| The cases of diabetes are growing in
the United States today. This is due in part to our
aging population as well as to our growing waistlines.
It is important for people that are at risk to know the
most common diabetes symptoms and what to do if they
should arise.
The reason that so many people do not
know that they may have diabetes is because some people
show no diabetes symptoms. Therefore, it is very
important to have blood work checked every year after
the age of 45. This is often part of a routine physical
at this age, but it is always a good idea to check with
the doctor to make sure the test is being run.
Along with this list of symptoms,
diabetes can also be accompanied by stomach pains,
vomiting or nausea. If these symptoms occur in
conjunction with the list, it could be the immediate
onset of type 1 diabetes, otherwise known as
insulin-dependent diabetes. When you call your doctors'
office for an appointment, be sure to tell them you are
experiencing possible diabetes symptoms and that you
need to be seen right away.
The first thing that you should know
about diabetes is, it is very important to pay attention
to your body. There are over one million new diagnoses
of diabetes that are made each year. Diabetes is
directly or indirectly the cause of approximately
200,000 deaths every year. It is estimated that 17
million people in America have diabetes, it is also
estimated that approximately one third of these people
do not even know they have the disease.
There are some common diabetes
symptoms that should be checked out by a physician. By
themselves, each symptom is not a cause for alarm.
However, if more than a couple are noticed at one time,
an appointment with your primary care physician should
be made without hesitation.
