Since a couple of months, Vijay had been experiencing excessive thirst through the day. A gradual weight loss inspite of hardly any physical activity and an overall feeling of fatigue had him worries. He thought it was probably the long nights spent at completing deadlines. However, soon Vijay started facing headaches and blurry vision at the computer. It was time to visit a doctor and  find out what was going on.

Vijay’s doctor sent him for blood tests which confirmed that he had developed diabetes. His doctor put him on a course of medication to control his diabetes symptoms and bring the disease under control. Diabetes had caught Vijay unawares. It does so with thousands of people across the world. A subtle disease, the signs and symptoms of diabetesoften go unnoticed for a long time.

Diabetes is a global epidemic and claims new victims every day. The good news is that the condition can be successfully controlled if detected early. Diabetes can happen to anyone at any age. Even children are affected. Here are 10 common symptoms of diabetes which are warning signals that you need to visit a doctor immediately.

  1. Blurry vision

High levels of blood sugar affect the tissues in your body, including those in the eyes. This leads to a swelling in the retina and affects vision. This explains why many diabetics experience blurry vision. Once glucose levels are brought under control, this symptom goes away.

  1. Frequent urination and thirst

One of the main symptoms of diabetes is an excessive thirst inspite of lack of heat or any physical exertion. In diabetes, the kidneys have towork continuously to filter all the excess sugar in the blood. This leads to a cycle of frequent urination and thirst.

  1. Fatigue and confusion

Diabetics often go through sudden phases of fatigue and confusion. This is mainly due to a sudden drop in blood sugar levels. This is an important symptom of diabetes which should not be ignored as it can cause blackouts and even diabetic coma.

  1. Slow healing

If your cuts or wounds seem to bleed longer than normal, you might have a blood sugar issue. People with high blood sugar experience weakened immunity levels which lead to slow healing of wounds on the body.

  1. Excessive sweat

An imbalance in blood sugar levels causes a certain level of damage to nerves that control body functions such as urination and sweating. If you sweat a lot and feel light-headed without any unusual physical exertion, this is a symptom of diabetes.

  1. Sudden weight loss

Diabetics usually experience a sudden drop in their weight inspite of hardly any change in their diet or routine. This happens because frequent urination and excessive sweat lead to an immense loss of calories from the body.

  1. Sexual dysfunction

Diabetes is known to lead to a loss of libido and fertility in both, men and women. Moreover, erectile dysfunction is also a common symptom of diabetes among men.

  1. Ovarian cysts

Many women who suffer from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) end up developing diabetes. Irregular periods are connected with an insulin imbalance and this is a condition that should be treated to avoid an onset of diabetes.

  1. Mood swings

Glucose levels that are out of control can affect your moods often leaving you with depression-like symptoms. You might experience sudden exhilaration and a sudden dullness. These are symptoms of diabetes which should be treated immediately.

  1. Numbness in extremities

An excess of blood sugar can lead to a loss of sensation in the hands and feet. Many diabetics experience a tingling sensation in their fingers and toes. A frequent loss of sensation in the lower legs, feet, or fingers should be shown to a doctor immediately.
