The symptoms of diabetes can be incredibly subtle, which means that many can live with the disease without even realizing it.
One of the most common signs is frequent urination, especially between evening and morning.
“Needing to go to the bathroom at night is considered normal, but frequent urination may indicate another underlying problem. High blood glucose levels can cause the body to excrete excess glucose in the urine. In this case, more sugar appears in the urine, which mimics the production of additional volumes of urine,” says family doctor Tatyana Zakharova especially for MedikForum.
Other symptoms include persistent thirst, fatigue, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, prolonged healing of cuts, and recurring genital itching or thrush.
Diabetes is currently one of the top ten causes of death. High BMI (body mass index) has been identified as the main risk factor responsible for more than half (52%) of deaths and disability, followed by poor diet, environmental and occupational risks, smoking, physical inactivity and alcohol consumption.
Despite the common belief that type 2 diabetes is only associated with obesity, lack of exercise and unhealthy diet, its prevention and control is much more difficult due to the many contributing factors.
