Early symptoms of adult onset diabetes is something everyone should be aware of, since statistically, diabetes is the 6th leading cause of death in the United States. There are approximately 24 million people who have been diagnosed with diabetes. What is even more amazing is that there are about 6 million, that’s 6 million, people out there that already have diabetes and don’t know it. Did you know that men develop diabetes more than women? Did you know that African Americans are more likely to develop diabetes than other populations?

In general, early symptoms of adult onset diabetes rear their ugly head sometime after you turn 40. This particular form of diabetes is called type 2 diabetes mellitus and is usually not insulin dependent, but rather, controlled by weight management, diet and exercise. However, if not controlled properly, it may require insulin injections and can lead to many, many complications.

As previously mentioned, there are millions of people out there who already have diabetes and don’t know it. The reason is that symptoms can be that mild that they are unnoticeable and that causes a delay in diagnosis. It is possible for this to go on for years. Finally things begin to get so bad that treatment can no longer be ignored. In some cases the symptoms become overwhelming and actually lead to an emergency that requires immediate medical attention.

Here are the early symptoms of adult onset diabetes; excessive urination, excessive thirst, excessive hunger, lethargy, impaired vision, slow healing wounds, frequent bacterial and fungal infections and erectile dysfunction. If you have any of these warning signs, your best bet is to schedule a visit with your doctor and have your blood glucose, or blood sugar, tested. The tests are simple and conclusive. Getting tested and treatment for early symptoms of adult onset diabetes pays huge dividends for a longer and healthier life. If you ignore these early warning signals and do nothing, read about the symptoms of uncontrolled diabetes, and the complications that can result. You won’t like the alternative.
