Early diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and its treatment is very important. Typically the course of diabetes is chronic but without early treatment, chances of developing complications early is significant. Diabetes treatment is a lifetime affair but if managed and followed well, there is little or no deterioration in the quality of life for a long period. Principles of treatment of Diabetes Mellitus :- 1) Control of hyperglycemia and related symptoms. 2) Reduce or eliminate the complications 3) Allow the patient to achieve a normal lifestyle.

We discussed in our previous post about  what exactly is Diabetes? So now lets discuss what are the main signs and symptoms of  Diabetes Mellitus . How does it manifest? We know it causes derangement in sugar levels of the body. Sugar, principally  Glucose  is the main source of energy for our body. But both increased glucose ( Hyperglycemia ) and decreased glucose ( Hypoglycemia ) levels in blood are harmful to many organs.  In Diabetes, lack of insulin causes hyperglycemia responsible for most of the signs and symptoms. Hypoglycemia occurs in Diabetics due to medications and inappropriate dietary habits.
