(Newswire.net — October 24, 2018) — According to the World Health Organization, roughly 29 million people in the U.S. are diagnosed with each year and while that’s a drop in the bucket compared to the 7.6 billion inhabitants on Earth, the condition is a serious problem putting a steady dent on the annual mortality rate. So doctors are focused on preventing diabetes until a cure can be found. As such, it’s important to know and note the warning signs of diabetes and nip the issue in the bud as best possible.
“Diabetes is a number of diseases that involve problems with the hormone insulin,” explains WebMD.com. “Normally, the pancreas (an organ behind the stomach) releases insulin to help your body store and use the sugar and fat from the food you eat. Diabetes can occur when the pancreas produces very little or no insulin, or when the body does not respond appropriately to insulin.”
Unexplainable fatigue and hunger even when you’re eating right, sleeping right and doing both at the right time are some things to be perceptive about. If all those bases for covered regarding proper eating and sleeping habits yet you’re still experiencing drastically reduced energy levels and efficiency then it could be diabetes knocking at your door.
Dehydration due excessive urinating, even when 8 glasses of water or more, is yet another telltale signs to be on the alert for since the kidneys may be overworked. The kidneys are responsible for ridding the blood of urine but things get out of whack when dealing with abnormally high levels of glucose. Up the volumes of water you consume to compensate for this issue and allow your body to flush its system as needed.
Now if the issue of dehydration in connection to diabetes isn’t reined in then a whole host of other problems can emerge. Dryness of the mouth and skin are the most probable spin-off things to be concerned about since so much water will be lost via excessive urination that doesn’t leave the body with much left for moisturizing anything. So it’s clearly in one’s best interest to learn of any new health developments, especially if it’s diabetes.
“With type 1 diabetes the body does not produce insulin so patients will need to take insulin injections for the rest of their life,” explains Medical News Today. “They must also ensure proper blood-glucose levels by carrying out regular blood tests and following a special diet. Meanwhile type 2 diabetes is when the body does not produce enough insulin for proper function, or the cells in the body do not react to insulin, approximately 90% of all cases of diabetes worldwide are type 2.”
