Understanding Diabetes

According to research by The National Diabetes Statistics Report in 2020, it was gathered that as of 2018, around 34.2 million Americans, or 10.5% of the population, had diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels due to the body's incapacity to make or utilize the hormone insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. Your cells absorb sugar (glucose) from the blood and store it or use it as the major source of energy. Should this not work properly, you might become diabetic.

Our team of professionals at Macie Medical, a clinic in Houston TX, is committed to providing patients in Houston with complete diabetes care and treatment.

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

Diabetes symptoms vary depending on blood sugar levels. Some individuals, especially those with prediabetes, gestational diabetes, or type 2 diabetes, might not exhibit any symptoms. In contrast, type 1 diabetes symptoms typically appear rapidly and are more intense.

Common symptoms of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes include:

  • Increased thirst.
  • Constant urination.
  • Unintentional weight loss.
  • Fatigue and weakness.
  • Irritability or mood changes.
  • Blurry vision.
  • Slow-healing sores.
  • Frequent infections, such as those affecting the gums, skin, and vagina.

What complications can unmanaged diabetes cause?

When diabetes is not properly managed, it can lead to serious complications that affect various parts of the body. Chronic high blood sugar levels can also have negative impacts on the arteries and veins and can also cause cardiovascular disease and stroke. It may also lead to chances of heart attacks and high blood pressure in people with weaker immunity. Prolonged diabetes, however, might lead to nerve damage, referred to as diabetic neuropathy, which is a condition causing feelings of numbness, tingling as well as pain in the hands and feet of affected individuals.

Furthermore, because of this increased strain, the kidneys can suffer from damage and develop conditions such as kidney disease and kidney failure. Vision can also be affected by diabetic retinopathy which is a disease that results from high blood sugar, which affects the eyes blood vessels and may cause blindness.

Visit Macie Medical, Houston, TX for proper management of diabetes to prevent these complications and maintain overall health. Likewise, routine check-ups at our clinic can help monitor your condition and prevent these serious outcomes.
