Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects your whole body. The number of diabetes patients in India is increasing rapidly. The main reason for this is the disturbance in the food and bad lifestyle. About 5 per cent of India's population is suffering from diabetes. If the sugar level in the body suddenly goes out of control then many other problems arise including heart and kidney disease. If this disease is identified in time, then its bad consequences can be avoided. The stage before diabetes is called pre-diabetes. In pre-diabetes, the patient's body gives some such signals which can be detected by seeing that you may be a victim of diabetes. Today, in this episode, we are going to give you information about these signs, on seeing which you should seek medical advice. Let's know about these signs...
Frequent urination
Due to diabetes, the kidneys have to work harder to remove extra sugar from your blood. When the sugar is high, the kidneys remove it from the blood, which causes frequent urination. Going to the bathroom more often than usual, especially at night, is a sign of high blood sugar.
Frequent infections
Excess sugar in your urine serves as food for yeast and bacteria. A warm, moist area with plenty of food helps them thrive. In such a situation, women who have diabetes often experience urine infections.
Blisters can come on the feet
Generally, leg ulcers are characterized by a crack or deep wound in the skin. A diabetic foot ulcer is an open wound that occurs in about 15 per cent of diabetic patients. It is mainly found on the sole.
Feeling tired
If you feel tired even after getting complete sleep, then this can also be a matter of concern. Carbohydrates are not able to break properly in the body of people suffering from diabetes. Because of this, the body does not get the energy it gets from food completely. Due to a lack of energy, there is a feeling of tiredness in the body. If you also feel more tired then it would be better to get yourself examined.
