Early Symptoms of diabetes

If you experience the early symptoms of diabetes it means it is too late for its prevention. Proper control means reversal of the syndrome, and is possible even in later stages of this disturbing disease.

Early symptoms of diabetes are unmistakable. If you watch, you can easily notice these symptoms.


There are a number of early symptoms of diabetes. They are listed below:

Extreme Thirst and Extreme Hunger: Extreme thirst and/or extreme hunger are very common early symptoms of diabetes. If you keep feeling hungry in spite of eating your hearts content or if you feel thirsty even after drinking a lot of water, then it is an early sign of diabetes. It has been observed that some diabetic patients have sugar cravings, especially when they were first diagnosed with diabetes.

Weight Loss: If you have noticed that in the recent times you have been eating the same amount of food or may be even more and still losing weight and have made no changes to your lifestyle, then you should immediately consult with a physician. This can be one of the diabetes symptoms.

Frequent Urination: Like feeling thirsty often, if you feel like urinating often, then this is another good reason to see a doctor. It can be a symptom of urinary tract infection as well, but diabetes can also be the cause.

Blurry Vision: If you are experiencing blurry vision in recent times, remember this is a common problem of symptoms of early diabetes. An eye problem is one of the common symptoms of early diabetes. At the same time eye problems increase as diabetes progresses.

Fatigue: Diabetes causes fatigue. The reason is due to lack of insulin, glucose does not move into the cells. This causes the cells to be energy starved.

Tingling Sensation: Tingling sensation in your hands, feet or legs is referred to as neuropathy. This happens when the blood sugar level has been consistently high, which causes nerve damage. Very often this early symptom of diabetes is neglected and is discovered after a couple of years.

Poor Healing of Wounds: Insulin is required for protecting the body from viruses, bacteria or any foreign substance. In short lack of insulin disturbs the body’s immune system. Therefore, if there is a wound, it does not heal or it takes very long to heal.
