DIABETES SYMPTOMS

Diabetes symptoms occur when blood sugar levels are too high. Common Symptoms • Increased thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria), especially at night, as your kidneys work to clear extra sugar. • Persistent fatigue and weakness because your cells cannot use glucose for energy. • Unexplained weight loss, which is more common in type 1 diabetes when the body breaks down fat and muscle for energy. • Increased hunger (polyphagia) even after eating. • Blurred vision caused by high blood sugar pulling fluid from the lenses of your eyes. • Slow-healing sores or frequent cuts and wounds. • Frequent infections, such as skin, gum, or vaginal yeast infections and urinary tract infections. • Tingling or numbness in the hands or feet (signs of nerve damage or neuropathy). • Darkened skin patches (acanthosis nigricans) on the neck, armpits, or groin, often signaling insulin resistance. Differences by Type • Type 1 Diabetes: Symptoms usually develop quickly over a few days or weeks and are more severe, sometimes including nausea, vomiting, or stomach pains. • Type 2 Diabetes: Symptoms develop slowly over years or may not appear at all in the early stages or during prediabetes. • Gestational Diabetes: Often has no noticeable symptoms and is typically found through routine screening during pregnancy (between 24 and 28 weeks).

Forbidden of drugs in Islam

All recreational drugs, narcotics, and intoxicating substances are haram (forbidden) in Islam. The Core Ruling • All Intoxicants Are Unlawful: The Prophet Muhammad stated, "Every intoxicant is haram" (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim). • Extending to Drugs: Islamic scholars (Ijma) apply the prohibition of khamr (alcohol/intoxicants) to any substance that befogs, numbs, or impairs the mind and reason, including cannabis (bhang), cocaine, ecstasy, opioids, and other narcotics. • Protection of the Mind (Aql): Preserving human reason and health is one of the foundational objectives of Islamic law (Maqasid al-Shari'ah). Anything that destroys the intellect or body is strictly prohibited. Qur'anic and Hadith Evidence • Surah al-Ma'idah (5:90): "O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone altars [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful". • Comprehensive Prohibition: A Hadith recorded by Ahmad and Abu Dawood notes that the Prophet prohibited "anything which makes a person drunk or feeble (or causes numbness to the brain)". Exceptions • Medical Necessity (Darurah): Using a restricted or controlled substance is only permissible if prescribed by a qualified physician for a valid medical emergency or severe necessity where no lawful alternative exists. Trading or producing these substances is similarly restricted outside of regulated medical or scientific purposes Wallahualam.
