Provides information on diabetes mellitus and its common signs and symptoms.

1. Diabetes Signs and Symptoms
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and complex disease, which can affect the entire body.
Diabetes is caused by having too much glucose or sugar in the blood.
Carbohydrate metabolism
Carbohydrate is broken down in stomach and glucose is separated and realized in to the
blood stream and it is consumed by the body cell once insulin is secreted by pancreas. And
the excess of glucose is stored in the liver by converting glucose into glucogen.
If in-fasting and no food consumed then there will be shortage of glucose in blood. Low
glucose level means low level of insulin in blood, on seeing this liver convert stored glucogen
into glucose and realized into the blood stream to maintain blood glucose level.
Insulin hormone
The above said all conversions are controlled by insulin secreted by the pancreas. Insulin is a
hormone and it is the controlling or commenting signal that controls carbohydrate metabolism
and helps to maintain normal blood glucose level in blood.
Diabetes
Any defect in the carbohydrate metabolism causes an increase in blood glucose level in the
blood called as diabetes. Diabetes is caused by shortage of insulin secretion or in-effective
utilization of insulin (insulin resistance).

2. Diabetes sign and symptoms
Body system tries to normalize high level of glucose in blood by different means causing
some unusual symptoms called as diabetes symptoms.
Some of the most common diabetes symptoms are:
 Frequent urination - Frequent urination does not means two or three time urination than
normal, but it means doubled or tripled urination than normal.
 Frequent or too much thirsty - Frequent thirst means even after drinking enough water,
there will be thirst with very short time.

feeling of tired and fatigue.
 Poor wound healing – If having hurt which heals very slowly than normal.
 Irritability – Mentally feel tired and irritable.
If have many of these diabetes symptoms, then it is advisable to have a blood test to measure
glucose level in blood. And if proved positive then it is must to maintain the blood glucose
level near normal, because long term of badly maintained blood glucose level may lead to
many diabetes complications such as; nerve damage, eye damage, kidney problems, heart
attack, brain stroke, erectile dysfunction, depression and amputation.
