Have you been concerned about for either yourself, or someone near to you, & who may be showing early signs of diabetes -- i.e. many bathroom visits, urination, or thirst? We have listed several of the top warning signs below, which will help you to tell the difference between type one diabetes, which is insulin controlled and type 2 diabetes, which is dependent on lifestyle & diet changes. If you're fortified with the details of both of these illnesses, then these early warning signs of diabetes will give you ample time to pursue diagnosis and treatment.



Diabetes Insipidus which is very rare, & Diabetes Mellitus have similar symptoms. When your body can't make enough insulin, or if your cells aren't responding to insulin, you get a high blood glucose print out. People with diabetes often complain about having the following ailments or diabetic symptoms:



• Weight loss

• Deeper than usual breathing

• Extreme thirst & hunger

• Tiredness or fatigue -- beyond the normal

• Urination that's frequent

• Vomiting or nausea

• Sores that take longer than normal to heal

• Itchy skin

• Blurry vision

• Numbness in feet or hands

• Soreness or pain in the abdomen

• Yeast infections in skin, vaginal area, or mouth

• Skin itchy patches



During the initial parts of diabetes, a patient gets insulin sensitivity. During this part, a few things can be done or medicine given to improve upon any insulin sensitivity, or a reduction in glucose production by the person's liver. When diabetes progresses, insulin production fails altogether, and an insulin replacement can be vital in some patients.



A few of the early warning signs can be extremely subtle or even appear harmless. A person may also possess diabetes symptoms for months or even longer, along with no symptoms at all. Two top warning signals are the increased desire to take in fluids, along with the increased urge to urinate. When your kidneys are working overtime to filter out extra glucose, it may accumulate in your blood. Any extra sugar that can't be processed is excreted along with fluids. This is the trigger for excessive urination. As well, this can leave you dehydrated. When you drink more because you're feeling thirsty, you'll keep increasing the visits to the bathroom.



You can feel tired for lots of reasons. If you're dehydrated, then you can feel tired. Also, since your body is less able to use glucose for energy, you may tire more easily. Blurred vision is another indicator for diabetes, some of the time. Blood glucose at high levels takes fluid from your tissues, and this includes your eyes. You cannot focus properly. If left untreated, diabetes may cause some new blood vessels to form in your retina. If you gain pounds, then also watch out for these first signs of diabetes.
