Asymptomatic Diabetes | No Symtoms Diabetes
A newly diagnosed diabetic typically presents with characteristic symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, unexpected weight loss or gain, tiredness, hunger, giddiness and blurred vision. These symptoms are present in both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. Type 2 diabetics (also commonly called diabetes two) may also present with an increased frequency of infections especially fungal infections, and poor-healing cuts.
However there is another group of diabetics who have no diabetic symptoms (asymptomatic) . These people with no symtoms diabetes may be diagnosed only when they present with complications of untreated diabetes such as visual problems, heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure. It is thus essential for us to identify those who are asymptomatic or are predisposed to diabetes. A major risk factor is heredity. Persons who have close relatives with the disease have a higher risk of developing it, and the more relatives or the closer the relatives are, the higher the risk. For example, if the mother or father or siblings are diabetic, the chances are higher, and increase if both parents are, or more siblings are.
Other predisposing causes of diabetes are overweight, exposure to continued intake of alcohol, race (native Americans, Africans and Asians being more susceptible), a sedentary lifestyle, and diabetes in pregnancy.
