Diabetes is a serious condition where the body is incapable of converting glucose into energy. This may be the result of insufficient insulin produced by the pancreas which is impaired in its functioning. Diabetes symptoms develop slowly and steadily and may not be easy to detect. These include fatigue, abrupt loss of weight, and difficulty in vision.
Other diabetes symptoms include wounds that take a very long time to heal, frequent urination, and at night, thirst caused by loss of fluids, and excessive urination also. Any or all of these symptoms requires a check up by the doctor to see if they are symptoms of diabetes, specially if you have heart trouble, defective vision, numbness in the feet and legs. You must immediately get yourself checked up and diagnosed.
