Polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, and weight loss are typical symptoms of diabetics.
However, most people only have more drinking, more eating, polyuria in the early stage of diabetes, generally there is no symptom of weight loss, and most diabetic patients are fat, and their weight is only rising, and there is no sign of weight loss at all.
When is a diabetic
Will you lose weight and lose weight?
Weight loss is indeed a significant symptom of diabetics, because diabetics have insulin resistance and insulin relatively or absolutely insufficient, can not convert the glucose in the body into energy for human use, but the body needs energy to maintain the operation of the body, so the fat and protein in the body will be converted, resulting in weight loss, the obvious symptom of wasting.
However, in general, when the obvious symptoms of wasting occur, most of them are diabetes in the later stages of development, and the disease will only appear when the condition is more serious.
So to try to detect diabetes through the obvious symptom of weight loss is obviously unrealistic.
Of course, some sugar friends have weight loss, but also has a lot to do with the situation of medication, especially long-term use of metformin to lower blood sugar friends, weight will continue to decline, which is caused by drugs, and has nothing to do with the condition.
Why early diabetics
Mostly fat?
Drinking more and eating more is not only an early symptom of diabetics, but also because of excessive energy intake, the body can not convert these foods, which is easier to accumulate in the body, resulting in obesity.
Moreover, eating more will increase the burden on the body, resulting in an increase in insulin load, thereby impairing islet function and increasing the chance of diabetes.
This is also why obese people are more likely to develop diabetes.
Diabetics
Is it better to be fat or thinner?
Although wasting is said to be a typical symptom of diabetes in its later stages, it can only be caused when there is no control of blood sugar.
However, if diabetes can be detected early and blood sugar control can be carried out, not only will the commonly used hypoglycemic drug metformin lead to weight loss, but also control diet and exercise will also cause weight loss, and the weight loss caused by these conditions is good, and it will not aggravate the development of the disease.
And diabetics have an obvious indicator of blood sugar control is weight control, especially some early diabetics, if you can reduce your weight through diet and exercise, it is possible to reduce blood sugar levels to normal.
So in this regard, diabetics are definitely under weight control, and it would be better to lose weight.
However, if you find that the recent weight loss is obvious, and sleep is not good, dark circles are heavy, easy to be hungry, etc., you need to pay attention to detecting blood sugar levels, it may be a spike in blood sugar in the body, caused by aggravation of the disease, the weight loss in this situation is not good, we must be vigilant.
Diabetics are getting fatter
Is the condition not well controlled?
Some diabetic patients not only did not lose weight after treatment, but also had aggravation, which actually did not mean that the disease worsened.
Because there are many hypoglycemic drugs, such as insulin for injection, insulin sensitizers, etc., there are side effects of weight gain after use, resulting in weight gain in diabetic patients.
Therefore, the condition of diabetic patients should not be measured by weight, but should be analyzed by monitoring blood glucose values and glycosylated hemoglobin.
