Diabetes is quite serious, yet a very common medical condition. However, identifying the early signs of diabetes could increase the chance of early diagnosis and careful management. But, the question is how can you tell if you have diabetes? This is Now You Know, and watch out the top 4 signs and symptoms you might actually have diabetes.
4. You have to pee every time
Frequent urination, particularly at night can be an early sign of diabetes. When blood sugar levels are too high in your body, your kidneys try to flush out the excess sugar by making more urine.
3. You feel thirsty more than usual
Since the body is using all the fluids to make urine, people with diabetes often have a dry mouth and feel thirsty all the time. Over time this can lead to dehydration because when you drink more water you also pee more.
2. You experience blurred vision
Yes, you heard it right! Blurred vision is not always the sign of weak eyesight. It may be a sign of diabetes because changing fluids levels in the body could cause swollen eye lenses, which prevent them to focus correctly.
1. You experience unplanned weight loss
When your body doesn't get energy from the food you eat, it starts to burn out the fat and muscle for energy instead. So, if you have diabetes you might lose weight, even if you haven't changed your diet.
If you are experiencing any of these signs, you should see a doctor and know the actual cause.
