Vulnerability and Fatigue Signs of

Diabetes

Diabetes also known as diabetes mellitus is of two main types namely: type 1and type 2 diabetes. These two types both have excess amount of glucose present in the blood at the same time not enough amount within the cells of the body.In type 1, elevated glucose levels are because of a lack of insulin that is due to the cells that produce insulin have been eliminated. While in type 2, this is where body cells become resilient against insulin that is being stimulated. In both ways, a patients' cells are not acquiring the amount of glucose that they need and your body gives about signs and symptoms. It includes: Repeated trips to the bathroom. Urination becomes frequent because of too much presence of glucose in the blood. If insulin is ineffective or not existent, kidney can not filter back the glucose in the blood. They become engulfed with and try to produce extra water out of the blood to make the glucose thinner. This will keep the bladder full and it will keep you running towards the bathroom.Unsatisfied thirst. This goes hand in hand with your frequent urination. It is because of the fact that your body is producing extra water from your blood which keep you running to the bathroom more, in turn, you will be dehydrated which leads to the need of having to drink more to replace what you have excreted. Vulnerability and Fatigue. Glucose that is from the food we eat travels through the bloodstream where insulin is presumed to aid the transition of it to the cells of the body. When insulin is not present or if cells do not respond anymore, glucose stays outside the bounds of the cells in the bloodstream. This triggers the break down of muscle tissue and fat for energy.Weight loss without exerting effort. The pancreas ceases the production of insulin because of the viral attack on its cells or because of the autoimmune response that makes the body result to attacking the cells that produce insulin. The body then is desperately looking for a source of energy because of the lack of glucose. Other Symptoms that may Occur. Having a blurred vision, drying or itching skin, having infections, cuts or bruises that take time to heal are signs that should also be observed. These are just the result of high glucose levels and if you notice such signs, consult your doctor to confirm the development of diabetes.
