Author: Diabetes is classified in two types; type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an outcome of an autoimmune disorder which is normally because of a viral attack on pancreas. In type 2 diabetes the cells performs an abnormal role and become resistant towards insulin. The result is they are unable to break glucose for producing energy. In both cases the diabetes is caused because of an increased level of sugar in blood and less amount of sugar in the cells of the body where it is needed. It type 1 diabetes there is an inadequate amount of insulin because the cells responsible for producing insulin get destroyed.
Following is a detailed list of signs of diabetes.
Frequent Trips to Restroom
If a person is suffering from diabetes he may feel that he is visiting the rest room more often. This is because diabetes has increased the level of glucose in blood. The glucose in the blood is raised either because of lack of insulin or because of the cells’ abnormality to use the insulin efficiently. Whatever the reason is the increased blood glucose level causes the kidneys to fail to hold glucose in the body. It draws some excessive water from nearby cells to dilute concentrated glucose and excrete it out of the body.
More Thirst
Pulling extra water from body cells to dilute the concentration of glucose and excrete it in the form of urine, result in repeated demand of water. The person feels thirsty and if not drink enough water he may lead to dehydration.
Weight Loss
Another symptom of diabetes is his weight loss, specifically in type 1 diabetics. The level of insulin decreases and cells become incapable to break down the glucose efficiently. The cells then has to use the reserves of fats and muscle tissue to release the energy required for body functioning. The weight loss seems gradual in type 2 diabetics because the speed of the cell that get resistant towards insulin is comparatively slow.
Fatigue and Tiredness
When the cells become unable to break down glucose because of the incidence of diabetes, the body gets starved because of lack of energy. Diabetics become easily fatigued and repeatedly experience the tendency to vomit.
Numbness In Hands And Feet
Diabetics often suffer from tingling sensation or numbness in legs, fingers and hands. This tingling and numbness is termed diabetic neuropathy. Increased level of glucose in blood damages the cells of the nerves. Type 2 diabetics are unable to detect this feeling at the earlier stage. The process can be reversed by effectively controlling the level of blood sugar.
The signs of diabetes also include dry and itchy skin, frequent wound infection and blurred vision. The person who is experiencing any of the above symptoms must visit the doctor for his check up immediately.

Many diabetic patients exhibit no particular symptoms at all, other than a feeling of being unwell. Most diabetic patients however feel the need to urinate frequently accompanied by excessive thirst. Despite the intake of large meals at frequent intervals, there is continual loss of weight. When the glucose fails to enter the body cells the body starves for energy.

Diabetes sufferers may show symptoms that include fatigue or being constantly tired due to the body’s inability to convert food to energy, which is what fuels the body to be active.
Since this illness makes the body unable to process the food that is being eaten, a person loses weight.
A diabetic person suffers from frequent urination, feeling thirsty all the time.
