Urinating Often: We all use the restroom, and sometimes when you are drinking a lot of water, you might need to go more than usual. But if you find your bladder is significantly overactive with no discernible cause, this might be a sign that something isn’t right.Feeling Very Thirsty or Hungry Without Cause: Being hungry is a normal sign of needing to eat, just like feeling thirsty means you need to take a drink. But if you continuously feel hungry or thirsty, no matter how much water you drink or how much food you’ve eaten, this can be an indication that your body isn’t functioning like it should.Wounds Healing Slower: Cuts and bruises are not commonly associated with Diabetes, but when someone’s small wounds aren’t healing quickly, it can be a sign of poor health. Bruises and small cuts or scrapes happen to everyone, and they are supposed to heal within a few days when they are minor. If small wounds don’t seem to be healing right, then this might be an indicator of Diabetes, especially when you are experiencing it with other symptoms.Unexpected Weight Fluctuations: Similar to feelings hungry, no matter how much you eat, another sign of something being wrong in your body is if you experience drastic weight loss without any cause. This symptom is more often an indicator if Type 1 Diabetes, so if you are experiencing extreme weight fluctuations as well as other symptoms, you need to see a doctor immediately for consultation.Tingling or Numbness in Limbs: This symptom is usually an indicator of Type 2 Diabetes. When your hands, feet, or even just fingers and toes, seem to experience frequent tingling and numbness, you should see a doctor to discuss it. This is not always a sign of Diabetes, but if you are experiencing numbness or pain in your hands and feet as well as other Diabetes symptoms, you might be at an increased risk. Diabetes can be a scary disease, especially for those who have a family history of it or are at an increased risk for developing Diabetes. Knowing how to reduce your risk factors is important and can help families everywhere engage in preventative care. Sometimes, though, prevention is not enough. In those moments it is important to know what some of the common symptoms of Diabetes are.While Diabetes is a complex disease that can have many different treatment options for its patients, one thing that every doctor can agree on is that early detection is key. The faster a doctor can diagnose Diabetes; the easier treatment will be. So if you or a loved one are experiencing some of the symptoms we discussed here, then Wyle ER urges you to seek medical advice.
