Diabetes, as we all know, can be called a disease that "drags out".
You think it will show its "true colors" in just a few days, but it often turns out to be hidden deeply, like a procrastinator, slowly "sneaking" and breeding, and by the time you find out, it is already entrenched in you and starting to live its own life.
It's like when you're pushing a box, and suddenly you find that it's getting heavier and heavier, and there's more and more stuff in it, until you wake up and you're already carrying it and can't move.
This is diabetes, which is obviously a very inconspicuous existence, but once you find it, it will simply make you "lose all your money".
To put it bluntly, diabetes does not want to directly confront you, but adopts a "tug-of-war" approach, which drags, drags, drags, and finally drags and drags and becomes a disease.
Do you feel something is wrong with your body? It may be that diabetes is "quietly lurking", slowly dragging your health into the abyss.The doctors' reminders are not unreasonable, the process of diabetes "dragging out" is not as easy and simple as you think.
Many people think that diabetes is a patent for middle-aged and elderly people, and it has nothing to do with young people like me. It's naïve.
According to the data of the World Health Organization, diabetes does not only occur at the age of 40 years and above, it has developed to a younger age, and even quietly rises in the younger population.
Look at those young people who like to stay up late, eat takeout, and exercise less, the threat of diabetes is not far away.
So, how did diabetes slowly "drag" out? First of all, it is not a disease that breaks out suddenly, but quietly accumulates over a long period of "inadvertently".
Many people don't realize that they have diabetes until the end, and some people even have diabetes that has been "incubating" for many years until they are discovered during an occasional physical examination.That's the biggest cunning aspect of diabetes.
The "invisible killer" of diabetes has four common "characteristics".If you feel like you're experiencing any of these things in your body, you need to keep an eye on them. These four symptoms must not be ignored! Once it appears, you should check your blood sugar in time.
Have you noticed? Recently, I can't hold my pee, I always want to run to the toilet, especially when I sleep at night, it seems that there is always a "toilet" behind you, and I can't stop.
You think you're drinking too much water, but you're not. Frequent urination is likely to be a sign of diabetes. When there is too much sugar in the body, the body tries to excrete this excess sugar through the urine.
However, this process of urination is not as simple as "going to the toilet", and the urine of diabetic patients often contains high concentrations of sugar, which is the enemy of human health.
Under normal circumstances, the number of urinations a day should be between 6 and 0 times, and if it frequently exceeds this range, especially if accompanied by symptoms such as thirst and fatigue, the risk of diabetes needs to be taken seriously.
This symptom is often overlooked, especially in the hot summer, when people always feel that "thirst is normal".However, if you're so thirsty that you can't drink a full bottle of water and you always feel like your throat is dry, that's not right.
Diabetics have too much sugar in their bodies, and water in their bodies will be excreted excessively, resulting in a strong feeling of thirst.
In fact, this "strange thirst" is the "reporting signal" of diabetes. If the thirst is very severe and accompanied by frequent urination, it cannot be ignored.
Diabetes often comes with an interesting symptom of what it looks like you're losing weight, but you don't care how you're losing weight.
In other words, diabetes may allow you to lose weight "on your own" without dieting or exercising.
For what reason?Because diabetes prevents the body from making the most of the food it consumes, especially sugar, the body begins to "self-consume" stored fat and muscle to maintain normal function.
You will find that you have unconsciously lost weight, that arm has become thinner, and your pants are loose and no longer fit, but this is not really weight loss, but a "by-product" of diabetes.
Suddenly find yourself very tired, you want to sleep after working for a while every day, you have no strength to walk, and you feel that simple activities are much harder than usual?
If this unexplained "laziness" persists for a long time, it may not be a "lazy disease", but a warning sign of diabetes.Diabetes affects your body's ability to utilize glucose, causing you to not get energy quickly when you exercise.
Even though you eat, your blood sugar isn't being used effectively, which eventually leads to fatigue. What's even more frightening is that the "fatigue" of diabetes can accompany various activities of daily life, causing you to gradually lose your vitality.
One of the "hateful" things about diabetes is that it doesn't knock you down all at once like a cold.It's about making you feel wrong day by day, slowly losing your health, and finally by the time you find out the problem, it's often hard for you to turn back.
However, don't assume that these symptoms are the "standard template" for diabetes. Not all people with diabetes experience these conditions, and some people even get diabetes without obvious symptoms.
Therefore, doctors always remind everyone not to wait for the symptoms to show up before going for a check-up, and it is far smarter to check your blood sugar regularly than to wait until the symptoms of discomfort appear before going to the doctor.
But what do these symptoms represent, you may ask? How exactly can you distinguish diabetes from other problems from these symptoms? In fact, we can see two very "interesting" questions from these symptoms:
The importance of healthy habits: In fact, many diabetes symptoms are not mysterious, but caused by small problems that you don't usually pay attention to.For example, long-term high-sugar diet, lack of exercise, overeating and other lifestyles are all potential "fuses" for diabetes.
Early detection, early prevention: Diabetes is not uncontrollable, if it can be detected at an early stage and improve physical health through diet control and exercise adjustment, then diabetes can be completely "contained" at an early stage.
Everyone doesn't want to let the disease "invade" them, but if one day you find yourself thirsty, urinating a lot, or losing weight for no reason, remember not to delay and check your blood sugar quickly, it may be just a small warning sign.
At that time, you can adjust your diet and exercise to avoid the deterioration of the condition, and even easily control the condition to avoid diabetes from dragging on.
However, if it is really delayed, it is really something that no one can do.
