What are symptoms of Diabetes?!
Question: 3 Ps classic symptoms:
P1: Polyuria =urinate/pee a lot
P2: Polydipsia= drink alot
P3: Polyphagia = Eat a lot
People suffering from diabetes often find that thay need to go to bath room to urinate a lot and a lot.
Hypoglycemia (hypo=low) = Low blood glucose sign and symptoms:
- Chills
Dizziness
Shaking
Sweating
Hungry
=>similar to when you're VERY hungry.
Hyperglycimia (hyper =high) : high blood glucose signs and symptoms:
-3 Ps
If blood glucose is >300 (more than 300), then these additional signs and symptoms:
- Fruity or sweet breath smells (like apple juice)
Weakness
Loose consciousness or become comatose (=coma)
Ketones in urine and blood
Our body organs need insulin ( a substance produced by the pancreas right below chest) to bring glucose (sugar converted from food by the body) inside each organ.
Those with diabetes cannot or do not produce enough insulin, causing a higher than normal glucose in blood stream. Even though they have high blood glucose, the body cannot use it because not enough insulin to bring those glucose into the organs to function, that's why:
Polydipsia: they need to drink a lot of fluid to liquify the blood or to reduce the blood glucose.
Polyuria: the body tries to get rid of the excessive glucose.
Polyphagia: the body signals for need of glucose from foods because the body organs are hungry for glucose.
Ketone acidosis occurs when the blood glucose >300.
Ketone is the break down of fat. Because carbohydrate is glucose but not able to be used, the body break down fat to enter the organs. Fat when broken down does not need insulin to enter organs.
