diseases that accompany the golden years. Along with
grandchildren and retirement, they are faced with ailments from
arthritis to diabetes. The thought of getting a disease such as
diabetes can be worrisome, it helps to be aware of what diabetes
symptoms are and be able to recognize them early enough to get
the help you will need to get the disease under control.
1- There are some common diabetes symptoms that should be
checked out by a physician. By themselves, each symptom is not a
cause for alarm. However, if more than a couple are noticed at
one time, an appointment with your primary care physician should
be made without hesitation.
2- The first thing that you should know about diabetes is, it is
very important to pay attention to your body. There are over one
million new diagnoses of diabetes that are made each year.
Diabetes is directly or indirectly the cause of approximately
200,000 deaths every year. It is estimated that 17 million
people in America have diabetes, it is also estimated that
approximately one third of these people do not even know they
have the disease.
3- The reason that so many people do not know that they may have
diabetes is because some people show no diabetes symptoms.
Therefore, it is very important to have blood work checked every
year after the age of 45. This is often part of a routine
physical at this age, but it is always a good idea to check with
the doctor to make sure the test is being run.
4- There are several diabetes symptoms to be on the look out
for, they include, but are not limited to: Sudden weight loss
Drinking excessive amounts of water Excessive urination Feeling
a numbness or tingling in the hands or feet Having infections
more often than usual Being slow to heal from a wound It is also
important to note that any one person may have all, some or none
of these diabetes symptoms. These symptoms can also be
experienced in any combination.
5- Along with this list of symptoms, diabetes can also be
accompanied by stomach pains, vomiting or nausea. If these
symptoms occur in conjunction with the list, it could be the
immediate onset of type 1 diabetes, otherwise known as
insulin-dependent diabetes. When you call your doctors' office
for an appointment, be sure to tell them you are experiencing
possible diabetes symptoms and that you need to be seen right
away.
