Type 2 diabetes is not the same thing as pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, or borderline diabetes, is a condition where the body either slows down insulin production or cannot correctly utilize insulin. Blood sugars are slightly elevated at times without taking any oral medication. This is usually associated with obesity and can usually be corrected with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can become type 2 diabetes, which is basically a more severe form of pre-diabetes. With type 2, high blood sugars are usually treated with oral medication, or insulin injections if necessary. Your body does not produce enough insulin, nor does it use it correctly. This differs from type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all.
Sadly, many patients who have been diagnosed with diabetes either can't or won't focus on fulfilling an effective treatment plan. Negligence on the part of diabetes sufferers can lead to illness, amputations and even death. Those who have failed to take their diabetes seriously can recommit themselves to a more diligent care program for the future. Diabetes patients should memorize and learn several dozen easy to make diabetes recipes. By taking control of their diet, diabetes patients can ensure a better future for both themselves and society at large. After all, insolvent diabetes patients create a financial burden for society.
Diabetes screening is a test in which is done to see if you are one of the people to have diabetes , it is usually done by fasting blood test or oral glucose tolerance test, and or a random plasma glucose test can all help to determine if you have diabetes.
