What we need to know about diabetes
 Many signals of diabetes, whether it is diabetes type 1 or 2nd can be recognized almost immediately. And well, if you know the signals. This will help as soon as possible to consult a specialist and start to pay more attention to yourself and your health.

I offer you ten first signs of diabetes. Knowing about them, you can save lives, my or someone else's. Diabetes should be recognized in the early stages, then we can avoid serious complications. If you see at or near these features (in any combination), not too lazy to check blood sugar levels.

Top ten signs of diabetes:

1. You have become all too often go to the toilet.   Too frequent urination due to the large amount of glucose in the blood. When insulin is not enough or when it is ineffective, the kidneys are unable to filter glucose and deliver it back to the blood. Therefore, with an excess of glucose, kidney trying to drink water from the body to ease the excess glucose as to dilute it. This collected water, and fills the bladder. That is why you can spend half a day in the bathroom.

2. Often feel thirsty.   Even we can say constant thirst. It is also associated with an excess of glucose and water in the kidneys. When the kidneys take water from the body, I immediately needed to fill its reserves. The body constantly demands more water.

 3. Losing weight without dieting.   In type 1 diabetes, weight loss is rapid, and in type 2 diabetes - more gradually. Since the cells do not receive glucose, they are looking for alternative sources of energy. The only thing that remains - is to take energy from muscle and fat, so called rapid weight loss.

4. Fatigue and general weakness.   Glucose is taken by the body from food, then it is delivered to the cells by insulin. If the insulin is not working properly, the cells begin to starve, have received less glucose. A hungry cells - it was tired and weak body.

5. Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet.   This is due to nerve damage. High blood glucose damages the nervous system. However, people who have type 2 diabetes, this feature feels gradually, not immediately.

 6. Blurred vision.   High blood sugar causes bleeding in the retinal vessels, and they are damaged. The result - a weakened blood vessels, besides the liquid is not enough, his eyes swollen - and clarity of vision cleared. If this starts to happen, and time does not see a specialist, you can lose sight.

7. Dry skin, itching, peeling.   Dryness of the skin arises from a problem with the water, which occurs in the body due to diabetes. When the kidneys are "pull" water from the body, all other organs are affected. Because kidney drinking water from all of the skin as well.

8. Slow healing of wounds.   The wounds and bruises heal much more slowly due to the limited blood flow due to clogged arteries. Another reason for the slow healing of wounds - damage to the nervous system caused by diabetes. Sometimes it happens if struck nerves feet, then any injury, even serious, a person can not feel. Sensitivity is dulled considerably, you can not even notice the deep cut. And it is - one of the obvious signs of diabetes.

9. Fungal infections.   Excessive amounts of sugar can lead to the development of fungi in the gastro-intestinal tract. This in turn can lead to a vaginal fungal infections as well as infections of the gums, skin or urinary bladder. Eating foods that have natural sugars (those found in fruits), reduce the spread of a fungus that accumulates in the body.

10. Increased appetite.   Hunger is caused by a lack of insulin, which makes the body energetic. When the body lacks energy, it sends a signal requesting food. That is why many people with diabetes feel the need for food, even when they just finished eating.


But the main issue of concern: Is it possible to somehow prevent diabetes?   Scientists still do not give an exact answer, tablet or injection and this disease is no. However, experts say that type 2 diabetes for the most part, can be prevented. How? Constant maintenance of normal weight, proper nutrition and exercise. Naturally, much of this is easier said than done. But I decided a little help and produced some very simple techniques for the prevention of diabetes. Attack?

• Diet.   Make a schedule and stick to it. Eat at the same time each day. So, your body will get used to his "feed" all the time, and will not accumulate fat for later. It's also a wonderful way to control what you eat. Having a plan for the day ahead, you'll think through intuitive menus, which means that it will be a full meal, not casual snacks.

• Limited food.   Moreover, it is necessary to fully eat, but rather to reduce the size of servings. You yourself will understand in time that you do not need as much food as you cook. And read the labels on the right foods, pay attention not only on the composition but also its weight. For example, a serving of meat should be no more than 100 grams and not 250, as is often packed manufacturers.

 • Watch out for salt.   An excessive amount of salt is not conducive to the prevention of diabetes. Salt raises blood pressure and causes water retention. If you can not give up the salt, try to at least partially replace its spices. Now on the market there were many salt-free seasonings, pay attention to them.

• Eat slowly.   From the beginning of the meal must pass 20 minutes before the brain receives a command of the saturation of the stomach. At this time, you can eat a lot, is not it? So, if you want to keep moderation in eating, then eat as slowly as possible, then you will eat only what you need, not more.

The fact is that a lot of water is required for cleaning, waste transport, and only a small part of what we drink, it goes directly into the body itself. So important that a sufficient amount of moisture makes our skin young and beautiful.

• Take dancing.   Why is that? Dancing - it's a great way to get an adrenaline rush, he needs us, too. You can dance at home, you can entertain the dancing children can go to engage the group. This is a great load, which is accompanied by emotions.
