Abnormal Thirst — In an effort to eliminate excess sugar from the blood through urine, the body demands plenty of fluids which in turn results in increased thirst and dryness of the mouth. Vision Defects — Sugar in the lens of the eyes makes it swell and refract light improperly which may result in blurred vision or appearance of floaters before the eyes. Usually, these symptoms appear at a much later stage, when the damage is already done to the eyes. Frequent Skin Infections — Excess blood glucose suppresses body’s defence system — the immunity. This is why bruises, cuts and wounds heal very slowly, if there is high blood sugar. Also sugar is a very good food for bacteria to thrive and grow. Thus skin infections, recurrent boils, dry or itchy skin and rashes are more common in diabetics. The skin around genitals may also  be very itchy. Recurrent Yeast Infections in Women — Vaginal yeasts causing infections thrive on the sugary urine of female diabetics. Urinary tract infections are also fairly common in females because the uretha is much shorter than that of the males. Tingling Sensation or Numbness — Tingling sensation and/or numbness in hands and feet and burning sensation/pain in arms and legs have been known to be caused by nerve damage and later nerve cell death due to diabetic neuropathy. Bad Breath and Red Swollen Tender Gums — Harmful bacteria thrive and grow quickly due to high blood sugar in the saliva which can lead to inflammation and bleeding of the gums and help create foul smelling gases resembling smell of nail polish remover. Type I Diabetes Symptoms — The three symptoms of vomiting, hunger for air and coma can be signs of Type I diabetes that is worsening. Immediate medical attention is necessary in this case.

DIABETIC COMPLICATIONS

5.       Diabetes is not simply a disorder of the pancreas but affects the entire body, especially the liver, kidneys, the nervous system, thyroid, spleen, circulatory system, hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenal glands. It is also not a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, but also affects both fats and proteins. The entire metabolism is upset, as well as all the hormones that control it. The longer you have had diabetes and the less care you have taken, the more complications there will be. The following list includes some of the more common complications caused by diabetes.
