Symptoms Of Pre-Diabetes, Easy To Miss If You’re Not Looking?

Pre, means before something, and pre-diabetes means what is happening prior to the time you get diabetes. And, of course, we are speaking of type two diabetes, the most prevalent type. This is the time when your blood sugar is above normal, but not yet on the level of a diabetic. If any symptoms of pre-diabetes were to emerge, this would be the time for it.
Does this elevated blood sugar produce any pre-diabetic symptoms? That’s what we’ll look at during this brief discussion of Pre or borderline diabetes. The best advice would be to stay alert for any symptoms and have your blood sugar checked immediately.
The first point that I’m going to make here might shock you: officially there are NO symptoms listed for pre-diabetes. None, you heard correctly. You could be setting there reading this thinking it’s not going to get you, and be succumbing to diabetes moment by moment
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.
What can we do about our worries if there are no symptoms of pre-diabetes to warn us. Two things are available. We can review the list to precursors of diabetes to see if we fit: overweight, high blood pressure, junk food junkie, etc, or we can use the official way to determine it, check your blood sugar to see if it’s above normal, but still below the diabetic range.
Say you are pre-diabetic, that makes you more vulnerable to becoming diabetic than the average person. That means If you don’t act to reverse it now, you are going to be a diabetic, a condition for which there is no cure, and a condition that, once it gets it’s iron grip on you will cost you a leg or two.
Pre-diabetics do not all become diabetic, it is correct to say, but ignoring the worst out come possibilities is a gamble. You never know whether or not you’ve won your bet until it’s too late.
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.
