Diabetes is a common disease among modern people. If the disease is detected early and treated as soon as possible, most patients can be better controlled. The 10 signs introduced below cannot be ignored and everyone must pay attention to them.

1. Unexplained sudden weight loss: Maybe weight loss sounds like what everyone wants, but if there is no special reason in a short period of time and you suddenly lose more than 4.5 kilograms of weight, It may be a warning signal sent by the body.

2. Blurred vision: A common symptom of diabetes is blurred vision or floaters. Blurred vision is a refraction problem. When blood sugar is high, it changes the lens and eyes. Blurred vision is actually an early warning sign of type 2 diabetes. Don’t automatically ignore it if you find that your vision is distorted and weird, thinking that everything is fine. Especially when this symptom appears and is accompanied by other signs, it’s really time to see a doctor!

3. Increasingly obvious hunger: Unexplained and increasing appetite is another strange but common symptom of diabetes. Insulin works less well in muscle, fat, and other tissues, so your pancreas releases more insulin. Such high insulin levels stimulate the mind and make you feel hungry.

Of course, hunger in and of itself is not a cause for concern, but a progressive feeling of hunger coupled with continued weight loss can be a warning sign.

4. Sores or wounds are difficult to heal: When your body is fighting diabetes, sores or wounds will take longer to heal. High blood sugar can affect blood flow, cause nerve damage, and make it harder for wounds in the body to heal.

5. Fatigue: If your body does not secrete enough insulin or even cannot secrete insulin at all, your body will have no energy and you will feel more tired than before.

6. Pain or numbness in the feet: This may just be poor blood circulation, but in severe cases, it may also be a sign of diabetes. Foot pain or numbness will start in the feet, and then the feeling will spread upwards. The numbness may be the feeling experienced by nerve damage caused by diabetes.

7. Frequent urination: If 4 months ago, you would occasionally get up to pee in the middle of the night, but now you have to get up 3 times a night, that is a warning sign! Since diabetes causes blood sugar to rise, the body will want to produce more urine to excrete the sugar, and will need to go to the toilet more frequently than the average person.

8. Feeling thirsty often: With symptoms of frequent urination, you will become increasingly thirsty. You will go to the toilet more often and pee more. As a result, you will also become very thirsty, drink more, and pee more.

9. Itchy skin: In addition to dry and itchy skin, darkening of the skin on the neck or armpits may also be a sign of diabetes. Abnormal blood sugar index and dehydration caused by frequent urination can make the skin dry and itchy.

10. Candida infection: Candida infection that we usually know is only found in girls. As long as they have diabetes, boys and girls are likely to develop such infections. Candida thrives on glucose, so if there's a lot of it, it can overgrow and cause an infection on warm, moist skin. Although Candida infections most commonly appear in the genitals, they can also appear under the breasts or between the fingers and toes.
