Diabetes is one of the diseases referred to as a "silent killer" because it can develop without obvious symptoms to help diagnose.
In fact, it is estimated that one in three people does not know they have them, which increases the risk of serious complications.
For this reason, it is important to know what the first signs are and when to consult with your doctor for the appropriate tests.
1. Increased hunger
Due to extreme highs and lows in blood sugar levels, the body develops a sudden urge to eat. The cells don’t get enough glucose, so you crave it.
2. Vision problems
High blood sugar also affects the eyes. It changes the shape of the lens and eyes. As a result, your vision becomes blurry. You can see occasional flashes of light and the vision gets distorted. Initially, the changes in the eyes are reversible. However, if sugar levels stay high for a long period of time, this can cause permanent damage and can even lead to eyesight loss.
3. Unexplained weight loss or gain
Unexplained weight loss or gain can be caused by the body’s inability to use insulin due to diabetes. Because it prevents the proper levels of glucose from reaching your cells, the body begins to use muscle protein for energy.
4. Infections
Because bacteria, viruses, and fungi are better able to grow in environments with high levels of glucose, infections become more common.
5. Dry mouth
You experience a lack of moisture in the mouth, which can be both unpleasant and dangerous. Dry mouth can become a breeding ground for bacteria and cause different oral and dental problems.
