First and foremost, Diabetes runs in the blood!. So if any of your parents, relatives have it, then there's a chance that you will have it too--if not now, then in the future!.

In order for you to know if you have Diabetes or not, certain tests are performed!. We can take a (1) Random Blood Sugar test!. In this test, you have to determine your blood glucose level at any time of day using a device that measures glucose in the blood (ex: Glucometer)!. To do this, one of your fingers is pricked and the blood sample is placed into the strip of the Glucometer and in just seconds you will get the result!. The normal blood glucose level is 70-120 mg/dl!.

another test is (2) Fasting Blood Sugar!. In this test you have a fasting for 6-8 hours (no food/water/any beverage), and after the fasting you get your sugar level using the Glucometer!. The same is the normal value for this!.

If your result is consistently above normal, then you do have Diabetes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well I got it in 2000!. I had alot of sugar in my blood at the time!. I was under alot of stress and I think that made it very bad!. At the time I was going to the restroom every 30 Min or so!. I had to go even if I was in a car!. I really needed to go as if I were going to wet my pants!. My vision became blurry!. i could not read a speed limit sign or stop sign!. I was having problems seeing peoples faces!. I was drinking lots of liquids!. Including Sunkist, which of course has alot of sugar, I just keep on drinking it!. I thought I was loosing weight because I was drinking so much, little did I know it was the diabetes!. Now I eat 3 meals a day and stay away from sugars and try to walk some for exercise!. I really should check my blood sugar but dont that much!. I guess if I start to go blind again I will know its time to go back to the Dr!. I dont take any meds but probably should!. I did right after I got it!. Drs check blood sugar levels if they think you have diabetes!. They can see with test what your blood sugar has been for the past 3 months!. If your blood sugar is like 90- 100 on the meter great!. If it is 300 like mine was or 600 like some the watch out!. Type 1 is usually the most serious and usually what children get!. Type 2 is usually in adults!. I read that if you have a brown/dark ring/strip on the back of your neck this can be a sign of the disease!. I do not know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You tend to be thirsty all of the time!. You pee a lot more than usual!. You also feel really tired all of the time!. Sometimes you just don't feel like eating any more, and you get confused!. Even if you're not sure, go to the doctor and have your blood tested!. Normal range is 80-120!. When I became diabetic my blood glucose was over 900! Www@Answer-Health@Com
