Drowsiness, general weakness, excessive appetite or lack of it, thirst, frequent urination (which is especially noticeable at night), impaired vision, headaches, irritability, leg cramps – all of these symptoms occur in many people a few months after the start of the war.
War is always a long stress, no matter how far you are from the front line today. Chronic stress provokes an increase in blood glucose levels in humans. This happens under the influence of stress hormones – adrenaline and cortisol, therefore the insulin sensitivity worsens. To all of this, another problem is added – the occurrence of type 2 diabetes.
People who have high blood pressure, impaired cerebral blood circulation, excess body weight, are over 45 years old, lead a sedentary lifestyle, experience diagnosed depression and have a hereditary predisposition to the disease are especially prone to this ailment in conditions of life in a state of chronic stress.
If you (or any other person that you know) can relate to what you have just read, these two tips might come in handy. The first one is definitely not to panic. The second one is that you need to schedule a visit to an endocrinologist as soon as possible, because diabetes is a diagnosis that, in the absence of treatment, provokes the occurrence of serious diseases. You probably also have friends who have lost their sight due to diabetes (as diabetes affects the blood vessels in the eyes), or had their feet amputated due to impaired blood circulation, or who became lifelong patients of a nephrologist due to diabetes-induced chronic kidney failure.
Diabetes is one of the most common causes of death – approximately 1.5 million people die from diabetes annually in the world.
The peculiarity of type 2 diabetes is that it occurs gradually, and often people, who have it, do not pay attention to alarming symptoms. Years go by, and the patient believes that these are age-related features of the body and gradually gets used to them. While in the meantime, irreversible changes occur in the body. With timely diagnosis, lifestyle correction and individually selected treatment, it is possible to prevent fatal consequences and improve the quality of life.
