Diabetes is a condition where your blood glucose level, also known as blood sugar level, is too high.
糖尿病是一种你血液中葡萄糖量(又称血糖量)过高的症状。
There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2.
糖尿病主要有两种类型:一型和二型。
There are also some rarer types, but they're all serious and can be diagnosed by your GP.
还有一些较罕见的类型,但它们的较严重,且可被你的医师诊断出来。
The signs and symptoms you need to look out for are:
你需要留意的征兆和症状有:
Weeing often, because your body will be trying to lower your blood sugar levels by flushing out the extra sugar in your blood.
频尿,因为你的身体会尝试透过排出血液当中多余的糖分来降低血糖值。
This can lead to other symptoms, including feeling really thirsty or genital itching and thrush.
这可能导致其它症状,包括极度口渴或是生殖器发痒、感染。
This can happen if your wee contains a lot of sugar from your blood because it can create an environment for fungal infections.
这可能发生在你的尿液当中含有许多来自你血液的糖分,因为那可能创造真菌感染的环境。
You may also feel tired because the sugar in your blood can't get into your cells to turn into energy.
你可能也会感到疲倦,因为血液当中的糖分无法进入你的细胞中以转换为能量。
This could lead to your body trying to break down its fat stores instead.
这可能导致你的身体改而尝试分解储存的脂肪。
So, you might find that you are losing weight without really trying to.
所以你可能发现自己在没有尝试的状况下,体重就降低了。
Wounds might also take longer to heal because high blood sugar levels can limit nutrients and oxygen from getting to your wound.
伤口可能会需要更多时间才能愈合,因为高血糖值也可能限制传送到伤口的养分和氧气。
And your eyesight might be blurry as blood sugar can build up, making it harder to see.
你的视力可能也会变得模糊,因为血糖可能会堆积,使得你更难以看清楚东西。
With Type 1 diabetes, the symptoms can be more obvious and develop much quicker, over a few days or weeks.
一型糖尿病的症状可能会更明显且更快速地发展,有时只需几天或数周。
With Type 2 diabetes, the symptoms can develop much slower, and some people may not have any symptoms.
而二型糖尿病的症状的发展可能缓慢得多,有些人可能甚至不会有任何症状。
This is why some people can live with Type 2 for years without realizing they have it.
这就是为什么有些人可以在没发现自己罹患病症的状况下,多年与二型糖尿病共处。
If you do notice any of the symptoms, contact your GP straight away.
如果你有发现任何一个症状,请立即跟你的医生联络。
Getting diagnosed can be the first step to getting treatment and support so that you can find ways to live well with diabetes as soon as possible.
接受诊断可能是获得治疗和支援的第一步,让你可以尽快找到与糖尿病共存的好方法。
