DIABETES SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS As stated before, the body cannot produce insulin, so that the glucose in the blood from digestions cannot get into the cells. The cells cannot burn energy. The glucose stays in the blood. The blood, with too much glucose, becomes thick, eventually confronting a problem that they cannot go through veins, arteries, etc. For example, water can go through much faster and cleaner through a tube than thick honey. This can cause many damage to cells or organs that cannot get any blood supply. Especially, liver damage is common because insulin controls the liver; without it the liver will continue working on, finally spilling the glucose over in urine.

 * There are many effects that shows when having Diabetes, and they are quite distinctive. Therefore, this helps the patients to check with the dotcor immediately.

Here are some other symptoms of a diabetic patient. 1. Patients suffer ultimate thirst all the time because their body constantly needs water to not dehydrate.

2. They also have constant hunger, because no matter how much glucose is in the blood, the cells are not getting them anyway. This causes more and more glucose in the body, unused.

3. The patient suffer weight loss, for the cells in the body has problems burning up the glucose as energy. They burn up fat and protein instead, which causes dramatic weight loss.

4. Ketoacidosis! This is a serious damage when there is too much acid in the bloodstream, making the patients vulnerable to diabetic coma or pass out- at worse, it even causes death. 5. blood vessel damage, the thick sugary blood makes the vessels narrow and thicker, ending blood supply to various cells and small organs. One common problem is the foot. patients might have to get thier lower body amputated because ususally the toes and the foot does not get enough blood supply- and even if they do, the process is very slow. Toes might permanantly die off, then the legs, etc. This is also the same for our eyes- our eyes are a very sensitive organ. In the end, the patients is most likely to have blurry visions, and eventually get blind because the blood cannot get to the thin blood vessels. Kidney and the immune system is also weakened for the same reason.

6. Weakened immune system makes the patient vulnerable to various infections and diseases. || ([|IMAGE CITATION])

Observe how the artery is clogged up, not only creating a high blood pressure but also making it hard for a proper blood flow.
