Early symptoms of diabetes, ignoring this can be really dangerous! 😨

Honestly... I used to think, "Isn't diabetes something only older people worry about?"
However, starting from a certain day, I kept feeling thirsty even just by drinking water, and even after eating, I still felt hungry. 🤔

At that time, I found out through research that it was an early symptom of diabetes.

 

 

✅ I have summarized the typical early symptoms of diabetes.

 

Not all diabetics experience symptoms, but when blood sugar levels rise above 200-250 mg/dL
It is said that symptoms like the following diabetes symptoms may appear:

 

- Next: Keep feeling thirsty
- Polyuria: frequent urination with large volume
- Dasi: I kept eating because I was hungry.
- Weight loss: Losing weight despite eating a lot
- Fatigue, blurred vision, leg numbness, dry mouth, etc.

 

Among these, the next one and the dashi were really severe for me 😥

 

 

 

What are the normal blood sugar levels and management methods for diabetes?

 

Fasting blood sugar: 70~99 mg/dL
Post-meal 2-hour blood sugar: ideally less than 140 mg/dL

 

Even if your blood sugar is high, you may not have symptoms, so regular check-ups are really important!
And it was very helpful to focus on a diet centered around foods that are good for diabetes.

 

 

🍽 Diabetes diet tips (things that really helped)

 

1. Reduce refined carbohydrates (replace white rice and sugar with whole grains, sweet potatoes, etc.)
2. Adequate protein intake (recommend tofu, fish, chicken breast!)
3. Nuts or yogurt instead of snacks
4. Choose fruits with a low glycemic index (such as apples, blueberries, etc.)

 

 

 

 

Early symptoms of diabetes: If you just think "I've been tired lately, maybe that's why~" and ignore it, it could really be a big problem 😣
Especially if there is a family history of diabetes or irregular eating habits, be sure to get checked once!

 

Please share if you have experienced any effects from the diabetic diet!!
