because you're urinating a lot, you're losing a lot of fluids and your
body will feel like it needs to compensate for that. This can also
manifest itself in the form of a dry mouth and tongue. Be sure to drink
a lot of water and avoid alcoholic beverages, so that you don't
dehydrate.
- Feeling excessively
hungry:
Because insulin levels in the brain are too low, it won't be able to
absorb glucose sufficiently. The brain will think it is undernourished
and send out a distress signal. You will feel cravings even though your
food intake is normal. Just because you feel hungry, doesn't mean that
you are hungry! Stevia can help you control these cravings!
- Feeling very tired,
dizzy or listless:
Even when you're not exerting yourself, you will feel very tired
because the glucose in your body isn't being turned into energy.
Dizziness can occur because of the effect on your blood pressure
levels.
- Unexplained weight
changes:
Even though your eating patterns are the same as they always were,
you're either losing weight because your body is shedding glucose, or
you're gaining weight because the glucose is being turned into body
fat.
When you start having frequent boils on your skin, aphthae on your
gums, or your genital area or bladder are overly sensitive to
infection, this might also be beginning signs of diabetes. Stevia can
be used to treat skin infections!
- Numbness and bad healing
of cuts:
Tingly sensations or numbness, especially in the nerves of your hands
and feet, will prevent you from feeling pain caused by cuts or bruises.
On top of that, cuts will fail to scar and heal properly. Stevia will
help your cuts to scar quickly!
Diabetes can cause blurry vision and even temporary blindness because
of increased fragility of the optic nerves or retina. Eye infections
and redness or swelling around the eyes may also
occur.
Since the genital nerves and blood vessels are very sensitive, erectile
dysfunctions may be one of the many diabetes warning signs.
