The Warning Signs of Diabetes!

By admin | January 1, 2020

What Is Type 2 Diabetes and what are the warning signs?

Type 2 diabetes can affect all people, regardless of age. Early symptoms of type 2 diabetes may be missed, so those affected may not even know they have the condition. An estimated one out of every three people within the early stages of type 2 diabetes are not aware they have it.

Diabetes interferes with the body’s ability to metabolize carbohydrates for energy, leading to high levels of blood sugar. These chronically high blood sugar levels increase a person’s risk of developing serious health problems.

Potential Consequences of High Blood Sugar

Nerve problems
Vision loss
Joint deformities
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetic coma (life-threatening)
