Type 1 diabetes symptoms may appear harmless
Type 1 diabetes symptoms may not seem worth worrying about at first. They can also come on suddenly and very severely. They usually appear and advance quickly over a period of a few weeks or months, and as a result they are quickly diagnosed. Some of the more common type 1 diabetes symptoms include:
What are the causes of diabetes?
What is the cause of diabetes? This varies from one type of the disease to another. Questions still abound as to exactly why some people get diabetes and others don't. While it may be some time before all the questions about it are answered, some things are generally considered to be true. Risk factors play a large role. People who eat properly and get regular exercise are generally more healthy and tend to develop fewer risk factors like obesity and high blood pressure. Genetic factors however are beyond our control.
The risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Carrying too many additional pounds is a top risk factor for type 2 diabetes. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the accepted measure for ascertaining body weight in relation to the general health for most individuals (pregnant women, athletes, body builders excluded) in the 20 to 65 age group. A BMI exceeding 27 typically means a risk for type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes symptoms: Are you at risk?
The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be extremely hard to recognize because there are actually very few of them, and the ones that you may experience are minor, and as a result the disease gets worse. They might in the beginning appear to be of no harm. One might think that they are just the result of being over weight or getting older.
