Hunger and fatigue: Our body changes the food into glucose used by the cells
for energy. But our body cells need insulin to take in glucose. If the body
does not make insulin or the cells refuse the insulin our body produces, the
glucose fails to get into them, and we have no energy. It can make us tired and
hungrier than usual.
Feeling thirstier than usual and peeing more often: An average person
usually urinate between four to seven times a day, but people who have diabetes
do it more often than usual. Usually, the body reabsorbs glucose as it leaves
through our kidneys, but when diabetes pushes up the blood sugar level, the
kidneys may not bring it all back in. And it causes the body to urinate more.
Because of consistent urination, our body lacks fluid and makes us very
thirsty.
Dry mouth and itchy skin: Since our body is using maximum fluids to make
pee, there is less moisture left for other things. We may get dehydration, and
our mouth can feel dry. Due to dry skin, we may feel itchiness.
