Type 1 diabetes is also referred to as juvenile onset diabetes. This type of diabetes generally targets younger people. Type 2 Diabetes is called Adult Onset diabetes and is often very symptomatic. Type 2 can even be predicted in some cases based on lifestyle choices and environmental factors. But it is still wise to watch for some of the major symptoms of this disease. This is a good precautionary measure to take because sometimes diabetes takes hold without anybody realizing it. The following article will explain some of the major symptoms of diabetes.

One of the most obvious signs of diabetes is fatigue. Yes, fatigue is a sign of a bunch of different issues.

At times, it can be an indicator of a major sickness. Other times it simply means that you need to get more sleep at night. Although, when it is being caused by diabetes, the fatigue is enormous. Someone having to battle this kind of sleepiness probably gets more than enough sleep at night and, even if they’re not overly active, will often feel completely drained. This is the type of sleepiness that is often thought of when mononucleosis is brought up and can be just as limiting. Beware of your energy levels. If you don’t see any reason why you’re feeling so dang tired, consult your medical professional and see if they’ll do some testing.

Excessive thirst is one of the diabetes indicators that are well known. Thanks to books where popular characters share about their diabetes diagnosis, many people equate excessive thirst with diabetes. Every person gets thirst. Excessive thirst is when, even if you are drinking far beyond the daily recommended amount of water (64 ounces) you still feel like you might be “dying” of thirst. Nothing can make this thirst go away. If you endure thirst like this, you should contact your medical professional. It could be dehydration. Chances are that is it something that is messing with your potassium level (which is one of the most noticeable symptoms of diabetes, also.

Feet problems are a common problem for most diabetics. Poor circulation is usually the reason for these problems. If you notice tingling in your hands and/or feet, contact your doctor. Watching over their hands and feet is important for diabetics due to their poor circulation. Your doctor should be informed of any sores on your feet that aren’t healing as soon as possible. In most cases, you can be treated for this problem right in the doctor’s office. But it is important not to let sores and tingling go unchecked. If you ignore these symptoms you raise the odds of needing an amputation. Diabetes can present different symptoms from person to person. Because of the different types of diabetes, it will affect everyone differently. Because there aren’t always symptoms, sometimes the only reason it gets caught is the individual was being tested for something else. Even when you display all the symptoms, it is still possible to be misdiagnosed before doctors find the real cause. It is important to have a clear discussion with your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
