Can Common Symptoms Be a Sign of


Type 2 Diabetes? By Denise A. Pancyrz


which is regarded as indicating a condi- tion of disease, particularly such a feature that is apparent to the patient. Have you noticed any of the following symptoms as you age?


S


• Fatigue, frequently tired or have that foggy feeling


• Diffi culty maintaining a healthy weight


• Broken sleep; having to urinate too often


• Vision changes such as fl oaters, blurred vision, dark or empty spots


These are common symptoms we tend to disregard and consider part of the aging process. Did you know that these symp- toms can be a sign of diabetes?


Fatigue Fatigue can be due to aging, a de-


manding schedule, a lack of proper rest, or a combination of these symptoms. It is also a sign of diabetes which is an energy problem. Glucose is not effectively moved from your bloodstream to your cells so it can be stored for energy.


Weight Gain


In essence, weight gain is an imbal- ance of consuming more calories than what your body needs versus how many calories you burn. Weight gain is the visual sign of current and future ill health. Millions of Americans struggle with weight gain due to insulin resistance lead- ing to diabetes. A short-term diet may of- fer short-term weight loss. Addressing the imbalance of glucose and insulin requires


ymptoms are signs. Do you pay attention or ignore them? A symp- tom is a physical or mental feature


lifestyle changes. Please take note, with immediate weight loss, at any age, dia- betes should be taken into consideration due to defi cient insulin levels. Get tested as soon as possible.


Frequent Urination


Endless trips to the bathroom during the night can be due to a weakening blad- der or prostate issue. With poorly managed diabetes, your kidneys will fl ush excess glucose from the blood and into your urine, increasing the frequency of your trips to the bathroom. Poorly managed diabetes can increase your risk of urinary tract infections.


Vision Impairment


Vision issues such as fl oaters and dark spots can be age related. Blurred vision can be due to pink eye, the development of cat- aracts or high blood pressure. Dark spots or strings, blurry or wavy vision can be a symptom of diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is when blood vessels in the retina become damaged from long-term high glucose levels. Sudden vision changes should be addressed immediately.


Skin Disorders


Other symptoms such as itchy skin can go undiagnosed. Itchy skin and other skin disorders can be caused by digestive issues, food sensitivities and allergies. Did you know that these are symptoms that can be a sign of diabetes? Before I was diagnosed with diabetes, my skin was very itchy. I believed it was from dry skin due to cold weather while living in the Midwest.


Hot Flashes Hot fl ashes can be a tricky symptom.


I thought I was in perimenopause. No one suggested I get tested for diabetes. It seemed plausible, due to my age, that it was peri-

menopause. The resolution was balancing my blood glucose levels. The hot fl ashes and itchy skin went away. No creams, no salves, no medication for hot fl ashes.


There are many more symptoms of diabetes that can go undiagnosed. As you notice changes in your physical or mental being, take note. Discuss with your physi- cian if your symptom is the underlying reason for something much bigger. Con- sider the number of times you purchased over-the-counter treatments to attempt to resolve your symptom.


It may seem surprising that one disease can be linked to so many symptoms. That is because diabetes is a systemic issue. Diabetes can affect you from head to toe. Avoid mask- ing your symptoms and identify the underlying source of your issues. If diabetes is the root of your problem, the effects can be reversed naturally. You owe it to yourself to verify.
