Many people think that only when there is manifested constantly thirsty, going to the toilet a lot, numb hands, feet ..., I have the ability to diabetes. However, experts say there are many amazing signs showing your blood sugar abnormalities.
Skin discoloration
Dark skin, black borders at the crease, usually in the neck, elbows, knuckles ... usually early warning signs of high blood sugar.
Dermatologists Sanjiv Saini from Edgewater, Maryland (USA) said: "Although genetic factors or hormones can cause pigmentation disorders but after noticing the dark skin, the first thing I do is first check the patient's blood glucose levels alone ".
The expert said high insulin levels promote the growth of skin cells and melanin - a pigment in cells - creating dark patches. Normally, the test results will detect blood glucose levels higher than normal, early signs of diabetes. Therefore, if you are in this stage, be reduced by at least 5 kg to reduce blood sugar levels.
Visibility is improved
If visibility improves suddenly makes you not need glasses, do not rush to celebrate! High blood sugar can make your vision better. "You often read the news that blurred vision is one of the symptoms of diabetes. But in fact, views can change for the better or worse ", Prof. Dr. Howard Baum diabetes specialist at Vanderbilt University (USA) - said.
"I have had patients say that their vision was improved when blood sugar levels rise. However, after starting the treatment of diabetes, they have to wear glasses again, "he said. Diabetes causes the body fluid changes, including those contained in the eyes, leading to abnormal vision.
Itching incessantly
If you think it is absurd for itchy skin that diabetes go to the doctor, then you're wrong. Diabetes impairs blood circulation, which can lead to dry skin and itching. "Some patients newly diagnosed with diabetes say they hear of me tingling in the hands, legs, feet. Therefore, the diagnosis, the doctor should consider putting this sign on the list of symptoms of diabetes ", Prof. Dr. Howard Baum said.
Hearing ability
Hearing a sudden drop may be also be a symptom of diabetes. If you realize you have to turn up the volume while watching TV or or regularly arrest people facing repeated questions just said, should go to the doctor and check your blood sugar. A study conducted by the National Institutes of Health said hearing loss can be an early warning sign of diabetes. People who have high blood sugar levels but not high enough to have diabetes have a 30% likelihood of hearing damage than those with glucose levels in the permit ".
The researchers suggest that diabetes damages the blood vessels and nerves in the ear resulting in hearing decrease.
Snore like thunder
"About half of patients with type 2 diabetes, respiratory disorders during sleep," said Dr. Osama Hamdy - managing director of the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston - said. Therefore, if you suffer from loud snoring and sleepiness during the day, so go check blood sugar levels.
A recent study from Canada showed that 23% of patients are diagnosed with sleep apnea, sleep disorders continue to develop diabetes over 5.5 years. It is unclear the relationship between snoring, sleep apnea and diabetes, but the researchers said patients may sleep disorders and breathing tend to liberate stress hormones during sleep, causing sugar in the blood rises.
