Though signs of diabetes in women
and in men are mostly the same, there are a few, which occur only in women.
» Unexplained weight loss is one of the common sign of type 1 diabetes in women. Our body is unable to use all the calories provided by the food we eat, even after following a healthy diet. Get yourself checked if you are losing weight, even after eating properly and are not indulging in strenuous exercise.
» Another symptom that is seen in both types of diabetes is the need to visit the washroom frequently. The human body tries to get rid of excess sugar through urine and hence, one feels the need to urinate often. This happens within short periods, and medically is called Polyuria.
» As excessive urination not only eliminates the extra sugar present in the body, but also large amounts of water, the individual may suffer from the problem of dehydration. Due to this, she may also experience excessive thirst―medically known as Polydipsia―throughout the day.
» One typical sign of type 2 diabetes in women is excessive eating, medically known as Polyphagia. When a person has this type of diabetes, the level of insulin is very high in the body. As insulin aids in stimulating hunger, too much of it may make the person feel unnecessarily hungry, and eventually eat more than required.
» Another symptom of diabetes in women, is the occurrence of skin infections as well as a vaginal yeast infection as diabetes is a condition that helps yeast grow easily. Diabetic women may also experience urinary tract infections frequently.
» Sexual dysfunction is also observed as a common symptom of diabetes in women. It is said that diabetic women may experience pain or discomfort while indulging in sexual intercourse, reduced vaginal sensitivity and vaginal lubrication, as well as an inability to achieve orgasm.
» Apart from these physical symptoms, some psychological symptoms may also be seen in women affected by diabetes. They may experience extreme lethargy, agitation and, sometimes may feel irritable for no reason.
» In case of gestational diabetes, no overt sign may be noticed. However, if a pregnant woman has high blood pressure, there are chances she is suffering from gestational diabetes.
