diabetes symptoms

It seems that the fatter people are likely to have the diabetes. You will feel thirsty, besides, your skin will feel itchy due to this healthy problem. I also learned that your the ants will be around your pee since it contains sugar. If a normal person who loses weight suddenly, it is also a bad sign to show that there is something wrong with your health. I hope your brother will be alright. I love China

I have never known the actual symptoms of diabetes even though I seem to have a lot of friends with diabetes, it seems it is very common these days, I have one friend with a very severe case of it, its a bit scary really.

Many at get diabetes at age 40, might be hereditary type2 diabetic, he should not neglect must visit a dr and get treated as early as possible,the dr will tell him what to eat and what not to eat, he should get his blood sugar measured regularly and monitor it, this should be 70-105 before breakfast, 70-110 before lunch and less than 160 one hour after meals.. Best of luck. Professor

There could be a lot of possibilities - for type 2 diabetes, usually, there's an increase of thirst, going to the toilet a lot, feeling tired, lethargic, itchiness around the genital area - particularly if these signs are present for no apparent reason - it is possible to do a home urine test, or do you know anyone who has diabetes and has a machine that measures sugar levels in the blood? This is just a simple finger test where you just draw a small drop of blood with a sterile pin. But really, it would be better to go to a doctor with your concern as they will be much more efficient and more equipped to form a more accurate diagnosis. Having these symptoms may not necessarily mean diabetes, it could mean something else and the possibilities are endless. Depending on his lifestyle, diet, any changes in his habits, it all depends. I realise it's frustrating having to go to a doctor, I myself, hate going to the doctor and avoid it at all cost and make up a million excuses not to go and wait to the very last moment when I have saved up about 20 things that I need to ask them - and that really annoys them(!) Perhaps you could see a nurse instead or speak to the local pharmacist at a chemist shop, but please try to get some professional medical, just to stop you and your brother worrying, better 10 minutes of time at the doctor than a possible life time of trouble later on...hope this will help. :)

Diabetes is often not diagnosed because many of its symptoms seem harmless. Recent studies show that early detection and treatment of symptoms of diabetes can reduce the likelihood of developing complications from diabetes. Some symptoms of diabetes include: - Frequent urination - Excessive thirst - Extreme hunger - Non-standard weight loss - Increased fatigue - Irritability - Blurred vision Overview of symptoms 1) The early symptoms of diabetes are associated with elevated blood sugar levels, and loss of glucose in urine. High levels of sugar in the urine may lead to increased urine output, leading to dehydration. Dehydration leads to increased thirst and water consumption. 2) The inability of insulin to operate normally has an effect on protein, fat and carbohydrates. Insulin is an anabolic hormone that promotes fat storage and protein. 3) Relative or absolute insulin deficiency leads to weight loss despite increased appetite. 4) Some untreated diabetes patients also complain of fatigue, nausea and vomiting. 5) Patients with diabetes are prone to developing bladder infections, skin and areas of genetaliite. 6) Fluctuations in blood sugar levels can cause blurred vision. Extremely elevated glucose levels, drowsiness and coma.

Your brother should see doctor as soon as possible. Untreated diabetes can lead to blindness and kidney failure, limbs amputation, heart attack and stroke. So as you see this can be very serious and potentially danger for his life. If he start to control his diabetes he can avoid all this problems.

Well, from someone who is Diabetic this is definately one of the signs, but it could mean something else as well. Is he always thirsty? Always tired? These are some of the issues as well. But if he is loosing weight quite fast lately, this is something he needs to get checked out to rule other health issues as well. Just because you are not a certain age means you will always be Healthy, or never get Diabetes or anything. There is not an age factor for this.

three P's: Polyphagia(always hungry), Polydyphsia (always thirsty), Polyuria (always urinating). Your brother should have a check up, diabetes is dangerous when not known and the blood sugar level is not controlled.

hi, i think another symptoms of being diabetic person is very like to dink of massive water and who really wanted to have sleep.because my board mate before had that kind of disease and that what i observed to him.

I think diabetes symptoms take a long time before you know that you have it. I think it is much better for him to have a check up to avoid the gravity of disease. Try to convince him to see the doctor because it is also for his own good. My father in law is having chronic diabetes,his feet look like having elephantiasis and he cannot walk well. The doctor said he also have kidney damage because of his diabetes.

It is specific to the person. Your skin gets flaky and itchy, you are always is a hyper-excited state, you cannot concentrate, cloudy vision etc. It is not good to be in denial so I suggest your brother to get a blod sugar test done A.S.A.P.

What you described looks like it might be diabetes Type 2 (the adult one which needs medicines every day). However the best thing is to see a doctor a specialist and make all blood tests for it, another thing to do is to make the sugar test at an hospital or clinic and see your brother reaction. Go to a Pharmacy and ask for a sugar blood test with a glucometer before eating or 2 hours after eating food and check sugar blood value... if it is over 120...it is not a good news....try!
