As a rule, the development of diabetes in a human body is slow. Therefore, unfortunately, the disease is often detected too late. Meanwhile, there are some signs that allow to identify the disease in one of its earliest stages. It is only necessary to pay attention to the state of their own... armpits.
We should worry darkened areas of the skin in the armpit. Dark "velvet" spots in the fold are the manifestation of diabetes. Typically, they are located just under the armpits, but can also appear on the neck. Such stains are called "acanthosis nigricans" and may also be signs of resistance to insulin.
In diabetes at an early stage, there may be other symptoms:
- constant thirst;
- not passing feeling of fatigue;
- wanton loss of weight;
- oft-repeated (in spite of the intermittent treatment) condition of a dairy, as well as some itching in the genital area;
- does not heal wounds, cuts;
- "deliquescent" picture before my eyes.
It should also pay attention to their own urination and periodically take a urine sample. Should be alerted:
1. Frequent visits to the toilet (especially at night).
2. The sharp smell of urine (which is felt not only during the emptying of the bladder, but in addition to this - for example, in bed).
3. Blood in the urine (or it is evident or indicated in the results of the analysis).
Important! The last point is particularly telling. It can be a symptom of diabetes, and kidney disease. Blood in the urine in case of renal pathology caused by damage to small vessels. They become leaky or no longer function, preventing the outputting system.
It is necessary to try to maintain blood glucose levels as close to normal. This will reduce the risk of kidney disease, and diabetic complications. It is equally important to keep under control and blood pressure. And you need to control your weight, as this factor also increases the risk of many pathologies and, including diabetes.
