Diabetes Tip #9Pre-Diabetes... Me?The overwhelming truth is yes - many people do have pre-diabetes right now and don't know it. The reason: people with pre-diabetes don't often have symptoms. In fact, millions of people even have diabetes and don't know it because symptoms develop so gradually that people often don't recognize them. And some people have no symptoms at all. Symptoms of diabetes include unusual thirst, a frequent desire to urinate, blurred vision, or a feeling of being tired most of the time for no apparent reason.The good news is that a recent Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) study showed that people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of Type 2 diabetes by changing their diet and engaging in more physical activity. They may even be able to return their blood glucose levels to normal. The Diabetes Prevention Program study also showed that while some medications may delay the onset of diabetes. If you recognize any symptoms, see your primary care physician for the proper tests to determine your diabetic condition. Time is of the essence to reverse pre-diabetes and prevent diabetes from taking hold. |
