November 14th is World Diabetes Day every year. This disease ranks 3rd in the world among deaths after cardiovascular diseases and oncology, so it is very important to identify signs indicating this disease in time.
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by an increase in blood glucose levels. Together with other disorders in diabetes, this contributes to the development of atherosclerosis and damage to blood vessels. That is why people with diabetes are more likely to develop heart attacks and strokes than people without diabetes. It also significantly reduces the quality and duration of life.
The first symptoms of diabetes are easy to miss. And it is not always possible to associate it with this disease. The presence of diabetes mellitus is characterized by one or more of the following:
- constant feeling of thirst, dry mouth;
- fatigue and increased weakness;
- night trips to the toilet;
- skin itching;
- rapid weight loss or excess weight;
- numbness of the fingertips.
If you analyze these symptoms, you can suspect diabetes in many people, from children to the elderly. The disease has no age.
