Since November is Diabetes Awareness month, here at http://DoctorsExpressHartsdale.com, we encourage you to educate yourselves on the warning signs diabetes. Diabetes is an epidemic that affects more and more people each year. In the U.S alone, over 25 million people suffer from diabetes, and it is estimated that of those 25 million, approximately half of them are completely unaware of their condition. On average, a person with the disease dies 10 to 15 years sooner than a person without diabetes.

If detected and treated in the early stages, diabetes can be managed. A considerable portion of treatment of diabetes involves minor changes in daily routines. Lifestyle changes such as eating well, exercising, not smoking, and limited alcohol consumption, can all help to control the effects of diabetes. Typically, in addition to a healthier lifestyle, an oral medication in necessary in order to control the body’s insulin levels.

If you notice that you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed below, we advise that you consult your doctor about diabetes screening. Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent the symptoms from manifesting into more serious, sometimes life threatening, medical complications

7 Warning Signs of Type 2 Diabetes:
Blurry vision
unexplained weight loss
incessant thirst
increased urination
nerve pain or numbness in hands and or feet
constant hunger
cuts and infections

If not managed early on, complications may include: severe kidney problems potentially leading to renal failure and the need for dialysis, premature heart attacks or strokes, cuts and infections that can lead to amputation, or serious nerve damage that can also lead to the amputation of the affected limb.

Again, we are currently in the middle of Diabetes Awareness Month. If you find yourself experiencing any of the symptoms previously mentioned or you have reason to suspect you might have type 2 diabetes, we urge that you come see us at Doctors express or go see your primary doctor where you can be screened usually with an A1C test.

Dr. Jorge Busse, Nephrologist with Baptist Health South Florida, explains if you are diagnosed with diabetes, it is not urgent to be referred to a nephrologist: “Most of the time the kidneys initially will not be affected and usually the primary care physician will determine whether you need referral to a nephrologist or not”.

He says there are symptoms that can be attributed to diabetes, for example, with high sugars you end up with frequent urination that results in being a little dehydrated; that is why thirst is a major issue in type 1. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The video of the Diabetes Information Service at Helmholtz Zentrum München and the German Centre for Diabetes Research explains in a short and understandable way the role of autoantibodies as markers for early detection and describes vaccination studies and other approaches for the early treatment of type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.

A blood test can show if you have diabetes. Exercise, weight control and sticking to your meal plan can help control your diabetes. You should also monitor your glucose level and take medicine if prescribed.
