However, recognizing the signs of diabetes is essential for each person to promptly detect and treat as soon as possible. Below are some of the most recognizable signs of diabetes for you to quickly refer to and make the decision to see a doctor when necessary.

• Constant thirst :

Bạn khát nước và uống rất nhiều nước nhưng cảm giác khát vẫn dai dẳng. Tại sao? Đó là bởi khi lượng đường trong máu tăng lên, cơ thể sẽ tự động tách nước ra khỏi tế bào và bơm trực tiếp vào máu để làm loãng lượng đường dư thừa. Tế bào thiếu nước lúc này sẽ kích thích não bộ, gây ra cảm giác khát nước liên tục.

• Urinating many times a day
  

If the number of times you urinate per day is greater than 7, you may have diabetes. The reason is because the body wants to eliminate excess sugar, the kidneys have to work harder so you urinate more.

• Abnormal weight loss

Our body is like a machine – it needs fuel to function. And the main fuel for the body is sugar (glucose). Weight loss due to loss of glucose through urine. Diabetes causes the body to be unable to metabolize energy from food and is forced to get energy from fat and muscle. Insulin deficiency leads to reduced protein and fat synthesis, increased protein and fat digestion, inevitably leading to weight loss. In this case, remember to check your body immediately.

• Hungry and tired

When the body cannot absorb enough sugar in the blood to release energy due to lack of insulin, excess sugar will be stored in the blood and eliminated from the body. Therefore, the body's need to eat for more energy will increase to compensate for the lack of energy, leading to a constant feeling of hunger and fatigue.

• Vulnerable to infections and fungal infections

High blood sugar levels and the immune system (the body's self-defense mechanism) are inhibited, reducing the body's resistance, leading to susceptibility to infections and fungi. Therefore, people with diabetes often feel itchy on the body, especially in the genitals.

• Weak eyesight

High blood sugar will destroy the capillaries at the bottom of the eyes, leading to bleeding and edema, especially in the macula, which will reduce vision even if you did not have eye diseases before.

In addition, other symptoms such as slow wound healing or numb or tingling limbs can also be signs of diabetes. However, in some cases, even if your body shows no abnormalities, you may still have diabetes. Therefore, you should have regular health checks, combined with a balanced diet and reasonable exercise to prevent diabetes today.
