The five signs of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, include: Excessive Thirst, Frequent Urination, Fatigue and Lethargy, Blurry Vision and Slow Wound Healing In this video, Igor, the author of the bestselling book "Type 2 Diabetes Reversal Secrets" and founder of Fitness Solutions Plus, provides valuable insights into recognizing high blood sugar and discusses lifestyle solutions for managing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Igor outlines five common symptoms of elevated blood sugar, including excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurry vision, and slow wound healing. He emphasizes the importance of early detection through these signs and suggests objective tools like C-peptide testing to confirm a diagnosis. Igor also shares lifestyle interventions, such as dietary changes, targeted exercises for diabetes, and stress management practices, to help prevent and manage high blood sugar effectively. The video encourages viewers to adopt a balanced lifestyle for overall well-being and highlights the significance of monitoring blood sugar levels and seeking professional guidance. Summary: The five signs of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, include: Excessive Thirst (Polydipsia): Increased thirst is a common symptom of elevated blood sugar levels. Drinking more water helps dilute sugar and lower blood sugar. Frequent Urination (Polyuria): High blood sugar causes the kidneys to filter more sugar out of the blood, leading to increased urine production. This can result in frequent urination, even at night (nocturia). Fatigue and Lethargy: Since glucose is a primary energy source for cells, insulin resistance prevents glucose from entering cells, leading to low energy levels and fatigue. Blurry Vision: Fluctuations in blood sugar, especially consistently high levels, can affect the lens of the eye, causing temporary blurry vision. This condition is known as hyperglycemia-induced myopia or nearsightedness. Slow Wound Healing: High blood sugar levels and insulin resistance can lead to slow wound healing. Glycation, the binding of sugar molecules to proteins, can decrease blood flow to the skin, impairing the healing process.
