Diabetes will always involve insulin. Normally, people have the insulin hormone to control the level of your blood glucose. It will act as a key for glucose to enter the cell and the cell will be able to produce the energy. If the glucose level is too much, then insulin will promote the glucose to form a glycogen, a form to store glucose to be used later when your body does not get enough food. So insulin will always keep the level of glucose at a normal level 60 to 100 milligram/deciliter all the time.

When your body cannot provide a sufficient amount of insulin, the glucose level will start to rise. When your glucose reaches the level of 180 milligram/deciliter, your glucose will start to contaminate the urine and create sweet urine. When your body starts to lose glucose through urine your body will begin to experience many short-term complications of diabetes. You may have the following symptoms which is a common symptom that will occur in the early of diabetes disease:

Frequent urination and thirst: The spilled glucose in the urine will draw more water from your blood. Because of this, you will feel the need to urinate more frequent than usual. And because the water in your body is drained faster than usual you will feel thirsty and drink much more frequently.

Blurry vision: The increasing level of glucose will affect the intake water in your eye lens. The water will cause the lens to swell and make your eyes hard to focus, causing the blurry vision.

Extreme hunger: Since the insulin cannot work properly in allowing glucose to enter the cell in order to create energy, your body will feel hunger all the time despite all the glucose that is floating in blood stream. This condition is called “Starvation in the midst of plenty“.

Fatigue: If the glucose cannot enter the muscle cell to produce energy, then your body will suffer a fatigue. Your body will back stronger after the treatment that allows glucose to enter the cells again.

Weight loss: This symptom occurs in some people with diabetes. Because they lack the insulin, which one of its role is as a builder hormone, their body will start to lose some muscle tissue. Their body need glucose to produce energy, but because the insulin unable to allow the blood glucose to enter the cell your body start to converting muscle into glucose.

Persistent vaginal infection among women: Since the level of blood glucose is highly increases, every fluid in your body will contain higher level of glucose including the fluid in vaginal area. This high level of glucose situation will create a comfortable environment for bacteria to breed and will causing an itching or burning or sometimes an odor in that vaginal area.

Those are the common early symptoms of diabetes disease. However some study revealed that in a group of 15,000 people that has diabetes 44 percent did not have the above symptoms in the previous year when the study was conducted. So it is not a surprise if a third of people with diabetes do not know that they are carrying diabetes.
