Diagnosing diabetes can be tricky as symptoms often develop gradually and may be mistaken for other ailments. Not everyone with diabetes will experience noticeable symptoms, and in some cases, symptoms may not appear at all.
Diabetes occurs when the body's ability to respond to insulin is impaired. Insulin is crucial for helping glucose enter cells for energy. Excess glucose in the blood leads to high blood sugar levels, causing glucose to spill into the urine, resulting in frequent urination?"one of the classic symptoms of diabetes.
Elevated glucose levels can leave cells starved for energy, potentially damaging nerves, kidneys, eyes, blood vessels, and the heart. When blood sugar levels drop too low, the pancreas releases a hormone called glucagon, prompting the liver and muscles to convert stored glycogen back into glucose.
Diagnosing Diabetes Symptoms
The diagnosis timeline varies based on how long and severely blood sugar levels have been elevated. Type 2 diabetes is often diagnosed more slowly than type 1, where symptoms can become apparent within weeks or months. Early symptoms can be subtle and progress gradually.
