Diabetes is very common and can affect just about anyone and of any age. The best thing for you to do would be to visit a doctor to find out about your own normal blood glucose levels and to see if you are at risk for developing type two diabetes. Your doctor is probably going to want to do a glucose tolerance test to see what your sugar and insulin levels are like and this is going to be what determines if you have type two diabetes and will need treatment for it.
A blood glucose monitore is used by diabetics to help monitor and control their blood glucose levels. You can find helpful information by visiting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_glucose_monitoring.
Any of the manufacturers of blood glucose testers will provide a free unit. These include One Touch, Bayer and CCS.
If your body doesn't take the glucose from the blood into the cells by using insulin, the glucose will be lost in the urine. Since you need glucose for your cells to survive, you need the insulin. If no insulin is produced or too little is, you are a diabetic and have to take some form of artificial insulin.
No. The only test for diabetes is to test your blood. If you are in a diabetic coma, then they need to check your pulse to see part of your condition. The test for Diabetes is the HbA1c test which tests the amount of sugar that is attached to your blood cells. Anything above 7% is considered to be diabetes. It is a simple test and you can buy a test kit for this for about $9 from Walmart. Most of the diabetics strive to control blood sugar below 6%. The next and most common test is to test the current blood glucose, using a glucose meter. A fasting, not eating for 12 hours, level above 90 is considered to be questionable. Most diabetes when they find they are diabetic are in the 200 or above milligrams of glucose per deciliter.
