Today is World Diabetes Day, diabetes is a chronic disease that seriously jeopardizes human health, the key to preventing and controlling diabetes is early, that is, early diagnosis and early treatment. So, what are the early symptoms of diabetes? Typical clinical manifestations of diabetes are three more and one less, i.e. more drinking, more eating, more urination and weight loss. However, less than half of all diabetic patients have typical symptoms, especially type 2 diabetes, which has an insidious onset and usually has no significant symptoms, and is only detected during medical checkups or other medical checkups. Therefore, should also be good at recognizing the early atypical symptoms of diabetes or suspicious performance, early detection of diabetes is very important. First, polyuria The efficiency of converting food into sugar decreases in the body of diabetic patients, resulting in increased sugar levels in the blood. In order to protect itself, the body has to excrete excess sugar through urine, resulting in a significant increase in urine output. Second, thirst Increased urination will lead to dry mouth, this time do not use sugary drinks to quench their thirst, so as not to increase the sugar content in the blood, aggravating the condition. Slight weight loss Overweight is a risk factor for diabetes, and slight weight loss may not sound like a sign of diabetes. In fact, there are two main reasons for diabetes to cause a slight weight loss, one is part of the water from the urine; the second is frequent urination will also take away some calories. Fourth, weakness and hunger High blood sugar means that the body has problems regulating blood sugar. If you eat high-carbohydrate foods (such as refined rice and white flour), insulin will rise, causing a rapid drop in blood sugar. This will make people feel weak, and then crave for more carbohydrates, leading to a vicious cycle. Fifth, the feeling of constant fatigue Constant fatigue is an important sign, which may mean that the food eaten is not broken down or utilized by the cells. As the body does not get the energy it needs, it gets tired. type 2 diabetics tend to experience these symptoms more slowly as their blood sugar levels rise over time. Sixth, moody and grumpy You will feel uncomfortable when your blood sugar is abnormal and may become more irritable. In fact, symptoms of depression may also occur with high blood sugar, such as feeling tired, not liking to do things, not wanting to go out, and just wanting to sleep. Seven, blurred vision In the early stages of diabetes, as glucose builds up in the eyes, it temporarily changes its shape, causing the eyes to be unable to focus. After the blood sugar stabilizes for about six to eight weeks, the burnt vision symptoms will disappear and the eyes will adjust automatically. It should be noted that this symptom in the early stage of diabetes is not diabetic retinopathy. Wound healing is slow Diabetic patients with elevated blood sugar levels, decreased immune function, resulting in the body’s self-healing ability to weaken. Nine, numbness of the feet After elevated blood sugar levels, mild nerve damage may occur, causing numbness of the feet. Ten, skin performance High blood sugar can stimulate the skin nerve endings and cause skin itching, especially women vulvar itching; at the same time, due to the decline in local resistance, the skin is prone to infection boils all over the skin and skin fungal infections (such as ringworm, tinea pedis, ringworm, tinea pedis, etc.), folliculitis, boils, canker sores, blisters, and other skin lesions, very stubborn, long-lasting treatment. So beware of this may be caused by diabetes. Sexual dysfunction High blood sugar can lead to neurological and vascular lesions, thus causing male sexual dysfunction, which can lead to symptoms of decreased libido and weak erection. Therefore, in the past, normal sexual function of middle-aged men, impotence or erectile dysfunction, should be timely blood glucose tests to exclude diabetes. According to the survey, men with diabetes combined with impotence accounted for about 50%. Twelve, children nocturnal enuresis Children suddenly in a period of time urinate more frequently, and often do not wet the bed of the children appear bedwetting phenomenon, this time the parents do not just blame the child, should take the child in time to carry out diabetes examination. Anyone who has one of the above symptoms, even if there is no typical “three more and one less” symptoms, should go to the hospital as soon as possible, blood glucose and urine glucose tests, so as not to be missed diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.
