| Are you among 7 million Americans who do not know that they have diabetes? |
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recently informed that more than 30 million Americans now have diabetes, and more than 7 million of them have not been properly diagnosed.
And uncontrolled diabetes will eventually get along with you.
The sooner you get the diagnosis, the more likely it is that you will be able to stop complications developed as a result of high blood glucose levels for a long time.
These complications include retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy.
While the CDC report does not distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, most of them uncontrolled cases come in type 2 category for two reasons.
The first thing is that according to the CDC report, in all cases of diabetes, 90 to 95 percent of cases are two.
The second thing is that type 1 diabetes is an autonomous form of this condition which develops rapidly within a few weeks, and not for years. Sign and symptoms come quickly.
For months or even for a few weeks ignoring those symptoms can lead to coma or even death.
Symptoms of type 2 diabetes can gradually develop for many years, which means that it is easy to ignore them.
Prior to his diagnosis 20 years ago, Baker said that he had easily rejected warning signs.
Symptoms and symptoms of diabetes
Here are the symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes reported by the American Diabetes Association.
People with unchecked diabetes will usually show many of these symptoms at the same time.
However, if you are worried then ask your doctor to test your urine for your blood sugar, HbA1c, and Ketone.
Both types 1 and type 2 diabetes can exhibit these symptoms:
- ~ Serious thirst
- ~ frequent urination
- ~ Severe fatigue
- ~ Irritability
- ~ Hungry increased
- ~ Blurred vision
- ~ yeast infection
- ~ Sour or odor smelling breath and fast weight loss are common with type 1 diabetes.
Other common symptoms of diabetes are:
- ~ Slow healing of cuts, injuries, or blisters
- ~ Tingling sensation in the arm, leg, or toe
- ~ Sleeps after meals
Symptoms of diabetes can be easily mistaken for lining flu - especially in children with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes - so if you see any combination of the above symptoms, then your doctor will give your (or your baby) blood sugar and urine It is important to consult the examination. .For people with potentially uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, it is easy to get the test.
What can be your risk
According to the CDC report, if your ethnicity is Alaska, Native American, African-American or Hispanic, then you have a big risk of developing type 2 diabetes.In addition, men make more than half of diabetic population.
In addition, less than half of the diagnosis are between the ages of 45 and 64 years, but you can develop type 1 or type 2 diabetes at almost any age.
While type 1 was considered as a childhood development and type 2 was thought to be developed once in old age, both types of diseases can develop in people of all ages.
The location of the largest population of type 2 diabetes cases is also clear.
The Southern U.S. region of Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, and Georgia as well as Puerto Rico lead the list.
Do not be afraid of diagnosis
"Diabetes is not a death sentence,". "Well controlled diabetes means that you are healthy with the average American because you eat less junk and more real food."Uncontrolled or uncontrolled diabetes is a guarantee of serious health problems.
You can ignore type 2 diabetes before long time to add high blood glucose levels to your body.
