Do You Have Symptoms Of Pre-Diabetes without knowing it?
Pre, means before something, and pre-diabetes means what is happening prior to the time you get diabetes. And, of course, we are speaking of type two diabetes, the most prevalent type. This is the time when your blood sugar is above normal, but not yet on the level of a diabetic. If any symptoms of pre-diabetes were to emerge, this would be the time for it.
Can an elevated blood sugar level generate any pre-diabetic symptoms? Let’s take a closer look at pre or borderline diabetes and see. You would think the best advice for anyone at this time would be to stay alert for any symptoms, and have your blood sugar checked immediately if any symptom appears.
Now, here’s the first point that may amaze you: officially there are NO symptoms of prediabetes. You heard me – none. You could be in your chair reading this and all the time succumbing to diabetes as each hour passed.
Another point. There is a great deal of disagreement among doctors about how to react to the discovery of pre-diabetes. Some doctors are satisfied to keep an eye on things while others believe that pre-diabetes is the first stage of diabetes, and aggressive treatment is called for from the moment it is detected. What to do about it is still open since we have no way of knowing which pre-diabetics will eventually become diabetic and which won’t.
My next point comes down to this, because the controversy over the best course to prescribe for an individual with pre-diabetes is unsettled you can expect to see much more new research in this area.
What can we do about our worries if there are no symptoms of pre-diabetes to warn us. Two things are available. We can review the list to precursors of diabetes to see if we fit: overweight, high blood pressure, junk food junkie, etc, or we can use the official way to determine it, check your blood sugar to see if it’s above normal, but still below the diabetic range.
Say you are pre-diabetic, that makes you more vulnerable to becoming diabetic than the average person. That means If you don’t act to reverse it now, you are going to be a diabetic, a condition for which there is no cure, and a condition that, once it gets it’s iron grip on you will cost you a leg or two.
Pre-diabetics do not all become diabetic, it is correct to say, but ignoring the worst out come possibilities is a gamble. You never know whether or not you’ve won your bet until it’s too late.
Even though there are no symptoms of pre-diabetes to alert you, if you are overweight or have a history in the family of diabetes, then see you doctor periodically for a blood test.
