Scarry Signs of Diabetes


 

5 Scarry Signs of Diabetes You probably Don't Know About
Diabetes can hurt everything from your eyes to your erection.But you can control it.

It's of utmost importance to ensure that your blood sugar is under control.
Diabetes a condition resulting from extremely high blood sugar can have disastrous effects on the body.The complications of diabetes which is considered as fasting blood sugar levels of 126milligrams per deciliter or higher or a A1C of 6.5% or higher aren't always easy to spot.
Unlike other diseases that cause symptoms like a broken leg that warrants urgent attention,diabetes in many ways is a silent disease.
 You need to take it upon yourself to learn the symptoms of diabetes like excessive thirst or the frequent need to urinate.
Here is what you need to know.
1.Vision problems 



 Due to chronic levels of high blood sugar,blood vessels in the back of the eye are damaged.New fragile vessels are formed around the defunct ones.These new vessels are prone to breakage,leaking and bleeding.In the long run this can impair your vision and may lead to vision loss.
Luckily routine eye exams can pick up on these issues.

2.Numbness in your arms and/or legs
When the small blood vessels that supply your nerves become damaged,you might feel it in the form of numbness or tingling in your feet, arms, and hands.
If you experience chronic numbness,tingling or worsening shooting pains in your limbs alert your doctor.be on the watch out for callouses or non healing ulcers which if left untreated can eventually lead to amputation.



3.Erectile Dysfunction
To get an erection you need to have a good blood flow to your member and you need to have a strong nerve signal from your brain.Diabetes affects both mechanisms.
In addition,men with  diabetes have other factors that affect sexual functions including low testosterone levels and depression or anxiety.



4.Exhaustion
When your blood sugar is too high,your kidneys go into overdrive trying to filter waste from your blood.They end up working too hard which can lead to damage down the line according to the American Diabetes Association.
Kidney dysfunction happens gradually over a period of many years and it can be hard to know whether you are developing a kidney damage without a blood or urine test.Fatigue is an early symptom which is followed in advanced stages by nausea,itching lethargy or confusion


5.Chest pain
  People with diabetes have a four fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease.That's because too much blood sugar in your blood vessels surrounding the heart can contribute to a build up of plaque,which ultimately leads to a narrowing of the arteries which can lead to a heart attack.



If your blood sugar readings come back high, make it a priority to get diagnosed and get your levels down.

HEARTBREAK DOESN'T FALL FROM A BLUE SKY

And she doesn't charge through the door like an unwelcome quest. She seeps into the foundation like a leak in the basement. She finds her way in between the bricks, and waits quietly for the winter freeze. She stands outside,patiently anticipating a door left ajar. She steps quietly into the room,and abides her time until the prudent moment to clear her throat, and make her presence known. But for all of her stealth and subtlety,she is substantial if you look close enough, You can see the yellowing between the tiles. And if you listen hard, You can hear the floorboards creaking underfoot. And if you look up,you can see a shadow on the wall that perhaps,was not there when you closed your eyes, and you're too scared to roll over in your bed and look because you're too scared to know if she's standing there So you close your eyes and drift away whispering, "Not yet old friend.Let me sleep a while longer, for I am not ready to wake from ...
