A: Type 1 diabetes typically presents with increased appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, weight loss, and feeling quite ill. Type 2 diabetes typically presents with vague or no symptoms at all. The manner in which diabetes is diagnosed is with blood testing. Physician visits vary widely in cost but for a new patient typically $100 or more. The blood glucose test also varies considerably from free at some physician’s offices to $100 or more for a complete panel of blood tests. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.

A: well you’ve got to see a doctor and have blood works asap

Q: What are some early warning signs of diabetes?

A: Urine will increase in volume and frequency when blood glucose rises. The kidneys work to filter blood and try to rid it of the excess sugar. In fact, one of the earliest methods for diagnosing diabetes was to notice the increased sugar content of urine. If it progresses, however, frequent urination will lead to excessive water loss and dehydration, seriously jeopardizing health.

Thirst is noticably increased with high blood glucose because of water losses in urine. In addition, excess sugar concentrates the blood.Both trigger thirst.

In addition, excess sugar concentrates the blood.Both trigger thirst.

Fatique and generalized weakness is noticable for two reasons. One, glucose is unable to be effectively used as a fuel by muscle cells. They are “fuel deprived” and thus less able to perform work. Secondly, dehydration will bring on fatique.

Weight loss may be slow or rapid, but it is usually occuring without explanation. Many people with early diabetes note they are actually eating more and still losing weight. This is the result of water losses, as well as increased breakdown of fat and protein tissues, as the body compensates for poor glucose utilization.

Hunger often increases because glucose, despite being high in the blood, is unavailable to cells as fuel.

Blurred vision may develop because rapidly rising blood sugar levels can cause fluid shifts in the lens of the eye.

Infections of gums, bladder, skin and vaginal yeast can become more problematic and harder to treat. Germs thrive in the high sugar content of blood and body fluids. A woman may have recurrent urinary or vaginal infections.

Another important symptom of noninsulindependent diabetes is recurring or slow-to-heal cuts and sores.

Irritability; drowsiness, tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, or itching.

Q: I have dark spots on my neck? Doctor says is signs of diabetes?
The doctor gave me a cream but doesn’t seem to work, if anybody has gone trough this or knows anything please let me know. I’m getting married in March so i would hate to have that on my neck. I’m desperate.

A: I suspect that you must have acanthosis nigricans, which occasionally may occur in diabetes. But, it’s not always a sign of it. Some times, a cream with either salicylic acid or urea in it will help. But so will scotch tape!!! Take some tape and place it on the dark areas, and then pull the tape off, and you’ll see that the skin will become lighter.

Q: What are the early warning signs of diabetes in men or women ?

A: You never have a dry mouth and are often thirsty can be an indicator but the best early warning sign that I had was I went to the doctor and he did a routine blood test that showed that my glucose was and had been on the high side for some time. They can tell if it has been high for up to the three previous months.

Q: what are signs diabetes. im only 15 but think i may have some symtoms..?

A: 2 years ago in december i was diagnosed with diabetes type 2. im only 17. i had to pee many times and my thirst could not be quinched. i had on of those humungus cups form the gas station and had to keep refilling it. if your thirsty drink water because your sugar my be high and drinking juice can make it go higher. go get a chech up. i had to go to the hospital when the clinic got my blood test back. every thing was so high i could have had a heart attack or gone into a diabetic coma. yeah its scary but im glade they found it and now i can treat it.

Q: Are these warning signs of diabetes?
Last week, I have noticed a few odd things…

I’m always thirsy, and constantly have to go to the bathroom. I am also always tired and I’ve lost five pounds in the past few days. My mom thinks it may be anemia, because she has it, too. Could this be possible? Are these early warning signs for diabetes?

A: These can most definitely be signs of diabetes, especially if blurry vision is thrown into the mix. However, your mom may also be right about anemia, because it presents with some of the same signs and symptoms. The only way to know for sure is to go see your doctor and have him do some blood work. In between times, it might be to your benefit to go get a glucose meter and check your sugars yourself, just to see where you stand. It can help your doctor determine what to do next. Hope this helps!

Q: What are the diabetes warning signs before being diagnosed by a Doctor?
I get thirsty, in the middle of the night I have to pee and drink more water. Pain in my abdomen right side. Not appendix. Removed long ago. Then pain continues on down right side down to above the pubic bone area. Very painful!

A: Type 1 Diabetes
•Frequent urination
•Unusual thirst

Type 2 Diabetes*
•Any of the type 1 symptoms
•Frequent infections
•Blurred vision
•Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
•Tingling/numbness in the hands/feet

But if its that painful I would go and see a doctor anyways!

Q: What are the signs of Diabetes?
My cousin has diabetes which got me thinking about certain symptoms I’ve been displaying over recent years. I have these moments when the complete left side of my body collapses in this sharp tingling pain as if something has just dropped on top of me. After a few moments it passes, but during all my muscles contract and tense. it really hurts. A friend mentioned something about diabetes, though my family has a really bad record with heart conditions as well. As it is my left side playing up, what do you think it could be? take into consideration that I’m only 18.

A: First Signs of Diabetes:
In most cases, early symptoms of diabetes are so minor that they go unnoticed or overlooked. Due to this reason, many people tend to suffer with some serious complications and find it extremely hard to lead a happy and healthy lifestyle. Some of these first signs of diabetes that appear during early stages of diabetes are listed below:

* Lifestyle changes characterized by noticeable alterations in the diet patterns such as excessive hunger and unquenchable thirst
* Unexplained weight loss even though one consumes excessive amounts of food
* Increased frequency in the occurrence of yeast or skin infections
* Frequent urination
* Behavioral changes such as fatigue, irritability and mood swings
* Finally, individuals with diabetes even suffer with eye problems like blurred vision.

I go for my test next week but i was wondering if there were any signs.

A: Loss of weight, thirsty, need to pee often, blurred vision, fatigue, flushed hands and face. You should go to a Dr. as soon as possible if you believe you have diabetes.

You can also go blind, increase your chances of strokes and heart attacks, and it decreases your blood circulation to the point of possible amputation of limbs.
