14 initial and Dangerous signs of diabetes, this disease that affects more than 13 million Brazilians and about one million Portuguese, which by population, this is a very significant number. Let's start with the signs and symptoms what you will feel What are the manifestations of your body that can indicate that your blood sugar is high and here I will tell you what are the signs and symptoms of when it is high and when it is too high there is a difference that you will understand in this video first, both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes can give symptoms The difference is that in type 1 diabetes it will be faster it is a disease it is a manifestation that happens more quickly what Because the pancreas stops producing insulin there is an autoimmune attack on the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin so you can have the symptoms the evolution in a faster way blood sugar reaches higher levels more quickly in type 2 diabetes that you have insulin production, sometimes even excess insulin, but this hormone is not able to act, you cannot take the sugar and put it inside the den cells of the muscles and in this type of diabetes type 2 diabetes that most about 90 to 95% of the cases will happen will be slower those classic symptoms that you know of diabetes may not happen many times you may not even feel anything, symptoms nonspecific that you sometimes think is from another disease so that's why it's important for you to be aware of all the early signs of diabetes let's start with the signs and symptoms I'm just going to make the goal here this time I won't forget 5,000 likes because this way system understands that the video is relevant ends up distributing it to more people and more people having access to this content we managed to disseminate this information since I mentioned that expressive number of diabetics but there are even more pre-diabetics some studies put between 30 million or even others 40 million pre-diabetics only in Brazil and about 25% of these pre-diabetics in five years will become diabetic so early diagnosis it's very important for health number one bad breath wow but what does breath have to do with diabetes when blood sugar is too high what happens we can't take advantage of that sugar to use it as energy because of the hormone insulin that it won't be working properly and one of the things that happens to our body is the production of so-called ketone bodies and you eliminate these ketone bodies through breathing So it will cause bad breath This is one of the symptoms we call the initial symptoms of type diabetes 1 not so much with type 2 diabetes I said I would comment and tell the difference so bad breath It usually refers to when blood sugar is too high increased levels of blood glucose like blood glucose 130 - 135 do not cause this type of symptom but bad breath can be a symptom of diabetes number 2 burning in the legs is the most common chronic complication of diabetes change in sensitivity because it can mean diabetic neuropathy A c ada two diabetics one can have neuropathy 50% of diabetes are millions and millions of people so pay attention to burning sensation and change in sensitivity in the legs and feet here to have diabetic neuropathy you do not necessarily need to have extremely high blood sugar numbers an alteration Initial one slight change over time can lead you to have neuronal changes changes in burning sensitivity and yes you can have diabetic neuropathy we have already seen that it is very frequent so be aware number 3 slow healing when blood sugar rises you have impaired function of some cells among them the cells are responsible for carrying out the healing and also because of the blood flow to the place that can be compromised so Pay attention to the time it takes you to heal the wounds in your healing if it is slower than the normal one has to evaluate blood sugar levels because it is one of the symptoms one of the signs of diabetes pay attention to the healing process that many people end up not paying attention to this sign here and end up wasting time to discover the disease at an earlier stage in the initial phase number 4 change in libido You ask this a lot, many and several comments if diabetes can change libido which is not much talked about and yes diabetes can cause impotence, there are two factors, the first of which is due to changes in the blood vessels that the diabetic can have a change in the blood supply then yes and the second reason that also happens because high levels of sugar in the blood can alter the function of the pituitary gland that produces some hormones such as FSH and LH the latter which is responsible for stimulating the Testosterone production in the testicles so yes changes in libido and changes in women in this case right in the menstrual cycle and also in libido in the case in men impotence in women change in menstrual cycle in reduced libido for both so be very careful number 5 very thirsty because very thirsty, so you probably already knew why the diabetic drinks a lot of water and this symptom that only goes to happens when the level is higher ok, your body tries to compensate for it since there is a lot of sugar in the blood it tries to compensate by drinking more water without the stimulus for Thirst so yes if you are drinking more fluids than normal it could be a symptom including that one symptom of type 1 diabetes or type 2 diabetes when the sugar is higher in this case it is not an initial sign but the initial sign of type 1 diabetes or a more advanced sign has type 2 diabetes number 6 very hungry we call it hyperphagia because how you cannot take advantage of the energy of food your body has a stimulus to be more hungry for you to eat more for you to ingest more calories and this stimulus does not depend on whether you eat or not . a sign of a change in blood sugar number 7 changes in the gums and teeth frequent infections gum bleeding and also a specific change called periodontitis because I bring it here because diabetics who have periodontitis have a three times greater risk of cardiac death for example so alterations in the teeth is very important you also know that it can be a sign of diabetes number 8 recurrent urinary infections because one of the mechanisms that your body has is to eliminate the sugar in the pee in the urine the kidneys they end up trying to contribute to normalize the blood sugar and end up eliminating the sugar this ends up making you more predisposed to have urinary infections I have seen several cases of diabetic patients when I ask directly about this, right specifically the question focused on urinary infection many report that yes ah it's true I've been having repeated urinary infections in the last year I've had it several times so pay attention to that in addition to having the correct treatment you have to investigate the blood sugar and here is a feature that this usually happens when blood sugar levels are higher s than 180 the kidneys start with this mechanism so there that alteration right there is 30 140 it will not cause this ok and higher levels the higher the blood sugar levels the more the kidneys will eliminate glucose so pay attention ah so that 's why they say that when a diabetic urinates the ants go to the toilet they go to the bathroom it's true that's not a myth it happens ants in the trash too because there can be a little urine on the papers for example and also in the toilet or in the bathroom it can mean diabetes and the I'm not going to put another sign I'm not going to count it here as a sign because I talked about urinary infection but pay attention to that too number 9 fatigue plus 60% of Diabetics in the diagnosis will report fatigue weakness because your body can't use glucose it's you you can't have enough energy and It could indeed be a sign of diabetes as well as several other diseases But by the frequency of diabetes you have to think number 10 changes in vision blurred vision this can happen for two reasons.
The first is because high blood sugar levels can damage your retina causing a typical diabetes disorder called diabetic retinopathy. You've probably heard about it but also when the levels are very high this can happen both in type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes in a phase more advanced can impair your vision causing blurring so you always have changes in your vision it can also be a sign of diabetes first 11 darkened spots in the fold regions change also called acanthosis nigricans, because when we have it called insulin resistance and this is a symptom but it will already be type 2, it can even appear in pre-diabetes when the body has to produce more insulin to try to compensate this can stimulate the appearance of these spots, right, so in this region of the neck, armpits are frequent regions of nitric acanthosis. put a picture here so you can see it better than explaining what the manifestation is But know that these stains can become resistant to insulin number 12 a lot of urine you will drink a lot of water soon you will have to eliminate it and your kidneys will have to eliminate more liquids Because you're going to be drinking a lot of water so wake up pay attention to that it's easier for you to quantify you you didn't wake up during the night now you're in the bathroom two or three times a lot of fluid intake, right ?
