Constant hunger
If you've always been pretty thin but suddenly you're suddenly gaining weight alarmingly, this can be a sign of diabetes. When our body thinks that it lacks insulin to use energy, it produces more, leading to intense hunger. If you end up with this hunger, a vicious cycle of weight gain sets in. If you notice rapid weight gain for no apparent reason, see a doctor.
Sudden weight loss
Conversely, rapid weight loss may also indicate a problem. Excessive repeated insulin production may eventually cause pancreatic failure, leading to misuse of glucose. The body then uses stored fats and proteins as a source of energy, causing significant weight loss. If you lose weight quickly for no apparent reason, it is best to see a doctor.
Fatigue and body weakness
Most people with diabetes frequently experience fatigue and physical weakness. When insulin does not play a proper role, the body cannot use energy efficiently, resulting in reduced body energy. If you feel constantly tired despite sufficient sleep, diabetes could be the cause.
Frequent and excessive thirst for burial
Excessive thirst is a common symptom of diabetes caused by a disruption of blood glucose regulation. When sugar is high, the body produces more urine to remove this excess, resulting in persistent thirst and a frequent need for urination.
Abnormal feeling in the hands and feet
High blood glucose levels over a long period of time can cause peripheral neuropathy, causing a tingling or numb sensation in the hands and feet. It is important not to ignore these symptoms and to consult a healthcare professional for an appropriate assessment.
