Warning Signs

Imagine your body is trying to tell you something important. It’s sending out distress signals, but are you listening? Common signs of type 1 diabetes include:

• Peeing like a racehorse: Finding yourself dashing to the bathroom more often than usual? This could be your body’s desperate attempt to flush out excess sugar.
• Quenching that Unstoppable Thirst: Drinking gallons of water but still feeling parched? Your body is crying out for hydration to combat the sugar overload.
• Dropping Pounds Without Trying: Shedding weight without hitting the gym or changing your diet? This could be your body’s ineffective use of energy due to a lack of insulin.
• Hangry All the Time: Feeling ravenous even after a big meal? Your cells are starving for energy, and your body sends out hunger pangs.
• Blurry Vision: If the world starts looking like a Salvador Dali painting, it might be your blood sugar playing tricks on your eyes.
• Feeling Like a Zombie: Extreme fatigue can indicate that your body struggles to function without enough energy.
• Slow-Healing Wounds: Cuts and scrapes taking forever to heal? Your immune system might be compromised due to high blood sugar.
• Frequent Infections: Catching colds and flu more often than usual? Your body’s defenses might be weakened.
