The cases of diabetes are growing in the United States today.
This is due in part to our aging population as well as to our
growing waistlines. It is important for people that are at risk
to know the most common diabetes symptoms and what to do if they
should arise.
The reason that so many people do not know that they may have
diabetes is because some people show no diabetes symptoms.
Therefore, it is very important to have blood work checked every
year after the age of 45. This is often part of a routine
physical at this age, but it is always a good idea to check with
the doctor to make sure the test is being run.
Along with this list of symptoms, diabetes can also be
accompanied by stomach pains, vomiting or nausea. If these
symptoms occur in conjunction with the list, it could be the
immediate onset of type 1 diabetes, otherwise known as
insulin-dependent diabetes. When you call your doctors' office
for an appointment, be sure to tell them you are experiencing
possible diabetes symptoms and that you need to be seen right
away.
The first thing that you should know about diabetes is, it is
very important to pay attention to your body. There are over one
million new diagnoses of diabetes that are made each year.
Diabetes is directly or indirectly the cause of approximately
200,000 deaths every year. It is estimated that 17 million
people in America have diabetes, it is also estimated that
approximately one third of these people do not even know they
have the disease.
There are some common diabetes symptoms that should be checked
out by a physician. By themselves, each symptom is not a cause
for alarm. However, if more than a couple are noticed at one
time, an appointment with your primary care physician should be
made without hesitation.
