The symptoms of diabetes can be subtle, at least at the beginning of the disease, when many people discover that they have this condition during a routine checkup or following routine laboratory tests.
But the most common symptom of diabetes is frequent urination (polyuria), especially at night (nocturia). This symptom can be distressing in itself, in that it disturbs sleep and can have a negative impact on quality of life.
The doctors’ explanation is that the high level of sugar in the blood forces the body to eliminate excess glucose in the urine through the kidneys, thus increasing the volume of urine excreted as a whole. In most people, the bladder is able to store urine, usually four to eight times a day.
Other symptoms include constant thirst, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, difficult wound healing, and excessive bleeding or irritation and itching in the genital area. In the case of a person with type 2 diabetes, pain or numbness in the legs may also occur.
According to the definition, polyuria (or frequent urination) is a clinical symptom characterized by the elimination of urine in a larger than normal amount – (more than 3 liters per day), compared to the daily amount of urine that is considered normal in adults (between 1 and 2 liters).
Polyuria, one of the main symptoms of diabetes (both type 1 and type 2 diabetes) can lead to forms of severe dehydration, which, if left untreated, can affect kidney function, according to doc.ro.
