00:00Today, we're going to talk about the morning signs of diabetes, an immensely important
00:06topic for everyone striving to maintain and improve their health.
00:12Today we'll explore not just the warning signs, but also the physiological conditions
00:17behind them, the risk factors and the action steps you can take.
00:22So let's dive right into it.
00:24To start, we first need to discuss the early morning signs that you need to be on the lookout
00:29for.
00:30One common symptom is excessive thirst, medically known as polydipsia.
00:36When your blood sugar levels are elevated, your kidneys diligently work to filter out
00:41that excessive glucose, leading to dehydration.
00:44This results in a constant feeling of thirst and frequent urination, known as polyuria.
00:50The body's increased effort to expel sugar through the urine not only dehydrates you,
00:55but also leads to further electrolyte imbalances.
00:59You might also notice a significant amount of hunger, or what we call polyphagia.
01:06Your body struggles to utilize the sugars it's absorbing.
01:10Without adequate insulin or effective insulin action, glucose remains in the bloodstream
01:15instead of entering the cells where it is needed for energy.
01:19And feeling unusually fatigued is also another critical symptom.
01:22This exhaustion occurs because your body isn't able to efficiently convert the available
01:27glucose into energy, and as a result, your cells feel starved, leading to reduction to
01:34overall energy and productivity.
01:36But you may also experience blurred vision in the morning, and this happens when high
01:41blood sugar levels cause fatigue.
