A: Symptoms Prediabetes is most often a silent condition with no symptoms. But certain risk factors, such as obesity or lack of exercise, may put you at a higher risk of developing prediabetes. If you have any of the risk factors for prediabetes—which are similar to the risk factors for type 2 diabetes—ask your doctor whether you should be tested. What Happens Being diagnosed with prediabetes is a warning sign that you are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. Each year about 4% to 9% of people with prediabetes go on to develop type 2 diabetes.1 Although you may still be healthy, moderate and persistent elevated blood sugar levels greatly increase your risk for getting diabetes and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease. Compared to people with normal blood sugar levels, people with prediabetes have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease, such as heart attackor stroke.2 If you have been diagnosed with prediabetes, you are also at higher risk for eye, nerve, and kidney disease. For more information on these complications, see the topic Type 2 Diabetes: Living With Complications. You can help prevent or delay the start of type 2 diabetes by doing all of the following: ■Limit the amount of fat you eat. ■Limit the calories you eat. ■Limit sweets. ■Lose weight. ■Add more activity to your life. These healthy habits can also lower your risk of complications. For more information, see the Treatment Overview section of this topic. What Increases Your Risk The risk factors for prediabetes are similar to the risk factors for type 2 diabetes. Most people who get type 2 diabetes had prediabetes firs Tin

A: Here are some symptoms of type 2 diabetes: * Increased thirst and frequent urination. As excess sugar builds up in your bloodstream, fluid is pulled from your tissues. This may leave you thirsty. As a result, you may drink and urinate more than usual. * Extreme hunger. Without enough insulin to move sugar into your cells, your muscles and organs become depleted of energy. This triggers intense hunger that may persist even after you eat. * Weight loss. Despite eating more than usual to relieve your constant hunger, you may lose weight. Without the energy sugar supplies, your muscle tissues and fat stores may simply shrink. * Fatigue. If your cells are deprived of sugar, you may become tired and irritable. * Blurred vision. If your blood sugar level is too high, fluid may be pulled from your tissues — including the lenses of your eyes. This may affect your ability to focus. * Slow-healing sores or frequent infections. Type 2 diabetes affects your ability to heal and fight infections. Bladder and vaginal infections can be a particular problem for women. If your mother is a diabetic it does increase your chances of getting it. Make a appointment with your GP to have your sugar levels checked. Good Luck!

Q: Am I experience pre-diabetes symptoms?
This may sound like a totally stupid question because I know virtually nothing about diabetes, but I'm a 28 year old female and I've been experiencing some very strange things and I'm wondering if it's got anything to do with my insulin levels. Anyone in the know, please give me some insight. 1. Sudden headache and painful stomach that hits within 30 min. of eating carbohydrates (from white/wheat pasta, breads, potatoes, corn, baked goods like donuts, etc.). I call it the "Carbo rush." And it is NOT pleasant. 2. Feelings of extreme and uncomfortable restlessness followed by bouts of fatigue so badly that even espresso doesn't help (actually, that just causes the restlessness which is worse than the fatigue) 3. Intense cravings for donuts, chocolate, sugary cereals, cookies, cake - anything high in fat and sugar. Cravings so bad that I often find myself eating six donuts in twenty minutes and waking up several time a night to pig out on these foods. Any ideas?

A: Your abdominal problems sounds more like a wheat or gluten allergy or Celiac's Disease, which is really common. Research the topic, go on 3 day wheat free diet and see what happens.

Q: PRE-DIABETES....SYMPTOMS ANY??? PERSONAL STORIES PLEASE.....ETC.?


A: I recently was diagonised as having insulin resistance & metabolic disorder, which is a pre-diabetic condition. Im 27yo F. My fasting and non-fasting blood sugar levels are within the normal range, however, a Glucose tolerence test, my insulin levels skyrocketed during at the 1st hr and 2nd hr tests. My symptoms that made the dr send me for the test were: - fatigue, especially after lunch - difficulty losing weight - always hungry (if I ate a large meal, I would feel full but then half an hour later I was hungry again) Id been sent many times in the past for blood sugar tests and they always came back normal. I started seeing a new GP and she picked this up the first time I saw her. The treatment has been: taking a diabetic medication, at a low level, after breakfast and dinner, and sticking to a low GI diet. both have helped a lot. I also cut out a lot of caffeine as it can cause the liver to reject insulin. ( I was drinking about two - three coffees and about 1L of coke zero in a day - now I have one coffee or one can of coke zero). I also started drinking more water - as I wasnt really drinking any in a day - maybe 1 glass. These things all helped. I have lost about 8kgs and I feel a lot better. Changing the way you eat is the most important way to stop being pre-diabetic. *** That is pre-type 2 diabetes. I dont think you can be considered pre-diabetic with type 1, as it is not triggered by lifestyle as far as I know **

Q: What Are the Symptoms Of Pre-Diabetes?


A: Hunger, Increased urinary frequency (going to the restroom a lot), Decreased energy, Frequent thirst, Weight loss, Frequent infections Basically, the same symptoms you would have if you were diabetic, but just to a lesser degree. However, many people claim to have none of these symptoms at the time of their diagnosis, so it really varies.

Q: What are the symptoms of pre-diabetes?
I do not want medical book answers I want personal experiences.

A: Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "pre-diabetes" -- blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. There are 41 million people in the United States, ages 40 to 74, who have pre-diabetes. Recent research has shown that some long-term damage to the body, especially the heart and circulatory system, may already be occurring during pre-diabetes. Research has also shown that if you take action to manage your blood glucose when you have pre-diabetes, you can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes from ever developing. Together with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the American Diabetes Association published a Position Statement on "The Prevention or Delay of Type 2 Diabetes" to help guide health care professionals in treating their patients with pre-diabetes. There is a lot you can do yourself to know your risks for pre-diabetes and to take action to prevent diabetes if you have, or are at risk for, pre-diabetes. The American Diabetes Association has a wealth of resources for people with diabetes. People with pre-diabetes can expect to benefit from much of the same advice for good nutrition and physical activity. The links on this page are cornerstones of successful management of pre-diabetes.

Q: Are there any symptoms for pre-diabetes?
My blood glucose was a little high during a health screening (non-fasting), but not in the diabetes range. My urine smells sweet, though, and I'm wondering if I might have full-blown diabetes because of this symptom? Don't worry - I already have an appointment to see my doctor. I'm just impatient and wanted to know. Just to clarify - I'm not smelling and definitely not tasting my urine. I can smell it after I pee without sticking my head near the toilet.

A: There may or may not be, it's important to know that not everyone experiences symptoms. The glucose being a little high may be the result of a meal you had eaten. What is important is that your smart enough to make an appointment with your doctor to find out. Oh, by the way , the smelling or tasting of urine is no longer used to identify diabetes.......That's been discontinued for the last 600 years. Good luck on your test

Q: what are the symptoms of pre diabetes?


A: Hi: Symptoms of pre-diabetes may be silent. But when you begin having signs of it, there are things like: Tiredness Unquenchable Thirst Possible weight loss Frequent urination Hunger Slow healing sores Bladder infections (multiple ones) If you are having any of these symptoms, or a few of them, I would advise a blood sugar check. Fasting over 100 is pre-diabetic, and 126 or greater fasting is considered diabetic after checking it twice fasting.

Q: Any physical symptoms with pre-diabetes????


A: Sometimes, but some people go thru their lives not knowing what to look for or they get them confused with other diseases. Excessive thirst Excessive peeing Moodiness Feeling sluggish or tired all the time Shaky feeling if missed food or excessive sugar intake

Q: Does this sounds like symptoms of diabetes? Should i tell my mom to get tested? help. [[[repost]]]?
The symptoms i am experiencing are: *Thirst...lots of water *Frequent urination (haha :P) *Headaches *Weight loss. I have lost almost 20 pounds in a month and a half. *Drowsiness/Weakness [the weakness doesnt occur as much though] I am 14, will be 15 soon. I am 5' 4'', and about a month and a half ago i weighed about 137. I now weigh 116 and a half. I went through a depression stage, and also stress. I have read on a website that stress/depression can help to "trigger" (for lack of a better word) the start of diabetes (is it called 'pre-diabetes'?). These symptoms have been going on for about...4-6 days. I don't know what else it could be, since i am no doctor. I know that no one on Y!A could fully give me the right answer (=]) but i am looking for opinions. I have never thought about asking either of my parents about family history, so i have no idea if diabetes could be in my genetics or whatnot. I am completely nervous about bringing up the subject to my mom. I dont want her to make-fun of me, or laugh. So...any opinions here? Laurie--are you mad?! I don't do that. You might, but i don't.

A: Diabetes is certainly a possibility with those symptoms. You need to be seen by a doctor. I am an RN.

Q: Could this be Pre-Diabetes ?
When I go pee the urine is foamy and has bubbles like if you have a bath with bubbles it is more bubbles than foamy and I don't know why.. Well it does brake down and if I go to the bathroom alot there seems to be less or hardly at all and I don't know if it is drinking water or flushing out water ever is building up. I don't have the diabetes of thirsty ,drinking lots ,frequent urination ,strong hunger ,fatigue ,loss of weight, slow-healing sores, dry and itchy skin, numbness or tingling in your feet ,headache ,back pain , sores . In fact some days I drink 4 or 5 drinks in a 24 hour and go to the bathroom to pee 3 or 4 times in a 24 hour and eat 2 times in a 24 hour. But I do not have diabetes the diabetes symptoms above but could this be pre-diabetes I have that lead to diabetes ? I can't do a urine test because foamy and bubbles brake down so by the time the doctor look at it it is all gone. I thought excess protein ,crystalline or infection like urinary tract infections do not brake down ? Well it is more bubbly than foamy but the problem is it brakes down so it will not show up on a urine test unless they can do the test under 4 minutes If I drink alot it seems to be less bubbly and foamy and some times hardly at all bubbly and foamy .But I do not know if that is do to drinking or I'm going to the bathroom alot and it is not building up do to going to the bathroom. They say you should drink 8 glasses of water a day and eat at leat 3 or 4 times a day and if I'm not doing it that may be a problem. I thought excess protein ,crystalline or infection do not beake down ? They say kidney disease may be pre-Diabetes ?Anyone here had this problem before you got diabetes ?

A: There are some main symptoms of Diabetes.If you are facing these too problems them it may be you are victim of this disease. Increased fatigue Weight fluctuation Blurry vision Irritability Infections Poor wound healing Increase in urine production increased hunger if these are also with you immediately consult your doctor.

Q: Ok...could I have pre-diabetes?? Should I be concerned?
Ok well I have been having most every symptom of diabetes. Except for the rapid weight loss. The other day I had checked my blood sugar after about an hour of eating a piece of candy and chocolate milk. I was babysitting a kid with diabetes so I figured why not check mine. it was 135. Which I thought was good because he told me it was. Lately I have been having more symptoms and so I was looking around here and the internet and I saw someone saying he was diagnosed with pre-diabetes because his was 130. Could I be pre-diabetic? I can't see my doctor because I dont know if my mom would take me. maybe she would if I told her about the possibility of being pre-diabetic but I have already told her of my symptoms. So do you think I could be pre-diabetic?

A: If someone's blood sugar was 130 first thing in the morning after not eating for 10 or more hours, that would be cause for concern and possibly require him/her to get more tests to see if he/she was prediabetic or full-blown diabetic. If you check blood sugar an hour after eating something and it's 135, that's not abnormal. If you are having all those symptoms, go get checked out by a physician. They will run some blood tests, then you will know for sure.
