cose levels can directly lead to fatigue.
Second, high blood glucose levels
can damage the blood vessels of the
kidneys so that they don’t work as
well. When the kidneys don’t filter
the blood as well as they should,
waste products can build up in the
bloodstream. Typically,  kidney dis-
ease causes no symptoms, but fatigue
can be a symptom of kidney disease.
The earlier diabetic kidney disease is
diagnosed, the better it can be treated
by controlling blood glucose levels
and blood pressure. Specific blood
pressure medications called ACE
inhibitors and ARBs have been shown
to be especially effective at slowing
down the progression of diabetic
kidney disease.


  1. Chest pain
    Chest pain can be another sign of
    underlying diabetes. People with
    diabetes have a higher risk of heart
    disease than those without diabetes.
    One symptom of heart disease is
    angina, which is chest pain or dis-


comfort because the heart muscle
isn’t getting enough oxygen-rich
blood. Angina may also feel like
tightness or pressure in the chest
and can also occur in the shoulder,
arms, neck, jaw or back. It may also
be mistaken for heartburn. Medica-
tions called nitrates, which relax and
widen blood vessels to the heart, may
be used to treat angina. The under-
lying heart disease may be treated
with lifestyle changes, such as stop-
ping smoking, eating a  healthier
diet and controlling blood glucose
levels, as well as medications that
lower blood pressure and choles-
terol levels.


  1. Erectile dysfunction
    Erectile dysfunction, the inability to
    achieve an erection firm enough for
    sexual intercourse, is not only vexing
    but can also be a sign of diabetes.
    Chronically high blood glucose levels
    from diabetes can damage the nerves
    and blood vessels that make an erec-
    tion possible. Once the problem is


diagnosed, you can treat it with better
diabetes control, medications and
various devices.


  1. Gum disease and bad breath
    When diabetes is not well controlled,
    the resulting high blood glucose levels
    promote the growth of harmful bac-
    teria. These bacteria help to form a
    sticky film called plaque, which can
    cause tooth decay, cavities, gum dis-
    ease  and bad breath. Gum disease
    (gingivitis) can progress to periodon-
    titis, in which the gums pull away from
    the teeth and form pockets that can
    become infected. Periodontitis can
    eventually break down the bone and
    tissue that hold teeth in place, which
    can lead to tooth loss. You can treat
    gum disease by controlling diabetes,
    practicing good oral hygiene (regular
    brushing and flossing) and regular
    visits to the dentist for deep cleaning.
    If you experience any of these
    signs or symptoms, whether or not
    you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes,
    be sure to seek medical attention. †
