10 Warning Signs of Diabetes
Warning Sign #8: Weight Loss
Losing weight can be seen as a good thing, but if you are losing weight without significant modification in your diet or your exercise routine, then this is something to look into.
Diabetics have a problem getting glucose from the blood into the tissues, therefore as a way to get fuel, they will use other sources of energy. Burning fat reserves and breaking down proteins in the muscles can lead to the weight loss seen in these patients.
