10 Early Symptoms of Diabetes That Shouldn't Be Ignored

Here are 10 early symptoms that can help you recognize the onset of diabetes and control your blood sugar levels before it is too late.

1. You pee a lot

Insulin is the hormone responsible for drawing glucose from the bloodstream and into the cells, where it is used to produce energy. Too much sugar in the blood will eventually cause your kidneys to work overtime and fail, and the result will be increased levels of blood sugar and uric acid. Too much sugar in the blood will also strain your kidneys, which must process it to get rid of it. Your body uses urine to flush out the excess glucose and hydrate yourself, but if you have diabetes mellitus, this will happen less often and will take longer to do. Nevertheless, frequent urination will sap your energy levels.

When blood glucose levels become too high, the body tries to compensate by using the kidneys to filter the excess sugar from the blood. The kidneys then flush the glucose out of the body with urine, increasing the frequency of urination. An increase in urinary tract infections can also lead to more frequent urination at night.
