Symptoms To Look For When Diagnosed With Diabetes

What is diabetes? Diabetes is when the pancreas has the inability to produce or utilize insulin to turn sugar into glucose in the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body. An organ called the pancreas makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel.

Here are examples of the following symptoms to look for that’s an indication of diabetes:
- Rapid weight loss
- Excessive thirst
- Excessive urination
- Blurred vision
- Dry or itchy skin
- Fatigue
- Nausea and vomiting
- Increased appetite
- Bad breath odor
- High blood pressure
-Numbness in the hands, feet and/or lower legs

Most of these symptoms take place in the body due to physical inactivity and eating high fat, high sugar, high carbohydrate diets, and eating processed packaged foods. These kinds of foods create more body fat, particularly in the abdominal area. When that happens, the fat adds stress to the pancreas, and causes the pancreas to work harder. Overtime, the stress on the pancreas causes it to wear down, and, therefore, promotes diabetes.

So what can be done to reverse this condition? Here are some examples of what can done to reduce or eliminate diabetes:

- Increase your physical activity. It can be as something as simple as 20-30 of walking, housework, bike riding, stretching, etc.

- Address any nutritional deficiencies you might have, and take nutritional supplements and eat foods that contain these particular nutrients to eliminate these deficiencies.

- Eliminate or restrict your intake on high sugar, high fat, high carbohydrate foods, and processed foods.
