Type 2 Diabetes is a common chronic and progressive disease with slow onset,
which leads to the difficulties on estimating the date of its onset. Generally,
there are not any obvious symptoms for the light case, however, for the severe
case and the one accompanied by complications, the symptoms are clear and
typical. So, what are the common clinical symptoms for Type 2 Diabetes?
1. Diuresis, Polydipsia: Owing to the increase in Urine Osmotic Pressure and
the reduce in reabsorption by kidney tubules, the volume of urine often
increase. For the patients who have a more frequency in the desire to urinate,
the number of their urinating could even reach 20 times per day. So, the
frequent get-ups at night influence their sleep a lot. Besides the frequent
micturitions, the overall output for urination often exceeds 2-3L, even reach
10L. As a result of frequent micturition and loss of water, there are an
increase in the volume and frequency of drinking for the patients, which are in
proportion to such factors as blood glucose concentration, the urine volume and
the loss of sugar; when there are insufficiency in insulin and ketoacidosis, the
reabsorption to dodion and potassium ion could become more difficult. And, the
increase in urine could make the blood plasma concentration and thus influence
the osmotic pressure and even lead to such severe results as hyperosmolar coma
etc.
2.Boulimia and Polyphagia: Since the sugars could not be used fully, together
with the secretion of insulin stimulated by hyperglycemia, the patients’
appetite often has the presentation of hyperfunction and often has the tendency
of feeling hungry. So, their staple food could sometimes reach 0.5-1 kilogram
and the mount of dishes could be more than twice as much as that of a normal
person, even so, these patients could not be met. Yet, sometimes their appetite
could have a sudden drop, for that, we should pay attention to such symptoms as
infection, heat, acidosis .or the complications of ketosis etc. In clinical,
diuresis, drinking more and feeding more are also called “Trio-more
Symptoms”
3. Fatigues(Fatigue and Kidney Disease), Loss of Weight and Weakness: Owing to the reasons of metabolism
disorders, the reduce in the use of energy, negative nitrogen balance and the
loss of water and electrolyte, all of which situations would be worse if there
is ketosis, the patients would feel weak and tired, especially to the child
patients of Type 1 and severe patients of Type 2, who would lose their weight
obviously as far as 5 kilos and their strengths are very weak. The long-term
bout of disease for the child patients would make their growth restrained with
hypermicrosoma, yellow complexion and hair’s less sheen and also a weak
strength, while, for the middleaged patients of Type 2 with light symptoms,
their fat is always caused by feeding more.
4. Skin Pruritis: Such case is often seen in the part of pudendum of women,
which is caused by the stimulation from urine sugar. Sometimes complications of
colpomycosis such as candida albicans would make pruritis worse, which is often
accompanied by secretions such as leucorrhea. Moreover, the pruritis of overall
body could also be resulted by dry skin when the water is lost.
5. Other Symptoms: They include sore in arms and legs, numb, lumbago,
hypaphrodisia, impotence and infertility, menstrual disorder, constipation and
visual disturbance etc. Sometimes there is intractable diarrhea with 2-3 or 5-6
times of stool per day and the stool shape of thin paste. Such cases generally
belong to the type of functional diarrhea instead of the inflammatory diarrhea
and the diarrhea is possibly connected with the disturbance of vegetative nerve
function. The severe nerve syImmunotherapy diseases also include such symptoms
as orthostatic hypotension, sweating and gatism, many of which are caused by
complications.
The above are the basic introductions of clinical symptoms for Type 2
Diabetes. The experts suggest that, if those symptoms occur, try to seek a
treatment so as not to miss the best time.
