Depending on the type of diabetes, it may take weeks, months or even years before you notice the symptoms of the disease. Type 1 diabetes symptoms appear earlier, but it can take several years for type 2 diabetes symptoms to appear.
Here are some unusual signs that may indicate the development of diabetes.
-
periodontitis. This is a specific gum disease, characterized by the removal of the gum from the tooth. As a result, the teeth may wobble or fall out. It is known that this problem is seen 2-3 times more frequently in diabetic patients than in healthy people. Moreover, this disease in them progresses faster and is often more severe. All this is due to the presence of chronic inflammation in the body.
-
change in skin appearance. In other words, you can develop skin diseases. These include black (brown) acanthosis (skin hyperpigmentation), limited scleroderma (thickening and thickening of skin areas; usually on the back of the hand, less often on the forehead, fingers, feet), eruptive xanthomatosis (hard yellow nodules that resemble peas), common in men with type 1 diabetes ), diabetic bullosis (blisters) (similar to blisters from burns, but usually do not hurt), diabetic lipoid necrobiosis (skin ulcers).
-
Frequent incidence of infections. This refers to bacterial infections. For example, inflammation of the skin around the nail plate or hair follicles, the formation of barley and boils, fungal infections.
-
decreased visual acuity. Excess sugar can damage the small blood vessels in the eye and cause blurred vision. If this is left untreated, vision begins to decrease further and dark spots or lines, floating spots appear in the person’s eyes.
-
Hearing loss. Diabetes mellitus doubles your chances of having it. This is because the nerves in the ear are damaged.
-
nocturnal urinary incontinence. This is seen in children. A similar disease is called nocturnal enuresis and is considered one of the manifestations of type 1 diabetes. In addition, with frequent urination, the feeling of hunger and thirst increases and body weight is lost.
