Unconsciously diagnosed with diabetes? You need to know these early symptoms!

Diabetes is a relatively common disease. There are still many diabetic patients in our daily life, and this disease is closely related to life. If your appetite increases for no reason, you urinate frequently, and your weight suddenly drops, it is very likely a precursor to diabetes. Therefore, we need to strictly control our diet in daily life. Good eating habits are the basis for avoiding diabetes. For diabetic patients, there are still many things to pay attention to in daily life. So what are the symptoms that need early attention?
1. Early symptoms of diabetes

First, the skin will itch and dry. However, the itching and dryness of the skin in the early stage of diabetes is different from the dry skin in autumn and winter. This dryness cannot be relieved even after applying some moisturizing products. So when people encounter this phenomenon, they need to consider whether it is affected by blood sugar. The itching parts are mostly concentrated on the calves and hands, and women often experience vulvar itching.

The second is the change in vision. The increase in blood sugar in the body will cause certain changes in the fluid in the body, which will lead to unstable vision. Most of the changes in vision are manifested as dark shadows or decreased vision in front of the eyes, but there are also a small number of patients who will show a sudden improvement in vision. In daily life, many people think that this is the arrival of presbyopia or cataracts in the elderly, but in fact, this change in vision may also be caused by retinal lesions caused by high blood sugar.
The third point is the phenomenon that the wound cannot heal for a long time, which is also one of the more typical symptoms of diabetic patients. Because many diabetic patients have peripheral vascular disease, the blood supply of the tissue around the wound is affected to a certain extent. And because diabetic patients generally have poor immunity, and high blood sugar promotes the growth of pathogenic bacteria, urinary tract infections, vaginal inflammation and skin infections often occur, and they are difficult to heal for a long time.

The fourth point is the phenomenon of sleep disorders, because a large proportion of today's diabetic patients will have moderate or mild sleep breathing disorders, and many will show short-term sleep apnea. Therefore, some people who feel particularly tired during the day and snore too loudly at night need to test their blood sugar.
The fifth point is hunger before meals. Some patients in the early stages of diabetes often experience hypoglycemia or unbearable hunger before meals. This is mainly due to delayed insulin secretion, and it is out of sync with blood sugar. Therefore, although blood sugar reaches a peak after a meal, insulin has not been secreted in time. The next peak of insulin secretion happens to occur before the next meal, which will cause patients to experience hunger and hypoglycemia.

The sixth point is the phenomenon of polyuria. Because the increase in blood sugar will cause the glucose filtered out of the glomerulus to be unable to be reabsorbed by the renal tubules, an osmotic diuresis will be formed. Moreover, with the increase in blood sugar, the sugar content in the urine will increase, which will also cause an increase in urine volume. Often 5,000 to 10,000 milliliters of urine will be excreted within 24 hours. However, some elderly diabetic patients have kidney diseases, and the increase in renal glucose threshold will cause urinary sugar excretion to be impaired, so the phenomenon of polyuria is not particularly obvious.
The seventh point is the phenomenon of drinking more water. Because of high blood sugar, the plasma osmotic pressure will increase, and the polyuria will lead to water loss, and cellular dehydration will occur. This phenomenon will aggravate high blood sugar, thereby further increasing the plasma osmotic pressure and stimulating the thirst center, so it will cause thirst and drink more water. Drinking too much water will also lead to polyuria.
The eighth point is the phenomenon of difficulty in urination. Among elderly men with diabetes, about 21% to 42% have difficulty in urination. This shows that diabetes will affect smooth urination. Therefore, when some middle-aged and elderly people have difficulty urinating, they need to pay attention to whether it is an early symptom of diabetes.
The ninth point is weight loss. Although many diabetic patients have a normal appetite or even an increased appetite, they still lose weight. The main reason is the absolute or relative lack of insulin or insulin resistance. The body cannot smoothly produce energy through glucose, which leads to increased secretion of protein and fat, and the consumption becomes larger, which leads to a gradual loss of weight and even emaciation. After reasonable treatment, this phenomenon will be alleviated to a certain extent, and weight loss will be under certain control. Therefore, if diabetic patients experience obvious weight loss or continuous weight loss during treatment, it is most likely caused by poor metabolic control or some other chronic wasting diseases.
The tenth point is the phenomenon of increased food intake. Although the mechanism of overeating is not particularly clear today, most of the reasons are attributed to the low utilization rate of glucose. In a normal person's fasting state, the concentration difference of glucose in arterial and venous blood will be reduced to a certain extent, which will stimulate the feeding center and produce a feeling of hunger. After eating, the concentration difference in arterial and venous blood will increase, the feeding center will be inhibited, and the relative fullness center will be excited. However, because of the absolute or relative lack of insulin in diabetic patients or because the tissue is not sensitive enough to insulin, the ability of the tissue to absorb glucose is reduced.
2. High-risk groups for diabetes

The first point is that there is a diabetic patient among the direct relatives. When one of the parents or siblings is diabetic, the risk of the disease is three times that of normal people. If both parents are diabetic, the risk of the disease will increase to six times.

The second point is that patients who are obese, overweight, or have too much fat on their waists often have insensitive insulin receptors and the weight on the pancreas is increased. And if you are not overweight but your limbs are loose and you look fat, you also need to pay attention and prevent it in time.
The third point is inappropriate eating habits, which include eating more staple foods than vegetables, not eating whole grains, only taking rice and steamed buns as staple foods, using more oil and salt in the cooking process, liking sweets and some beverages, not liking to eat vegetables and fruits, etc. These bad eating habits may cause the onset of diabetes.

The fourth point is that you are prone to fatigue after a meal. Although most people feel tired after eating, it is generally not very serious. However, if the feeling of fatigue after eating is particularly severe, you need to pay special attention. And for some people who feel hungry without eating in time, they also need to test their blood sugar in time.

Therefore, in daily life, we must learn more about diabetes, and ensure scientific and correct eating habits and living habits, so as to effectively prevent diabetes.
