You can be
diagnosed with pre-diabetes before you actually get diabetes. In pre-diabetes you have
higher than normal blood sugars but they are not at the level that they would
need to be
in order to be considered diabetic. If
you are obese or severely overweight and pre-diabetic
there are steps you can take to put off the actual diagnosis of diabetes or prevent
it.
The same
test is used for pre-diabetes as it is for diabetes. Once you find out that you have
pre-diabetes you can make a plan with your doctor to prevent the onset of the
disease. By losing weight and either adding or
increasing your level of physical activity you can
delay diabetes for quite sometime. There
have been people who have gone on to
maintain a
healthy weight through diet and exercise and have remained in the pre-diabetic
phase for their lives.
If you are
not able to get down to your goal weight, just losing a small amount can be beneficial. It takes an additional strain off of your
body by lessening the need of the amount of
insulin that is produced. There are many
other benefits that you will also get by
reducing your body weight including increased energy and cardiovascular health.
Most
times, doctors do not test for diabetes unless there are risk factors present
including age (over
45 years old). But if you are considered
obese, your doctor will probably order
the
appropriate glucose test each year at your physical examination to check for
pre-diabetes
and diabetes.
There are
not always symptoms present when you have pre diabetes. But if you are experiencing
any of the signs that could signal the full disease such as an increased thirst
and need
to urinate, make an appointment with your doctor for a check-up.
