JAKARTA, kilat.com- Diabetes is a dangerous disease that should be watched out for. Often attacks in adults to old age. But not infrequently in relatively young adults are also attacked. These are the signs and symptoms of diabetes in our bodies.
Increased frequency of urination
Since the cells in the body cannot absorb glucose, the kidneys try to excrete as much glucose as possible. As a result, sufferers urinate more often than normal people and excrete more than 5 liters of urine a day. This continues even at night. The patient wakes up several times to urinate. That’s a sign the kidneys are trying to get rid of all the extra glucose in the blood.
Excessive thirst
With the loss of water from the body due to frequent urination, sufferers feel thirsty and need lots of water. Excessive thirst means your body is trying to replenish the lost fluids. Frequent urination and excessive thirst are some of “your body’s way of trying to manage high blood sugar,” explains Dr. Collazo-Clavell as quoted from Health.com.

Weight loss
Blood sugar levels that are too high can also cause rapid weight loss. Because the hormone insulin doesn’t get glucose to cells, which it uses for energy, the body breaks down protein from muscles as an alternative source of fuel.
Starving
Excessive hunger, is another sign of diabetes. When blood sugar levels drop, the body thinks it hasn’t been fed and prefers the glucose that cells need.
Skin is so problematic

Itchy skin, possibly from dry skin, can often be a warning sign of diabetes, as can other skin conditions, such as darkening of the skin around the neck or armpits.
Healing is slow
Infections, cuts, and bruises that don’t heal quickly are another sign of diabetes. This usually occurs because the blood vessels are damaged by the excessive amount of glucose that surrounds the blood vessels and arteries. Diabetes reduces the efficiency of endothelial progenitor cells or EPCs, which travel to the site of injury and help blood vessels heal.
fungal infection
“Diabetes is considered a state of immunosuppression,” says Dr. Collazo-Clavell explained. That means an increased susceptibility to a variety of infections, although the most common are candida and other yeast infections. Fungi and bacteria thrive in sugar-rich environments.

Genital irritation
The high glucose content in the urine makes the genital area look like thrush and consequently causes swelling and itching.
Fatigue and irritability
“When people have high blood sugar levels, depending on how long they’ve had it, they often don’t feel well,” says Dr. Collazo-Clavell. Waking up to go to the bathroom several times at night makes one tired. As a result, when tired people tend to be easily offended.
Blurred vision

Blurred vision or occasional flashes of light are a direct result of high blood sugar levels. Leaving your blood sugar out of control for long periods of time can cause permanent damage, possibly even blindness. The blood vessels in the retina become weak after years of hyperglycemia and micro-aneurysms, which release fatty proteins called exudates.
Tingling or numbness
Tingling and numbness in the hands and feet, along with burning pain or swelling, are signs that nerves are being damaged by diabetes. Still like vision, if blood sugar levels are allowed to run rampant for too long, nerve damage can become permanent.
In diabetes, high blood sugar acts like a poison. Diabetes is often called the ‘Silent Killer’ if the symptoms are ignored and complications are found. If you have these symptoms, immediately test your blood sugar or consult a health worker. (cen)
