Symptoms of diabetes

Diabetes symptoms depend on how high your blood sugar is. Some people, especially if they have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes,may not have symptoms. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms tend to come on quickly and be more severe.

Some of the symptoms of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are:

Feeling more thirty than usual

Urinating often

Losing weight without trying

Presence of ketones in the urine. Ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough available insulin.

Feeling tyred and weak

Feeling irrable or having mood changes

Having blurry vision

Having slow healing sores

Getting a lot of infections such as gum skin and vaginal infections

What is prostate cancer?

The prostate is a small walnut shaped gland in the pelvis of men. It is located next to the bladder and can be examined by getting a digital re**al exam.

Prostate cancer cells can spread by breaking away from a prostate tumor. They can travel through blood vessels or lymph nodes to reach other parts of the body. After spreading cancer cells may attach to other tissues and grow to form new tumors causing damage where it lands.

Mental Health Quotes

The advice i'd give to somebody that's silently struggling is: you don't have to live that way. You don't have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition,as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it's really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need. - Demi Levato

What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat.

Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy. Sometimes your body doesn't make enough_ or _ insulin or doesn't use insulin well. Glucose then stays in your blood and doesn't reach your cells.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. Although diabetes has no cute, you can take steps to manage your diabetes and stay healthy.

What are the different types of diabetes?

The most common types of diabetes are type 1,type 2.

Type 1dianetes

If you have type 1diabetes,your body does not make insulin. Your immune system attacks and destroys the cells in your pancreas that make insulin. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in children and young adults,although it can appear at any age. People with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day to stay alive.

Type 2 diabetes

If you have type 2 diabetes,your body does not make or use insulin well. You can develop type 2 diabetes at any age, even during childhood. However, this type of diabetes occurs most often in middle aged and older people. Type 2 is the most common type of diabetes.
