Are you aware of the early signs of type II diabetes?

Dr Jonathan Wright of Nutrition & Healing always stresses the fact that you CAN solve whatever that’s making you ill by looking at your body. And this statement certainly applies when it comes to type II diabetes.

So what are the tell-tale signs of onset type II diabetes?

Here’s how to find out if you have type II diabetes

Health website Thirdage.com recommends you look for the following:
 

• Increased thirst and frequent urination. The website explains that as excess sugar builds up in your bloodstream, fluid is pulled from your tissues. This may leave you thirsty. As a result, you may drink and urinate more than usual.
• Increased hunger. Without enough insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscles and organs become depleted of energy. This triggers intense hunger.
• Weight loss. Despite eating more than usual to relieve hunger, you may lose weight. Without the ability to use glucose, your body uses alternative fuels stored in muscle and fat. Calories are lost as excess glucose is released in the urine.
• Fatigue. If your cells are deprived of sugar, you may become tired and irritable.
• Blurred vision. If your blood sugar is too high, fluid may be pulled from the lenses of your eyes. This may affect your ability to focus clearly.
• Slow-healing sores or frequent infections. Type II diabetes affects your ability to heal and resist infections.
• Areas of darkened skin. Some people with type II diabetes have patches of dark, velvety skin in the folds and creases of their bodies usually in the armpits and neck. This condition is called acanthosis nigricans. It may be a sign of insulin resistance.

If you notice any of these signs, consult your doctor so he can rule out the possibility of type II diabetes. In addition, here are the three simple life changes that could help you prevent or delay the onset of type II diabetes.
