Symptoms Of Pre-Diabetes, Easy to Miss?

The word pre-diabetes refers to what is going on within you body prior to the time when you actually develop diabetes. type two diabetes is the most prevalent type, and the one we are referring to. Your blood sugar is above normal at this time, but not yet on the level of a diabetic. And, in general, this would be the phase to develop symptoms of pre-diabetes

 

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.

Now, to the next point, some doctors, not all of them, believe that pre-diabetes is actually a phase of diabetes and suggest instituting aggressive treatment the moment it is detected. But since many pre-diabetics do not continue on into diabetes is this approach wise? We have no way of telling which pre-diabetics will eventually become diabetic, and which won't.

Another point, the controversy over the best course to prescribe for an individual with pre-diabetes has not been unsettled either, so you can expect to see scientists pumping out new research in this area.

With no known symptoms of pre-diabetes to warn us we need to take the available actions: first off, compare yourself to the precursors of diabetes: overweight, high blood pressure, junk food junkie, etc. Secondly we can use the official way, and really the only way to know for sure: check our blood sugar to see if it's above normal, but has not reached the diabetic range

If you are pre-diabetic you have managed to miss the bullet so far, but you are near the kill zone. Meaning? If you don't reverse it now, you are going to end up diabetic, and there is no cure for diabetes, and controlling it after it has it's iron grip on you costs an arm and a leg.

To be fair not every pre-diabetic becomes diabetic, but you are playing Russian roulette with your system, you never know who is going to take the bullet.

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.
