Millions of Americans who suffer with diabetes are simply not aware they have the disease. Having said that, many of these people are aware that something is wrong and are in denial of diabetes signs and symptoms. This article will consider the signs, symptoms and denial of diabetes.
Thirsty, Dry and Tired
One day you noticed it; just seemed to stand out. You felt a bit irritated because you have to urinate, again. Its nothing major, you tell yourself; but you did just make a trip to the washroom and now you have to go again.
You tell yourself it must be all the water you've been drinking lately. Your mouth has been dry and you noticed your legs have looked dry and chapped. A little moisturizing lotion seemed to do the trick; but no denying that thirst and those frequent washroom trips.
You've never had a weight problem, but you did notice that you've been hungry a lot. Now that you think about it, you've eaten more food this month than you ever have.
On top of that, tiredness has overtaken you. Never one to be left behind or slower than the others, it has become noticeable that you are a bit sluggish.
Denial of Diabetes
Overtime, the individual signs and symptoms point to the fact that something is amiss. However, denial begins to rear its ugly head. Arrested by the rising tide of self-denial; reasonable and logical thinking becomes impotent, stagnant.

One would be correct to guess that the internal instinct of self-preservation would halt the onrushing waves of self-denial, but not so.
With the onset of each complication and the subsequent notice of the complication, you bury your head deeper into the sands of self-denial. Frequent washroom trips are rationalized by the fact that you've been drinking more water. Ever think why?
We're all logical thinkers. Our thoughts move from start to finish; from premise to conclusion; but self-denial is strong, overwhelming.
We're passionate people. Sometimes those passions flood our thinking fires. Logical thought would clearly point to potential disease issues; but self-denial gets in the way.
To take positive action and remedy your complications is discarded in favor of self-destruction.
