Symptoms Of Diabetes

Diabetes is an unpleasant and debilitating disease. According to statistics recently published by the American Diabetes association, the number of American diabetes sufferers currently runs at around 20.8 million people. A more frightening statistic is that 54 million people in America are in the high risk category for developing the disease in the immediate future. It is essential to be able to recognize the symptoms of diabetes; in fact your life might depend on it.

The symptoms of diabetes can begin very severely without forewarning. The symptoms of Type 1 diabetes are as follows: Unquenchable thirst, dry mouth, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and frequent urination. The symptoms of Type 2 diabetes tend to manifest themselves more gradually. They include: Blurred vision, yeast infections, slow-healing cuts or sores, increased thirst, dry mouth, leg pain, and more frequent urination.

Many doctors administer drugs to treat the symptoms of diabetes because they have been led to believe that there simply is no cure for the disease. However, symptoms and pain are our body’s way of letting us know that something is seriously wrong. Using drugs to mask this communication can be dangerous because we have no way of knowing if our symptoms have become worse. Medications also cause severe side effects. No two people are identical, yet many of us are prescribed the same dosage of drugs. Conventional medications are completely ineffective for curing diabetes or its root causes. Fortunately, there is a non-chemical alternative to consider.
