Getting To Know Diabetes

Your health is not something that you should take lightly. It never hurts to shell out money just as long as you have an assurance that you’re healthy.

Diabetes is a common disease that anyone can have including children. There’s no current cure for it yet so you just need to be vigilant on this one.

My grandmother died because of diabetes. She has insulin shots just to keep everything stable and her wounds aren’t healing that fast anymore. My grandmother grew weaker and thinner. In the end, we lost her. But the thing I remembered the most about her is how she disciplined and loved me and my cousins.

How do you know that you’re already having diabetes?

Being too hungry can already set you up for diabetes. Insulin levels in your body get depleted and your organs go weaker. Because of the low energy output of your organs, your body craves for more food that it should to get some energy back.

Fluids in the body gets drained easily causing us to go thirsty more than before. As we gain thirstier, our urination becomes frequent as well. The body needs to release the excess water it has. It can also be a sign of kidney damage because whatever happens to your kidney, affects your urination.

The elevation of blood sugar is the most common and major symptom that diabetes can cause. To check on your blood sugar, you need to go to a doctor and get tested. A rise in blood sugar is caused by a problem in the insulin levels of the body. The glucose can’t be regulated right and problems start to arise.

Genetics are another reason why you may acquire diabetes. Yes this can be passed on.

When a person drastically decreases weight without even gaining weight, he should immediately go to a doctor to get checked. It’s not only a sign of diabetes, but all sorts of other problems as well. My dad decreased weight because of Hyperthyroidism and my grandmother decreased weight because of diabetes.

Preventing diabetes from happening can be done by simply living a healthy life. Going on exercise on a regular basis will help. Normally, dietitians and doctors will recommend a person to lose excess weight to keep diabetes from happening. To lose weight, you should also eat nutritious food. Everything starts from deciding to live healthy. In the end, it’s all up to us.
