Early Symptoms and Signs of Diabetes

Early symptoms and signs of diabetes - understand the signs and symptoms as well as how Diabetes is diagnosed is extremely important. Awareness of this will help stay alert, if risky, and reach out to practitioners and health care facility for initial assessment. For those already diagnosed, early detection of symptoms it implies the beginning of early treatment and complications is lower in the long term. If there is a family history of diabetes and if you experience any or all of the following classic triad-diabetes

increased thirst (Polydipsia),
increased urinary frequency (Polyuria) or
increased hunger (Polyphagia),

please hurry to the health care center or the nearest Diagnostic Center to check blood glucose levels and Your HbA1C.

Polydipsia:

Water is very important to regulate the body temperature and remove dirt. Drinking 4-5 liters of water per day is recommended by many people and do wonders for our prosperity in a sustainable way. It is very normal to feel thirsty several times during the day. Early symptoms and signs of diabetes - However, thirsty constantly throughout the day and even after drinking water is a serious warning sign. Abnormal thirst is often accompanied with brief or sustained drought called Xerostomia. Polydipsia is excessive thirst, the hallmark of Diabetes and ensure the assessment of the level of blood glucose.

One of the three classic triads of symptoms of Diabetes, Polydipsia, emerged gradually over time and is difficult to be identified at an early stage. It becomes visible only after other signs and symptoms of diabetes started vomiting.

Increased blood glucose levels are consistently improving blood osmolarity, making thicker or more concentrated.
When glucose levels pass the 200 mg/dl (the actual impact level may vary on each individual) normal kidney function starts. The kidneys are not able to absorb nearly all the water and glucose from the blood into the urine, as they do in normal conditions.

So it was a double whammy of concentrated blood (due to high blood sugar high osmolarity & produced) and dilute urine (inability to absorb water back from the urine)-make diabetics more and dehydration forced drinking compulsively. Please note that severe dehydration in people with diabetes, if unchecked, is a medical emergency.

Polyuria:

Polyuria frequent urination, often even in the middle of the night and is a warning sign of Diabetes. Waking up at night to urinate, often more than once, you never experienced before, are the alarm bells for emergency visits to the doctor. Early symptoms and signs of diabetes - Often discharge large amounts of urine volume, often more than 3 liters a day, compared with normal daily urine output of approximately 1-2 liters in adults, called Polyuria and is one of the main symptoms of diabetes type 1 and type 2. If unchecked, this can lead to severe dehydration and kidney function slips. Induction of urine and polydipsia induced by Glucose is the primary cause. Consumption of drinks mixed with alcohol or caffeine also contributes to excessive urination.

During the screening, the first step in the formation of urine, the large volume of water and small molecules to flow out of the plasma into the capsule of the archers (first part nefron) followed by the kidney tubules. This is a non-specific screening and to prevent the loss, all useful substances such as glucose, amino acids, and certain ions along with the water should be actively reabsorbed by the cells lining the kidney tubule.

In normal individuals, 100% glucose is absorbed again, by special transport proteins on the cells lining the kidney tubule. However, the high glucose levels in diabetics flooded tubular proteins outside their capacity that lead to resorption which is not complete and therefore excessive glucose in the urine. Because glucose is dissolved substance that draws water into the urine through osmosis, Hyperglycemia causes a high volume of urine containing glucose.

Polyphagia

Polyphagia is hunger and overeating. Although there is persistent hyperglycemia in diabetes, the cells bathed in glucose, the body's fuel, it is ironic that fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of Diabetes. There are several reasons for this phenomenon. Early symptoms and signs of diabetes - Excessive hunger regardless of how, or how much, you eat is one of the three Classic Triad of Diabetes. Abnormal hunger leads to uncontrollable appetite, resulting in a dramatic increase in appetite and is referred to as Polyphagia.

There is two main reason for Polyphagia in Diabetics:

The loss of glucose in the urine that creates artificial shortages and a desire for more glucose (food). Check the Polyuria for more details.
Body cells lack glucose.

Glucose cannot enter the cells of the blood due to lack of insulin (type 1 Diabetes) or insulin resistance (type 2 Diabetes). The body cannot convert glucose (a derivative of food) into energy. Starved of glucose on cellular level causes a lack of energy. The cell via Orexin/Hypocretin includes a hormone, Ghrelin, and Leptin-Glucose Deprived status conveys to the brain to stimulate the hypothalamus of the brain, to trigger the desire to eat more.

However, these form a vicious circle-

Eat more to feed more Glucose into the cells of hunger; but
Increased consumption point to a worsening hyperglycemia Insulin resistance and
The higher insulin resistance, the lower the amount of Glucose can enter the cells that are already of starvation.
Hunger hunger and hunger increases even more.

This vicious cycle explains why just eat to satisfy hunger will not help get rid of polyphagia. Early symptoms and signs of diabetes - Overcoming the high glucose levels (by switching to a diet low in carbohydrates) and insulin resistance (with a strict physical exercise) is the best way to uninstall polyphagia.
