With regard to diabetes, according to the statistics of the American diabetes Association, the probability of complications for diabetes patients with more than three years is more than 46%; The probability of occurrence over 5 years is over 61%; The probability of occurrence over 10 years is as high as 98%.
It can be seen that the incidence of complications of diabetes gradually increases with the prolongation of the course of disease. What are the symptoms of early diabetes? The relevant knowledge is introduced as follows!

What are the symptoms of early diabetes?
1. Oral stickiness: Oral stickiness is caused by damp heat in the spleen and stomach, and patients with damp heat type thirst often have oral stickiness as a precursor.
2. Dry mouth: One of the premonitory symptoms and also a precursor symptom.
3. Hyperlibido: When the typical symptoms of diabetes appear, the patient is prone to develop impotence
4. Frequent boils and sores: Before the typical symptoms appear, the patient often has a stubborn history of boils and sores.
5. Obesity: weight gain is a signal before the onset of diabetes, but the weight gradually turns to emaciation after the onset.
6. Unexplained physical fatigue: physical fatigue is an extremely important signal of diabetes. 7. Cloudy urine: Cloudy urine during urination may be a precursor symptom.
8. Early cataracts: If cataracts occur in middle age, and vision is impaired, and there is no effect after treatment, it should be noted that there may be potential diabetes.
9. Accompanying symptoms: Diabetes patients often have symptoms such as high blood lipids and arteriosclerosis.
10. Susceptibility to infection: diabetes patients are prone to infection, including skin infection, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, etc.
What are the complications of diabetes?
1. diabetes nephropathy: generally starts from abnormal glomerular filtration function, and gradually develops to albuminuria, renal insufficiency, uremia, and diabetes patients with more than 10 years of high incidence.
2. Eye complications of diabetes: including diabetes retinopathy, cataract, and uveitis related to diabetes, which can cause blindness from the decline of vision.
3. diabetes foot: starting from the abnormal sensation of the limbs, the symptoms are sock like sensation of the feet, pain, numbness, and coldness, which gradually develop to tingling of the extremities, deformation of the feet, smelly and difficult to heal wounds of the feet, deformed ulcers, and black toes. In serious cases, amputation is required.
4. diabetes neuropathy: The most common complication in the early stage is neuropathy, which is mainly manifested in abnormal limb sensation. There are abnormalities in proprioception, position sense, vibration sense and temperature sense at the distal end of the limbs. For example, the limbs have the feeling of stepping on cotton wool, ants, electric shock, and the hands and feet have the feeling of wearing gloves and socks. In serious cases, it can cause arthritis or ulcers of the lower limbs, and there will be tingling, burning, and severe pain, which will generally be progressive aggravation.
5. cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications of diabetes: in the early stage, it may only be manifested as tachycardia, hypotension, arrhythmia, etc., and then it may develop into serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, such as cardiogenic shock, myocardial infarction, coronary heart disease, heart failure, cerebral infarction, etc., or even sudden death. Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications are the main cause of death in patients with diabetes.
What about blurred eyes in diabetes? There are many reasons for blurry eyes, such as visual fatigue, various eye diseases that affect vision, etc. If the vague symptoms persist and do not improve, it is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for a detailed examination and choose one's own method of treatment. The blurred eyes may be caused by the obstruction of the central retinal vein. If pregnant women suffer from diseases such as increased blood viscosity, cervical spondylosis, diabetes, glaucoma, and omental vasculitis, they will feel the rapid decline of vision, and the dark shadow in front of them will block the eyes and become floating, resulting in blurred eyes. Inflammation is the most common cause of blurred eyes, including keratitis, corneal ulcers, iridocyclitis, choroiditis, endophthalmitis, panoculitis, orbital cellulitis, etc. caused by bacteria, viruses, chlamydia, fungi, parasites, etc. Therefore, diabetes patients need to know their own condition clearly and make a good diagnosis of their own diabetes. We must not wait until diabetes is serious or when some diabetes causes complications before we know to pay attention. Finally, we wish diabetes patients an early recovery.
