Q: what are the symptoms of diabetes?
i think i have some symptoms of diabetes like frequent urination and burning of the feet and tiredness but not sure if diabetes is what it is or just other things in my life that causes these symptoms diabetes runs in my family both of my grandparents on my mothers side of the family had it and my uncle! I am having blood work done soon just want other peoples opinion!
I did not start getting the foot problem and frequent urination until about 6 months ago and not at the same time ! I also figured the tiredness was just from working third shift! But I decided to have the blood chem. test done anyway

A: My bet is that not only have you got diabetes, but that you have had it long enough now, uncontrolled, to have already done some serious damage to your body organs. Sadly you are one of millions of people who could have discovered very early on that they had diabetes, received treatment, stabilized the condition, and got it completely under control before it had a chance to do its damage. All it would have taken was a very simple blood test. You in particular, should have got the “message”, knowing that you had a significant family history of this very controllable condition, but also a disease that is very destructive when it is ignored.

Q: Why do diabetes symptoms include a lot of thirst for water?
Can some one explain to me why this happens please? I want to know what goes on inside the body.

A: Water and Diabetes
Have you ever been dying of thirst and a coworker or friend said, “You know, you may have diabetes?” Sounds like a stretch, but in reality, thirst can be a signal of this disease that is taking America by storm.

So why is thirst linked to diabetes? According to a 1995 CNN.com article, with diabetes, excess blood sugar, or glucose, in your body draws water from your tissues, making you feel dehydrated. To quench your thirst, you drink a lot of water and other beverages and that leads to more frequent urination. If you notice unexplained increases in your thirst and urination, see your doctor. It may not necessarily mean you have diabetes. It could be something else.

Q: What are the most common symptoms of diabetes?
I don’t know if i have diabetes or not, as I have some of the symptoms, like urinating often and thirst. however, I don’t know exactly to what extent these symptoms apply, as I can find quantified data nowhere. What exactly is “extreme thirst”. How many times going to the bathroom is “urinating often.” Is “sudden weight loss always a symptom”. Thanks for the help.

A: ^Thirst and frequent urination, can vary from person to person if you are drinking much more than usual and urinating more than usual for you that can be a sign.

The best thing to do is go to your doctor and have an A1C test, this is a blood test that will give you, your glucose (sugar) levels for the last 3 months. Ask your doctor to run kidney, liver function and a CBC test also, these are all blood tests as well.

Please go to the site below, they have a link for a test you can take on line, just answer the questions and they will evaluate to see if you have a risk factor. Good luck, I hope this helps.

Q: do you only get diabetes symptoms when your glucose is high?
im pretty sure i have diabtes, becus of the dry mouth n frequent urination, but i wanted to know if those symptoms rise as your glucose rises, and if my glucose becomes normal, will the dry mouth stop?. thank you
whats uti?

A: The longer your blood sugar stays high, normally the more symptoms you will have. However, there are people that have diabetes, and never had any symptoms at all. They discovered it from routine checks ups. Yes, if you control your diabetes, the symptoms will subside, except for things like neurophathy, which, may become less noticeable, but still be felt in most cases.
If you even suspect that you may have diabetes, please get checked ASAP

Q: Can symptoms of Diabetes Insipidus disappear and then return?
My 20 month old had the typical symptoms of diabetes insipidus from birth (frequent urination and extreme thirst). Then at 5 months old they went away and were replaced with constipation which continued until she was 11 months old. Then again she was putting out high volumes of pale urine and drinking more water than I have ever seen a child drink. Now at 20 months she is back to being constipated and not drinking or urinating heavily. Doctors want to do a MRI but do not want to undergo such an evasive procedure if there is no diagnosis.

A: As a father of a large family I would be doing what the doctor says and fast. An MRI is the least invasive proceedure for internal examination. It’s magnetic imaging not xray.I went with a grandaughtwer while she had it done for a faulty stomach valve which needed major surger eventually. It was nothing at all to be concerned about.
They may well be examing for a twist in the bowel and that needs finding.

Q: What are some embarrassing symptoms of diabetes?
I have read on other posts that you get some embarrassing symptoms when you have diabetes…What are some of these symptoms? I was recently diagnosed and I want to know what to expect or if I am already experiencing some of these…thanks

A: I was type 1 diabetic for years, and can’t think of anything embarrassing about it. Some people might not feel comfortable testing their blood sugar in public – it never bothered me, and you don’t have to do it in public anyway. I just can’t imagine what someone finds embarrassing about it.

Perhaps some people get embarrassed because they get sweaty and shaky when their blood sugar drops? I don’t know why anyone thinks that is embarrassing either.

I have a few problems with George D’s answer. First, I know people who are meticulous with their diabetes and still have complications. Type 1 diabetes in particular can be very difficult to control There is simply no way that insulin shots or the pump, can perfectly imitate what a normal human pancreas can do. No one’s going to be able to predict exactly how much insulin they need; it’s extremely difficult to measure every micro-ounce of food you eat; it’s impossible to eat at the exact same time every day, or figure out exactly how exercise will affect your blood sugar level. No one, ever, has complete control over their diabetes, and frankly I resent the fact that some people think you can.

So I think it’s very inappropriate to ever say that a complication like blindness, amputation, kidney failure, etc, is embarrassing.

I had a kidney/pancreas transplant in 2005, which is not a cure, but I am no longer taking any insulin and all my blood sugars are normal.

Q: What are the most common symptoms for Diabetes?
My biological father has type 1 diabetes. I have been tested for it before but not recently. I eat like a pig and I can’t gain any weight. I’m 25 years old and about 5′5″ at 107 lbs. I have a lot of iron deficiency symptoms though too. LOW blood pressure, dizziness when standing, very poor circulation (cold, red hands and feet), etc. Is it likely to get this type of diabetes at my age or am I past that point?

A: You can get at any age.

Diabetes Type 1: Symtoms of type 2

In type 1, the pancreas stop producing insulin, due to autuimmune response or possibly viral attack on pancreas. In absence of insulin, body cells does not get glucose for producing ATP (Adenosin Triphosphate) units which results into primary symptom in the form of nausea and vomiting. In latter stage which leads to ketoacidosis in which body starts breaking down muscle tissue and fat for energy, there is consequently fast weight loss. Dehydration is also usually observed due to electrolyte disturbance. In advance stages even coma and death, are being witnessed.

Diabetes Type 2:

* Increased fatigue : Due to inefficiency of cell to metabolise glucose, reserve fat of body is metabolised to gain energy. When fat is broken down in the body, it uses more energy as compared to glucose, hence body goes in negative calorie effect, which results in fatigue.
* Polydipsia : As the concentration of glucose increases in the blood, brain receives signal for diluting it and in its counteraction we feel thirsty.
* Polyuria: Increase in urine production is the result seen when excess of glucose is present in body. Body tries to get rid of the extra sugar in the blood by excreting it through the urine. This can also lead to dehydration because excreting the sugar which carries a large amount of water out of the body along with it.
* Polyphegia : The hormone insulin is also responsible for stimulating hunger. In order to cope up with high sugar levels in blood, body produces insulin which leads to increased hunger.
* Weight flactuation : Factors like loss of water (polyuria), glucosuria , metabolism of body fat and protein may lead to loss of weight. Few cases may show weight gain due to increased appetite.
* Blurry vision : Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is pulled out of tissues including lenses of eye, which affects the ability of lenses to focus resulting in blurry vision.
* Irritability : It is one of the sign of high blood sugar because of the inefficient supply of glucose to brain and other body organs, which makes us feel tired and uneasy.
* Infections : Certain signals from the body is given whenever there is fluctuation of blood sugar (due to suppression of immune system) by frequent infections of fungal or bacterial like skin infection or UTI (urinary tract infection).
* Poor wound healing : High blood sugar resists the flourishing of WBC, (white blood cell) which are responsible for body immune system. When these cells do not function accordingly, wound healing is not at good pace. Secondly, long standing diabetes leads to thickening of blood vessels which may affect proper circulation of blood in different body parts.

Good luck

Q: What are the symptoms of diabetes on a dog ?
I have a 3 year old chihuahua she loves i cream so i’m worry that she may have diabetes, She’s getting spay next month thas way i’m concern. Thank you

A: Symptoms of diabetes include excessive drinking and urinating (not dissimilar to signs of kidney trouble). Also occasional bouts of lethargy as blood sugar levels go up and down. You can get your vet to do a fairly inexpensive blood test to check for this when she’s spayed.

My guess however is that your dog is not diabetic – I mean, who doesn’t love cream! I’d limit the cream intake if I were you, it’s more likely to cause diarrhoea, and 95% likely to cause obesity!

Q: What are some signs and symptoms of diabetes for a 13 year old?
My friend thinks she might have diabetes so I want to know some symptoms

A: if you are have reason to believe she has diabetes other people will actually notice more than she will. you should follow her around (not completely stalk her) and look for any of these:
-extreme thirst
-lack of apatite
-one moment extremely hyper next moment very calm, sickish(and reverse order)
-test scores and grades will significantly drop (you will have a hard time taking in information when your blood sugar is out of range, your brain will dismiss it for some reason but you THINK you are taking it in then you take a test on it and fail it horribly)
-stubbornness increase
-irritable
-mood swings

something you can do is go to a drug store like wal greens and buy ketone strips and test your sef for ketones. this wont tell you for sure if you have diabetes but it is less common for a non diabetic to get ketones.

another thing you can do i if you dont want to go to a hospital and you on a low budget for about $19 you can buy a blood test meter. for a non diabetic person you should be between 80-120, but if you are sick or have an eating disorder it may be between 60-180. if your not diabetic and it is our of this range you should go to a doctor immediately.

also i hope your talking about type 1 diabetes not type 2. these are all regarding type 1

Q: Is it possible to have diabetes w/o having all of the symptoms?
Lately I have been having a good amount of the symptoms for diabetes specifically T1 but I haven’t been loosing rapids of amount of weight at all. So should I get checked out even though I don’t have all of the symptoms?

A: Yes, it’s possible, and it’s even better to get checked out now rather than later. Early detection, before you start having symptoms, improves your chance of having a better outcome with the disease and catches it before it has done damage to your body. If you have any concerns I recommend seeing your healthcare provider ASAP.
