Classification
In the presence of a connection with other diseases, doctors from the field of endocrinology identified the following types of disease
- secondary, symptomatic development occurs with diseases of the organs of the endocrine structure – the thyroid gland, adrenal glands, pancreas;
- primary, true.
True diabetes in men is divided into:
- insulin-dependent type 1 – is characterized by the fact that the production of insulin by the body may not be carried out at all or hormone secretion is observed in an incomplete volume;
- type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes mellitus – a sufficient or increased concentration of glucose, while the tissues have no sensitivity to it.
The course of the disease, in the following degrees of severity.
- Initial
- Moderate
- Severe
And there are also 3 types of disease, based on compensating for changes in the carbohydrate metabolism.
- Compensated.
- Partially compensated.
- Decompensated.
Symptomatology
Symptoms of diabetes in men will have several differences based on what form of the disease is observed. At the early stage, the clinical symptoms of diabetes in men will be the same.
At the initial stage, there are no manifestations of the disease in patients with diabetes mellitus, and significant malaise by men is attributed to overwork. When some time passes and the sugar reaches a high rate, then the first symptoms of diabetes mellitus develop in men, transmitting as follows:
- increases, decreases in body weight;
- increased desire for food;
- fatigue increases when physical activity is absent;
- tiredness, insomnia;
- itching in the inguinal area;
- perspiration increases.
The first signs of diabetes
The first signs of diabetes do not cause men to suspect diabetes, but when it begins to progress, the manifestations become more pronounced, which initially negatively affects the patient’s health. An acute reaction of the male reproductive system to a disease is noted.
The patient is faced with:
- decreased potency;
- premature eruption of a seed;
- decreased sexual desire.
The insulin-dependent diabetes passes with a pronounced manifestation of signs that develop within two weeks. Separate infectious currents, aggravation of chronic diseases, become a provoking factor.
Characteristic signs of type 1 diabetes
- Feeling of thirst.
- Itchy skin.
- Frequent urination.
- Weight quickly decreases.
- Chronic fatigue.
- Fixed a decrease in performance.
Initially, the symptoms of diabetes in men can be observed with an increased desire to eat, but when the disease progresses, then this sometimes reverses. A characteristic sign of diabetes in men after 40 also manifests itself as:
- the presence and sensation of a specific smell from the oral cavity;
- the patient is sick all the time, vomiting occurs;
- discomfort or pain in the intestines.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes
Basically, the symptoms of type 2 diabetes in men are difficult to see. The diagnosis is often made by accident (when the patient undergoes a routine or unscheduled examination and does a blood analysis). The development of type two diabetes is gradual, over several years.
Of the signs of diabetes in men after 60 years, there are:
- decreased potency, sex drive;
- inflammation of the foreskin;
- enuresis at night;
- feeling of increased fatigue;
- decreased visual acuity.
From external signs distinguish:
- memory impairment;
- hair loss;
- destruction of tooth enamel;
- shaky gait;
- poor wound healing;
- bleeding gums.
Signs of diabetes in men develop ambiguously, and may not alarm, since they are ordinary and common in life.
It is also possible to develop a latent disease, which is dangerous, since the first symptoms of diabetes are not noticed at all. Therefore, you need to know what symptoms a dangerous disease has, to be able to identify them and eliminate the hidden form.
- Dry mouth, thirst. In the summer, this phenomenon is difficult notice.
- Urination increases, urine volume.
- Flaky and itchy skin.
- Dramatically losing or gaining weight.
- Unreasonably manifested aggression, apathy, weakness.
It is important when the disease develops to identify symptoms in men, consult a doctor to prescribe medication treatment and follow proper diet.
