Pinpointing Primary Diabetes Syndromes

By Stepanie Almarza


Diabetes symptoms often are the same symptoms that are apparent in other disorders. The only symptoms that are unique to diabetes are not readily apparent without extensive medical testing. Of course, this does not mean you should quit keeping an eye on signs of the disease. Diabetes can begin to show symptoms of itself in a variety of ways. This article will explain some of the chief indicators of this sickness.

The most discernible symptom of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is that the body halts production of insulin the way it typically does so. Still, this is not as apparent as, say, the symptoms from the common flu. Usually, this is only observed when you visit your physician for another matter. When a blood or organ test is done, the lower levels of insulin can be observed. Type 1 most often is diagnosed when a person is quite young and is generally noticed, due to the physician trying to diagnose a flu bug or something similar.

A bigger sign of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes is that the body stops producing potassium in an accurate manner. When the potassium levels in your body become chaotic, this can make a few different types of physical indicators happen, such as dehydration, a messed up state of mind and for some a coma can take place, if the matter is not caught early enough. This irregular production of potassium is generally misdiagnosed in the beginning, which is why, if you are not feeling right you should demand that your medical professional be as meticulous as possible in diagnosing you. You don't want the doctor to send you off with a prescription for antibiotics when the actual problem is diabetes!

Do you have a hard time concentrating? Do you pass out for now apparent reason? These may signify diabetes. Diabetes affects the body's ability to regulate insulin and blood sugar levels. Before you get diagnosed, it is not uncommon for your sugar levels to fluctuate wildly which can cause fainting spells or light headedness. If you find your energy level is drained in conjunction with fainting spells it's time to see the doctor. You may have lower than normal blood glucose. Some may find out they require insulin to regulate their blood. Your doctor will help you figure out what is going on.

There are a variety of indicators for diabetes, however they can be harsh. The most obvious symptoms (the lack of insulin production) are hard to detect without extensive medical testing. Different indicators are quite visible. At the same time, there are many distinguishable indicators of diabetes that are also apparent signs of other problems and disorders. It is essential for you to be aware of your body (and the bodies of your loved ones). You don't want your illness to be diagnosed improperly. Get a second opinion if you are worried your own physician may have misdiagnosed your or your kids.
