Diabetes Warning Signs

Yessi Pratiwi — November 13, 2008 / 8:33 pm

Nowadays, 24 million Americans have diabetes, but another estimated 5 million, or more, don’t even know that they have the disease. How can it be? Because they don’t know the signs! So, why don’t we look out at the warning signs? Because, if not detected early, the disease can be fatal or result in serious damage. Yet diabetes is often completely overlooked: it is often misdiagnosed as the flu or it is not diagnosed at all.

These are among diabetes signs:diabetes.jpg

  • Frequent urination
  • Excessive thirst
  • Increased hunger
  • Weight loss
  • Tiredness
  • Lack of interest and concentration
  • Blurred vision
  • Vomiting and stomach pain (often mistaken as the flu)

When you feel like having the signs, pre-diabetes testing is recommended. The main tests are the fasting plasma glucose test and the oral glucose tolerance test, although even a random plasma glucose test may be helpful.

The most important is : people with diabetes should be proactive and ask their health care providers about their blood sugar levels and the risk factors associated with diabetes.
