Signs that warn you of possible diabetes

Since high blood sugar levels can be the prelude to diabetes, we must pay close attention to remedy it before it becomes a chronic condition Did you know that diabetes is a "silent killer" that can attack us without us noticing ?

That's right, because their signals can be confused with other health problems or temporary conditions.

Therefore, in the following article we want to tell you what are the symptoms that alert high levels of blood sugar , so that you pay attention and detect the pathology in time.

Be careful with hyperglycemia

The increase in blood sugar can be caused by different changes in our body. They are mostly due to an alteration when metabolizing carbohydrates .

All cells need glucose for energy. So that all receive their "ration" certain processes are carried out; However, when, for some reason, this system fails, they require more food to carry out their activities.

When this happens there are no obvious signs or that the person can consider as negative . Over time these symptoms may increase.

It is at that time when the consultation with the doctor is made and the professional is in charge of indicating the appropriate treatment if he suffers from diabetes.

-Main signs indicating high levels of blood sugar
When glucose increases the immune system weakens.

As a result, the body is more vulnerable to all types of infections and injuries in both the skin and mucous membranes. In addition, small blood vessels are lost.

That is why it is fundamental to pay attention to the indications that the body gives us .

If you have high blood sugar levels, perhaps the body is notifying you in the following way:

-Excessive appetite
We must first know how to differentiate physiological hunger from emotional appetite . The latter is characterized by a lack of rationality when choosing food or quantities.

However, in the case of the desire to eat "true" the stomach emits certain sounds, our head hurts and no matter what we eat: any meal is worth it.

When there is a high sugar content in the organism, it saturates the capacity of the cells to consume them.
The body understands this as a lack of nutrients and "asks" the brain to give the signals necessary for us to be hungry.
Thus, we will have more glucose and, therefore, energy so that everything can work as it should.
-Slow healing

If we cut ourselves while cooking, had a surgical operation or had an accident one of the ways to detect too much glucose in the blood is that the wounds take a long time to heal or heal.

This happens because the arteries and veins are covered with so much sugar and can not irrigate blood to the area that needs natural healing.

-Problems in the skin
One of the main signs of diabetes is dry skin and itching. In some cases, dark spots appear around the neck and in the armpits.

-Infections caused by fungi
Because diabetes weakens the immune system, the body does not have the ability to protect itself from the attacks of certain microorganisms harmful to health.

For this reason are frequent infections caused by fungi (especially Candida ) and bacteria. An environment full of sugar is the perfect environment for them to reproduce and develop quickly.

In the case of women, a good way to determine if they have infections, such as candiadisis, is to analyze vaginal discharge.

-Thinning

Losing weight without dieting or exercising is not healthy and is a sign that we can not ignore.

If you have been losing weight for no apparent reason and in a considerable amount (more than 3 kg per month) it may be due to high blood sugar levels.

When cells do not receive glucose as an energy source they look for that "fuel" elsewhere. Where? In the proteins of the muscles.

On the other hand the kidneys must work more to be able to eliminate excess sugar and in this process we also lose calories (besides causing failures at the kidney level).

-Excessive thirst
We already know that drinking water is fundamental for our body and that, in certain circumstances (for example, when it is hot or we exercise), the body "asks" us for more fluid.

However, we should pay attention if we thirst all the time even if we drink a lot of water.

It is the signal of the organism to indicate that it needs to replenish liquids because those that we offered used them to nourish the cells full of sugar.

-You want to urinate constantly
Added to the fact that the body needs more and more water this translates into a greater need to go to the bathroom more often.

If you did not wake up at dawn to urinate but now it does happen, or if you have to stop doing your activities because you can not hold a full bladder for a minute, then maybe you should consult a doctor.

-Excessive fatigue

It does not matter how much you sleep or rest: you are always sleepy or feel weak.

People whose blood sugar levels are high often experience a lot of fatigue and reluctance. As they wake up at night to urinate, it is likely that the body does not recover enough from the day's efforts.

Other symptoms that alert high blood sugar levels are:

*Blurry vision
*Irritability
*Tingling in the extremities
*Leg cramps
*Nausea and vomiting
