Are you planning on living a long and healthy life? A life free of aches and pains? A life full of excitement and
adventure? Great, then understanding the odds of developing diabetes will surely cause you to take immediate action.
It is estimated that one in three Americans born in the year 2000 will develop diabetes. Those are terrifying odds.
Already, more than 18 million Americans live with diabetes and that number is growing. What is even more alarming is
the fact that 5 million people don't even know they have diabetes.
A new buzz in the medical community calls it- Pre-Diabetes. Today, roughly 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes which left undetected and untreated, progresses into full-blown diabetes.
The challenge with pre-diabetes is the fact that the condition doesn't like to reveal itself with noticeable symptoms. Because there are few, if any symptoms, most people will not bother having screening tests performed. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst and urination may not occur until the disease has progressed
and is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because the onset of diabetes is so slow.
Don't gamble with your health. The odds of developing diabetes are stacked against you.
The goal with identifying pre-diabetes is to prevent the onset of diabetes from ever happening.
Your physician can determine if you have pre-diabetes with two common tests. The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Both require an overnight fast.
The good news is that you can greatly improve your odds and likely prevent diabetes with early detection and proper care.
Don't wait 'til it hurts. Ask your doctor about diabetes and have your blood sugar checked several times a year.
