Health; 8 surprising symptoms of diabetes

 The symptoms of type 2 diabetes usually appear in subtle ways. In fact, it’s typical for people in the early stages of the disease not to realize there’s something wrong for about 5 years before they are diagnosed.

 Diabetes can wreak havoc on your health, especially if it goes undiagnosed for too long, that is why it is important to know the signs and symptoms before it goes too far. Many of us know the most common symptoms—frequent urination, increased thirst and unusual weight loss, just to name a few; but there are plenty of other less obvious signs that something is not quite right.

Here are some of the most surprising symptoms of diabetes:

1. Snoring Is your snoring keeping your spouse up at night? Excessive nighttime noise is one symptom of diabetes, and has actually been shown to be a risk factor for developing the disease. One major sleep disorder associated with snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, is nine times more common in diabetics than in the general population. www.showmehealthytips.com

2. Feeling cold People with diabetes often feel unusually cold, especially in their hands and feet. This is due to diabetic neuropathy and kidney damage is the result of diabetes which causes poor circulation, and thus makes it difficult for your hands and feet to stay warm. www.showmehealthytips.com

 3. Irritability Diabetes isn’t just a disease of the body, it’s also a disease of the mind. The low glucose levels that are a hallmark of diabetes can cause all sorts of mental issues—including anxiety, apathy, moodiness, impaired judgement and, yes, irritability.

 4. Bed wetting Most of us haven’t wet the bed since we were little—but people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes are more prone to this embarrassing nighttime leakage. Frequent urination is a common symptom of diabetes and peeing in your sleep isn’t necessarily an exception.

5. Improved vision Poor vision and blindness are often associated with diabetes, but the opposite can also be true — some people with diabetes actually see their vision suddenly improve, at least temporarily. If you’ve worn glasses for decades and, all of a sudden, you can see clearly without them, talk to your doctor. www.showmehealthytips.com

6. Urinary tract infection Though many women, diabetic or not, develop a urinary tract infection at some point in their lives, women with diabetes are particularly susceptible to this painful infection.

7. Weird-looking foot Has your foot changed shape? As weird as it sounds, it’s one of the classic symptoms of diabetes. Nerve damage brought on by diabetes can change the shape of the muscles and bones in your feet. Your toes can curl, your arch can fall and the skin on your feet can get harder. www.showmehealthytips.com

8. Skin issues From ulcers to acne, nail infections to styes, people with diabetes are particularly prone to skin woes. Both bacterial infections, like styes and boils, and fungal infections, like candida, are common among people with diabetes.
