Pre-Diabetes
For
most of Type 2 diabetics the pre-diabetes stage has gone and past,
maybe the T2diabetes warning wasn't diagnosed in time, but that's
life. Those diagnosed early enough are lucky and given a second
chance to take action to reduce the sugar in their diet so T2diabetes
does not develop into full blown type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes is the 7th
Top killer in the USA, and the leading cause of blindness,macular
degeneration,diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma and a dozen more
serious health problems associated with those who have diabetes.
Diabetes
develops very gradually, so with the pre-diabetes stage— your blood
glucose level is creeping higher than it should —you may not have
any symptoms you recognize.
However, think about if you have noticed the following:
- you
have to go to the bathroom more frequently
- you
feel the need to go with urgency
- you
feel more fatigued or weary a little more is usual
- you
feel you need more to drink more frequently than you used to drink.
All
of the above are typical symptoms associated with diabetes, so if
you’re in the early stages of diabetes,you may notice some of them
and then you have the opportunity to take action to halt the rise in
your sugar levels so you don't get full blown diabetes.

When
you have diabetes, your HbA1c level should be tested quiet regularly
at least every 6 months by your doctor or nurse. This test measures
your recent average blood sugar (glucose) level over about the last
3 months.
- Because
it is an average measurement over a period of time you do not need
to fast on the day of the test. This test measures a part of the red
blood cells over a period. Glucose in the blood attaches to part of
the red blood cells.
- This
part can be measured and gives an accurate good indication of your
average blood glucose over the previous 3 months.Diabetes
develops very gradually over a long time, so when you’re in the
pre-diabetes stage,this is when your blood glucose level has risen
to a level that is higher than normal you may not have any symptoms
that indicate your sugar level is beyond the normal level at all.

- T2diabetes
does not develop into full blown type 2 diabetes overnight it takes years to develop. If your blood sugar levels
are diagnosed higher than the normal levels early enough you are pre-diabetic. Lucky to be given a
second chance to take action to reduce the sugar in their diet, so
that T2diabetes does not develop into full blown type 2 diabetes.
