Here is an overview of diabetes mellitus signs and symptoms. The classical diabetes mellitus signs and symptoms are frequent urination, increased thirst and increased hunger. In type I diabetes these signs and symptoms can develop rapidly (weeks or months), especially in children. In type 2 diabetes however, the signs and symptoms develop at a significantly slower pace. In some cases they are non-existent. Type I diabetes can also be characterized by a significant weight loss even if eating habits are normal or increased. In addition, there may be mental fatigue that just doesn’t go away. In cases where type 2 diabetes is uncontrolled, all of these signs and symptoms can be present, although the weight loss may occur at the onset of the disease. In the end, the final diagnosis is made by testing and measuring the blood glucose concentration.
Diabetes Mellitus Signs
These are some of the diabetes mellitus signs. The medical description of what occurs as a result of the disease is; when the glucose in the blood reaches that point where it is higher than the renal threshold, re-absorption of glucose in the proximal real tubuli is incomplete and therefore some of the glucose remains in the urine. As a result, the osmotic pressure of the urine is increased and does not allow re-absorption of water by the kidney, which causes increased urine production and increased loss of fluid. Since there is lost blood volume, it will be replaced osmotically from water being held in other areas of the body, which causes dehydration and increased thirst.
Diabetes Mellitus Symptoms
The following are some of the diabetes mellitus symptoms. What can happen as a result of prolonged high blood glucose is this; changes in the shape of the lenses in the eye, resulting in vision changes including blurry vision. This can happen rapidly in type I diabetes and more gradually in type 2 diabetes. The good news is that a return to a more sensible and sustained glucose control will return the eyes to normal. Also, there are cases, primarily in type I diabetes where diabetic ketoacidosis may be present. This is an extreme state of metabolic dysregulation which generally shows itself by the smell of acetone on the individual’s breath. A rapid and deep breathing condition may also appear as well as many altered state of consciousness or arousal such as hostility, mania, confusion or lethargy. In severe instances, a coma may follow that can progress to death. If these symptoms are present, be aware that this is a medical emergency situation and it requires immediate hospitalization. A symptom that is rarer, but equally severe, is hyperosmolar non ketotic state, which is more common among type 2 diabetes and is mainly the result of dehydration due to loss of body water. In many cases this is due to drinking extreme amounts of sugar containing drinks, which lead to a continuous circle of drinking and urination and therefore water loss. Another item of note is skin rashes. There are any number of these rashes that collectively are known as diabetic dermadromes.
If you or someone you know are exhibiting these diabetes mellitus signs and symptoms seek professional medical assistance immediately.
