IDENTIFYING THE VERY
FIRST SIGNS OF DIABETES
3
FEELING
HUNGRY
Food is converted into glucose, where insulin enables cells to absorb glucose to use as energy. Low insulin levels or insulin resistance prevent cells from obtaining energy, prompting cells to send a "hunger" message, trying to get more energy into the body
4
Your body isn't getting the energy it needs from the food you're eating, so you may feel exhausted.
5
People with diabetes struggle to regulate their blood glucose levels independently. Persistent high blood sugar can impair circulation, nerves, and the immune system, hindering effective wound healing.
6
When your body can't get energy from your food, it will start burning muscle and fat for energy instead. You may lose weight even though you haven't changed your eating pattern.
WITH PROPER DIABETES CARE,
YOU CAN EXPECT TO LIVE CLOSE TO A NORMAL PERSON'S LIFE
