Common Health Problems
Updated on 28 December 2022
Diabetes happens when the blood glucose levels in a human body keep fluctuating and the body becomes incapable of producing insulin. Whether you have been recently diagnosed or have been fighting this silent disease for quite a long time, you can still live your best life if you have a proper understanding and awareness of this disease. In this article, we will discuss about the common symptoms of diabetes, the types of diabetes and how to manage diabetes at home.
Some of the common symptoms of diabetes are as follows:
Using the toilet frequently, especially at night
Feeling excessive thirst
Feeling lethargic and drowsy throughout the day
Losing weight continuously
Cuts and wounds heal slowly
Blurred vision
Dry mouth
Kussmaul breathing
Excessive hunger even after having full meals
If you experience any of the above symptoms, it's recommended that you consult a doctor so that they can diagnose whether you have diabetes or not.
Diabetes can happen to anyone and at any age. Here are some of the common types of diabetes:
The human body stops producing natural insulin and that leads to excess production of sugar in your blood. You can inject insulin via syringe, pump, or pen after consulting a doctor. With regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and insulin injections, you can easily control your diabetes in this condition.
This type of diabetes is commonly diagnosed in people who are above 45 years of age. In this condition, the human body is capable of producing insulin but is incapable of using it efficiently. You can control this stage by taking medicines prescribed by your Endocrinologist and by consuming fewer carbohydrates, investing ample time in exercising, eating healthy, and managing stress levels perfectly.
One can consider this as a borderline and a stage before type 2 diabetes. The slightly higher levels of blood sugar can be taken as warning signs. One can effortlessly control this stage and avoid getting diagnosed with type 2 diabetes only by eating well, taking prescribed medicines by the doctor, indulging in physical activities, and making some major lifestyle changes.
This occurs during pregnancy and doesn’t last long if the pregnant woman takes good care of her health. If the pregnant woman does not maintain a healthy body weight or does not invest enough time in exercising then the possibility and risk of gestational diabetes will last longer. Do not delay the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy because it makes the body of the mother insulin-resistant. 90% of the mothers bid goodbye to gestational diabetes after the birth of the child just because they eat appropriately and live a healthy lifestyle.
Here are some things you can adopt in your daily routine to manage diabetes naturally at home:
You can effortlessly manage your diabetes with the help of a doctor and a certified nutritionist as they both can guide you well about what to eat, and physical exercises, and will help you deal with this. If you avoid taking the right treatment and care for this life-threatening disease then it can seriously damage other organs of your body like kidneys, eyes, heart, and feet.
