How diabetes sign and symptoms occurs

Diabetes  means there is high glucose-level in the blood, then the body system tries to normalize it by many ways which causes diabetes signs.

Frequent urination
Hormonal system commends the kidney to remove unwanted excess glucose in blood, in turn causes the diabetes sign of frequent urination. Kidney does filtering just as micro filters; so it not only filter glucose, but also other mineral that are in the same size range such as sodium and potassium salts.

Heavy thirst
Hormonal system instructs to dilute the blood just to bring back normal glucose-level. So large amount of liquid is used up to dilute the blood, also due to frequent urination causes dehydration, which inturn induces the diabetes symptom of heavy thirst.

Low energy
Due to low or no insulin or improper utilization of insulin, the body is not able to utilize the glucose available in the blood. Also the kidney removes the excess glucose (to normalize the level) and other necessary salts from the body which is needed for the energy. So the body has low energy level and thus causes the diabetes sign of too much tired even after enough foods.

Blurred vision
If there is low energy in the body then naturally the eye cannot able to get enough nutrients, so the vision becomes dull causing the of temporary diabetes symptom of blurred vision.

Hunger than usual
Due to removal of minerals, the body feel tired (dehydrated) thus hormonal system stimulates the digestive system and induces diabetes sign of unusual hunger just to bring back necessary energy to the body system.

Sudden weight loss
The food is digested, but not properly utilized and sent out as waste. So there is no storage of food inside the body and also the body is not nourished by the necessary nutrients.  That causes the diabetes symptoms of sudden weight loss.

Dry and itching skin
Glucose is necessary to nourish the skin, but improper utilization or shortage or no insulin, the skin is not able to get the needed nutrient. Thus the skin causes the diabetes signs of dry & itching skin.

Sores heals slowly
As said before the skin is not able to get enough nutrient, thus maintaining the healthy skin itself is difficult thus dryness, also it become very difficult to heal any sores (skin damage need repair) in the skin. Also Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs), which derive from bone marrow, normally travel to injuried sites and are essential for the formation of blood vessels and wound healing. Many studies confirm that, the circulation of EPCs are low in diabetics, thus diabetes symptom of slow healing sores.

Losing sense or tingling in feet
Blood vessels and nerves need “glucose-D” to maintain its health and normal function. Due to diabetes, blood vessels and nerves do not able to get enough nutrient to nourish it. Thus nerves normal functioning is affected causing the diabetes sign of lose of sense or tingling in the extremities.
