Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease. It is characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes affects 9.3 percent of the population (about 29.1 million people) in the US, while another 86 million Americans have prediabetes and don't know it.
This type of diabetes commonly develops slowly over time. Most people with diabetes are obese or overweight when they are diagnosed. Increased fat makes it harder for the human body to use insulin the correct way.
Long-term uncontrolled glycemia levels can ultimately lead to severe complications, such as - kidney damage, nerve damage, skin problems, hearing impairment, heart disease, and eye damage.
The signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes mellitus due to high blood sugar may include:
#1 Blurred vision - when blood sugar levels are high, fluid is pulled from the lenses in the eyes, affecting their capacity to focus.
#2 Wounds that won't heal - type 2 diabetes mellitus slows recovery time from wounds. Therefore, patients with this conditions take longer to heal because blood circulation is poor and they may also have other nutritional deficits.
#3 Increased susceptibility to infections, especially fungal or yeast infections.
#4 Increased thirst - excess sugar building up in your bloodstream causes fluid to be pulled from the tissues. This may leave you thirsty.
#5 Numbness or tingling of the feet or hands due to a high blood glucose levels which damage the nerves and blood vessels in the legs, arms, hands, and feet.
#6 Increased hunger, also known as polyphagia, is an early warning sign of type diabetes. The human body uses the sugar in the blood to feed the cells. When the cells can’t absorb sugar properly, the body looks for more sources of fuel, causing persistent hunger.
#7 Itching around your vagina or penis - sugar makes a fertile breeding ground for harmful bacteria, and it is a buildup of bacteria around the genitals which cause the itching.
#8 Dry mouth - the precise reasons are unknown, but high glycemic levels could cause dry mouth in patients with type 2 diabetes.
#9 Unexplained weight loss - insufficient insulin forces the body to start burning muscle and fat for energy. This causes weight loss.
#10 Fatigue - since your muscle cells are resisting insulin, they are not getting fed the glucose from your blood supply. It makes you tired.
Note - If you have any of these signs and symptoms, it is vital to contact your health-care provider right away.
