Here are some Symptoms of Diabetes in Men that you should know:
- Fatigue / Exhaustion
According to studies almost 67 percent of individual with diabetes are feeling dormant even before they are officially diagnosed with Diabetes. The explanation behind this is the high levels of blood sugar which takes over when glucose levels are uncontrolled by insulin. People with normal blood sugar levels tend to be more active and alert.
- Excessive Thirst
Polydipsia is a state wherein an individual always feel thirsty.
- Vertigo
The feeling of vertigo or dizziness is always present on people with diabetes. Diabetes affects the organs as well as our inner ear where the body balance system resides.
- Feeling Irritated
Mood swings are expected to be a constant companion of people who got Diabetes. The reason for this is the low blood sugar levels which make the body and brain un-energized.
- Blurred Eyesight
Eyes contain very tiny blood vessels which is prone to damage when subjected to pressure. Since Diabetes can cause high blood glucose levels it also induces blood vessels to constrict thus damaging the tiny vessels.
- The Desire to Eat More
Diabetes causes the body to hinder proper absorption of blood glucose that stops the insulin from carrying substantial energy to the cells. As an effect of this, the body feels that there is a need to eat and consume more. According to studies, 1 in 10 diabetic people has the urge to eat uncontrollably.
- Numbness of Limbs
Diabetes can also cause nerve damage. Since a Diabetic person always have a high blood sugar, the Body is likely to suffer peripheral neuropathy (damage to the peripheral nervous system). The damage prevents the smooth flow of information from the brain going to the spine. According to studies almost 60 percent of Diabetics have Neuropathy.
- Increased Urination
A person with Diabetes is subjected to frequent washroom trips. Since there are high levels of blood glucose present, the body, tends to throw away the excess amounts of it. Almost 94 percent of Diabetics admitted that they have endured the inconvenience of short interval washroom trips.
- Impotence
This could be a big ordeal in a men’s life. A Diabetic male is likely to experience impotence due to the body’s prevention to release an important chemical which is called “nitric oxide”. Nitric Oxide promotes erections and is responsible for the increase of blood flow in the sexual organ.
