Symptoms...

What are the symptoms?

Many people are very unaware of the signs of diabetes as I was also very uneducated. For two months I had an extreme thirst and nothing, not even water would quench my thirst. But I just thought, hey maybe I drank too much alcohol, or it's too hot outside. With every beverage I was in the bathroom urinating it out after 15 minutes. I was also tired, I mean extremely tired right after getting up. Let's not forget the 13lbs I lost within a month without trying. Finally after the last week before my diagnosis, I almost fainted on 3 different occasions for no reason what so ever, in an air conditioned area too! I knew it was time for a hospital visit.
*Also, just to add, Diabetes either runs in your family or it just happens. 

 Here is a list of symptoms you should look out for:

• Extreme thirst
• Hungry
• Fatigue
• Blurry vision
• Feeling numbness or feeling tingling in your feet
• Losing weight without trying
• Frequent urination

• Deep, rapid breathing
• Dry skin and mouth
• Flushed face
• Fruity breath odor
• Nausea/vomiting, inability to keep down fluids
• Stomach pain

Remember to constantly be in touch with your doctor, and make your annual health visits to stay on track of your body.
