These 5 changes in the body are the first knock of ‘diabetes’, if ignored there will be direct attack on kidneys and eyes.

News India Live, Digital Desk: Diabetes is a disease which is called ‘silent killer’. Often people are able to recognize it when it starts damaging the body parts. But, experts believe that when sugar level increases, our body starts giving certain signals much earlier. If these symptoms (Early Symptoms of Diabetes) are recognized in time, then it can be controlled with medicines and changes in lifestyle.

Attention If you are feeling these 5 symptoms, then get a sugar test done.

1. Frequent thirst and urination (Excessive Thirst & Urination):

When the amount of sugar in the blood increases, the kidneys work harder to remove it. In this process, the body consumes more water, due to which the throat becomes dry again and again and one has to go to the toilet several times at night.

2. Feeling unnecessarily tired and weak:

In diabetes, the body is unable to convert the sugar (glucose) obtained from food into energy. Despite eating enough food, you may feel lethargic and have ‘low energy’ throughout the day.

3. Blurry Vision:

High blood sugar levels can affect the fluid in the lens of the eye, causing vision problems. If you suddenly start seeing blurry, it could be a sign of increased sugar.

4. Wounds take a lot of time to heal:

Is your small scratch or injury not healing for weeks? High sugar level slows down blood circulation and reduces the healing power of the body.

5. Sudden weight loss and increased appetite:

If you are losing weight without any diet or exercise, don’t be happy. When the body does not get glucose for energy, it starts burning muscles and fat, which leads to weight loss.

Who is at greater risk? (Risk Factors)

If anyone in your family has a history of diabetes.

If your weight is more than normal (Obesity).

Lack of physical activity or exercise.

Too much stress and lack of sleep.

What to do for protection?

Regular Walk: A brisk walk of at least 30 minutes a day shows magical effects in controlling sugar.

Fiber rich diet: Include green vegetables, whole grains and fruits in your plate. Avoid flour and sugar.

Periodic Checkup: If your age is more than 30, then get ‘HbA1c’ test done at least once a year.Expert Tip: In case of pre-diabetes, the disease can be reversed by abstinence and exercise. Therefore do not ignore the symptoms.
