Diabetes is a common disease that affects millions of people around the world.
This information was reported by Medicalanswers, reports URA-Inform.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough of the hormone insulin or simply does not respond to it. As a rule, the disease is discovered by chance during a routine examination.
The main problem with early diagnosis lies in symptoms that remain undetected for a long time. According to an American therapist from The Joint Chiropractic, some «strange» signs that signal problems in the body.
For example, some patients notice that their vision has improved somewhat. It is caused by slight changes in the fluid in the eyes that affect vision. Diabetes can also cause persistent itching. As a rule, an unpleasant sensation regularly appears in the arms, feet and legs.
In addition, about 30 percent of patients notice deterioration in hearing. The fact is that in diabetes, the blood vessels and nerves of the inner ear are damaged, which can subsequently lead to complete loss of hearing.
Known signs of the disease, which include a frequent urge to urinate, numbness in the arms and legs, or a feeling of constant thirst may not appear, doctors warned. The most common symptoms include feeling very tired or wounds and cuts that take a long time to heal.
