The warning signs of Diabetes are as follows:
Frequent thrist
Frequent urination
Feeling hungry even after a meal
Possible weight loss
Fatigue
Abdominal pain
Nausea
and/or Vomiting
Other possible symptoms are as follows:
Blurry vision
Slow healing sores
Cramps on numbness in the legs, feet or fingers
Dry mouth
Nervousness
and/or Dry, itchy skin
If you have any of these symptoms, especially if you have a blood relative or relatives who have or had diabetes, arrange with your doctor for a minimum 8 hour fasting blood test to test your blood glucose (sugar) level. If the reading is 126 or higher and you have symptoms, especially the first set of symptoms, you most likely have developed diabetes or your doctor may wish to give you further testing to determine if you have diabetes.
About 90% of diabetics are Type II (Type 2) and do not, at least at first, need to take insulin. Rather a Type 2 takes medication because that type of diabetes is usually insulin resistant. The section of your pancreas that produces insulin still produces it, but the insulin no longer works or does not work as well as it should.
