Children, young, and adults are suffering from diabetes and its complications because till now there is no effective cure for diabetes. There are many causes of diabetes but generally speaking obesity and  vast amounts of sugar in our diet may contribute to produce diabetes. How do we know that we have diabetes and what are the signs that lead us to worry?


First,  we need to know a brief definition of diabetes.


There are two types of diabetes :


- Type 1 diabetes : The pancreas not producing enough insulin.


-Type 2  diabetes : The body’s cells not responding appropriately  to insulin.


The two types result in high blood sugar levels due to the body’s inability to make  enough insulin to process the glucose in the blood.


Till now  the causes of Type 1 diabetes are not known, but it occurs when the pancreas produces little or no insulin. it generally appears during childhood or adolescence.


Type 2 diabetes is the most common type which occurs often with people having obesity or poor diet. This type of diabetes can be controlled  by having a healthy diet, injections and tablets, and insulin supplementation.


This is brief information about what is diabetes. Now we need to know the major signs of diabetes. We should know that the signs of both Type 1 and Type 2 can be very similar because they cause a drop in blood sugar levels.


Symptoms:


- Unusual  weight loss


- Extreme thirst


- Blurred vision


- Frequent urination especially at night


- Extreme hunger


- Irritability


If you find these symptoms persistent then immediately consult a doctor because diabetes if left untreated  can lead to many complications like amputation, heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and many other undesired problems.
