I thought to share my experience as pre-diabetic. I had been on metformin for near a year but I was getting the stabbing in middle of one foot but it was never consistent and my fingers kept numbing when on my phone or tablet. I would get hot and cold flashes. Sweating in either temperature. My endocrinologist always told me to take walks. I couldn't get my body to leave the house. No motivation. I kept getting that voice inside telling me to get off metformin and change your eating. Your life will change. I started walking and found out what foods to eat and drink. I started with lemon water and I started loosing weight in couple days and I started feeling better. I do l lemon/ginger and garlic drinks at times. I stopped sugar soon as I did lemon. It's been 3months without sodas and only natural sugar from apples,lemons,oranges,bannas

[@Mr_Obvious]

It's absolutely better to make the required changes before you become a full blown insulin dependent type 2 diabetic like I did, but it's never to late to make the changes. I went from taking 1,000 mg of Metformin 2x a day and 45 units of insulin at bed time every day to taking no Metformin and no insulin at all by changing my diet and getting off my lazy ass and exercising daily. I walk on the treadmill for an hour a day now, and eat whole foods with low net carb counts. No processed junk food, no sugary treats. A reasonable portion of meat, fish, poultry, or eggs and a large amount of veggies for dinner, and intermittent fasting. I'm 64 years old now so if I can do it, anyone can. You can do it with less than an hour a day on the treadmill, but the more exercise the better, not just for reversing diabetes, but for over all cardio vascular health as well. I've not felt better than I do today for many years. I have more energy, and less appetite than I did 20 years ago! Btw..I did this in less than 3 months. I've lost 25 lbs, and have not needed to take a shot of insulin or a pill of Metformin in 2 months. I'm under no illusion that I've cured my diabetes, just reversed it, and more or less put it on hold. I'm sure that if I were to go back to eating processed foods and sugary treats, my diabetes would come right back. This needs to be a life long change in order to stay healthy and insulin free. Only time will tell if I can stay the course, but the way I feel now that I'm becoming healthy, I don't see why I would ever want to go back to my previous life style. My DR was pretty surprised at my last visit when I told him I was no longer taking the diabetes meds, yet was able to maintain my blood glucose levels in the 80-110 range, with most days hovering in the 90's. My only regret is I didn't start doing this years ago when I was warned that I was pre diabetic. I urge everyone to not wait until you are shooting insulin every day to take action and change your life style.

Your video helped me to understand so much about what recently happened to me. I currently am in a nursing home and have been here for about five years due to health problems. About a year ago, I started to lose weight without trying to. I then xuspected diabetes, but blood tests were normal and no elevated blood sugar. In January of this year I began to have dry mouth and was constantly thirsty. I also was occasionally nauseous and vomited. My skin was very dry and itchy, and my vision became blurry. A blood test two weeks ago revealed that I had a blood sugar of 692! Now, of course, I get fingersticks and insulin before meals. My blood sugar is now around 200 to 250, still high but lower than 692. I do my best to eat better but unfortunately, being in a nursing home, I have to eat what they give me.

[@jimmydandy9364]

All 8 of these symptoms are not necessarily linked to pre-diabetes and could mean other medical issues, some very serious. The unexpected weight loss can be linked to some cancers too. It would be unusual to have unexpected weight loss to a level as shown in the video - as your body is insulin resistant it must produce a ton more insulin, so you get fatter and gain more weight, not lose it. Your body is constantly burning fat, but its main source of energy is glucose - ONLY the liver has an enzyme to export glucose for energy, otherwise muscles use their own store and cannot export it for use elsewhere - you would have to deplete your liver glycogen for body to switch to stored fat as primary source, and even so you would need an "adaptation" period for your body to eventually become used to burning fat as fuel (fully fat adapted). Excess weight can lead to insulin resistance which can lead to diabetes, which is why losing weight can help lower and even reverse IR and keep blood sugar in check. You only lose weight if you are on a calorie deficit - my first thought if I see unexpected weight loss that is noticeable would be cancer or tape worms, pre-diabetes would be the last on the list or not at all, because it is not common at all!!! Fatigue can also signal other issues like anemia, renal fatigue or other - excessive thirst and urination definitely a common symptom and you can confirm this with a urine test that shows glucose in your urine. Unless of course somoene has a condition where for some reason the liver is not storing glycogen correctly like WIlson's disease........ as far as feeling sleepy after a meal, it's not always a symptom of pre-diabetes, it's not uncommon if you eat a meal very high in protein and/or carbs, or high glycemic load / index foods. As far as eyes, your level of glucose would definitely need to be well above the pre-diabetic range for eye symptoms to start or blood vessel damage, many of those symptoms in your video would put people already well into the diabetic range as opposed to pre-diabetes range. The "pre" stage is mostly where you hover in the "borderline" and it is likely because you are insulin resistant due to overweight and bad habits. Testing not only for A1c but also insulin to glucose ratios is a good thing - which most people don't do, and most fraud of doctors don't suggest. insulin levels and insulin:glucose ratio tests can show long in advance, precursors to developing diabetes. Also the standard fasting glucose test ALONE is worthless, there are many things that can raise blood sugar to diabetic levels, even the stress on the day of the test is enough, which is why an A1c and insulin tests go a long way, what matters is the level of glycation over a period of time ! Even if you pass the pre stage and become diabetic ou can still reverse it, assuming it is of type 2 and your pancreas still works correctly, with exercise, proper eating habits AND most importantly losing excess weight and limiting amount of processed foods and REFINED carbs - can bring A1c significantly down - once you have solved the insulin resistance problem, it's all about your insulin eventually not being able to keep up with the glucose anymore, as simple as that.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

You are correct that the symptoms mentioned in the video can have various causes, including other medical conditions. Regarding pre-diabetes, it's important to note that not everyone with pre-diabetes experiences the same symptoms or severity of symptoms. The symptoms discussed in the video are general indicators that may be present in some individuals with pre-diabetes but may not be present in all cases. Thank you for sharing your insights on diabetes and its management.

If you don't have one, buy a glucometer. Fast for 12 hours and take your blood sugar. If it is over 126 for two days in a row, you are likely diabetic. I was like you a couple of years ago. Sweaty, shaky, blurry, fatigued, slow healing, thirsty, frequent urination, etc. I took my fasting blood sugar and for three days in a row, it was in the 150s. I immediately went low carb. My diet is mostly protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs), nuts, seeds, veggies, and non-sweet fruits like tomatoes, avocado, berries. As long as I stick to the diet, I can maintain a normal bloodsugar without medication. I can even cheat once in a while on special occasions without messing up my blood sugar. However, if those treats occur too frequently, I am back to being diabetic because the more sugar/bread/pasta/rice that I eat, the more I crave it. It is easier to avoid it altogether because when you don't eat it, you stop craving it. Good luck.

Hi , I have been diagnosed as a hypoglycaemic person and later as prediabetic. However the specialist doctor failed to address the underlying cause mentioned in Louise Hays book, "You can Heal Your Life". She describes it beautifully as "overwhelmed by the burdens in life, what's the use". At 70, tonight, I am looking back in my life to see a pattern of abuse even by my parents as they failed to nurture me in life skills. Consequently, everywhere I went in life I was used and abused into verry low self esteem and hopelessness. Ignorance and prejudice against me abounded every where I went. My life patterns were self defeating until now I recognise some of the signs mentioned here in my body and mind. THANKYOU. I am going to see if I can get some help.

We're sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced in your life. It's important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. While Louise Hay's book may provide insights into the mind-body connection, it's essential to work with qualified healthcare professionals to address your medical condition. Consider seeking support from a healthcare team that includes a medical doctor, therapist, or counselor who can help you navigate both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. They can assist you in developing a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and supports your overall well-being. In addition to professional support, it can be beneficial to engage in self-care practices that promote emotional well-being, such as practicing mindfulness, engaging in activities you enjoy, building a support network of friends and loved ones, and exploring therapeutic techniques that resonate with you. Remember, healing is a process, and it takes time. Be patient and compassionate with yourself as you embark on this journey.

Type 2 diabetes can often also be reversed completely. I’m not advocating waiting if you’re not yet diabetic, but if you are diabetic, it can be reversed, so don’t give up. A “balanced” diet is NOT helpful. Lower carb/keto/carnivore, no sugar, no processed food and no vegetable/seed oils IS helpful. Fasting, both time-restricted feeding and extended, is also very helpful in reversing insulin resistance and all symptoms, including type 2, of insulin resistance. Considering about 88% of the American adult population has insulin resistance, and insulin resistance can be in place years, if not decades, before blood glucose is consistently high, please get your fasting insulin checked out, and not just glucose levels. There are also many, many symptoms of insulin resistance (not just type 2): obesity, IBD, skin conditions, dementia, alzheimers, M.S., HBP, fatty liver, PCOS, dry eye, heart disease, cataracts, anxiety, depression, autoimmune, certain cancers, etc. So, if you have any of these things (any chronic disease), your insulin is probably high, and is a sign to lower it, so you don’t end up with other symptoms, including diabetes.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge regarding diabetes and insulin resistance. Your message highlights important aspects of managing and potentially reversing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance through dietary and lifestyle interventions. It's true that many people have successfully managed and even reversed type 2 diabetes by adopting a lower-carb or ketogenic diet, avoiding processed foods, and making healthier lifestyle choices. Focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and avoiding added sugars and unhealthy fats can indeed contribute to improved insulin sensitivity and better blood sugar control. Intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding have also shown promise in improving insulin resistance and metabolic health. These approaches can help regulate insulin levels, improve fat metabolism, and support weight management. It's important to emphasize the significance of getting proper medical advice and guidance when making significant dietary and lifestyle changes, especially for individuals with existing health conditions. Consulting healthcare professionals, including doctors and registered dietitians, is crucial to ensure that any changes align with an individual's unique health needs. Additionally, recognizing the wide range of symptoms associated with insulin resistance underscores the importance of proactive health management. If someone is experiencing symptoms related to insulin resistance, it's a clear signal to address underlying issues and make necessary adjustments to improve overall health. Thank you for sharing this valuable information with others who might benefit from understanding the role of insulin resistance in various health conditions. As always, individual responses to dietary and lifestyle changes can vary, so personalization and guidance from healthcare professionals are essential. 🌱🩸🏥

@@DiabeticsTalk - I appreciate you saying to seek medical advice, especially if there are underlying medical conditions or if there are medications that could cause issues as people get more metabolically healthy. The unfortunate piece about seeking medical advice is it is often counter to anything related to diet, fasting, and movement. It is usually here’s your diagnosis and here’s a pill to help cover over the symptoms. I do think it’s vital to try and include medical professionals if they are willing. If not, try and find a new one or start very slowly. I mean, people absolutely CAN eliminate sugar, grains, and processed foods without talking to their doctor. And, most people can even limit the number of hours they take in food, when they start slowly. For example, if you’re eating from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed, wait an hour or two in the morning before you eat and then cut yourself off 2-3 hours before bed. See what else you can do. There are also some KZbin doctors who do offer coaching and or 1-on-1 sessions to be able to, at least, get started, and they will refer you to your physician if they feel it’s necessary. One type of person I would never go to, unless I know they are well versed in low carb/keto/carnivore, is a dietician. The people who started the dietetic association in the U.S. were vegans, and the people who sponsor these programs now are all from big food. Not to mention, the two doctors (Dr. Tim Noakes and Dr. Gary Fettke) who were silenced or brought to court for giving eat less sugar or eat low carb advice, were reported by dieticians. If anything, dieticians often work against the very advice that would bring health. I’ve come across a couple who “saw the light,” shall we say. Michelle Hurn, who wrote “The Dietician’s Dilemma,” and walks the talk herself, after having health issues herself, is a good one.

We understand your concern and worry about being at risk for diabetes, especially if it runs in your family. Family history can indeed play a role in increasing the likelihood of developing certain conditions, including type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to remember that genetics is just one factor, and lifestyle choices can also have a significant impact on your health. While you may have some risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history, it doesn't mean that you are destined to develop the condition. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider, can all help reduce your risk of developing diabetes or manage the condition if you have it. Awareness of your risk factors and taking proactive steps to live a healthy lifestyle can empower you to take control of your health and reduce the impact of any genetic predisposition. If you have concerns about your health or potential symptoms, I encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your individual health history and risk factors. They can work with you to create a plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you achieve your health goals. Remember, knowledge is power, and taking charge of your health is a positive step in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling life.

I had been diagnosed Pre diabetic only a few years ago but before that I was actually gaining weight. I don’t really eat a lot but that’s when my primary care noticing changes in lab values. My right eye has a gradual cloudiness that started later but I didn’t connect the dots. My father died of kidney failure from adult onset DM when he was only 65 yo . I believe exercise and balance low carb diet in small frequent feeds is the key , with extra supplements and necessary meds. Im on Metformin , and it made me loose weight.

[@paulturner3553]

Eye cloudiness can also be the beginnings of cataracts. My last visit to have my eyes checked last year showed early stage cataracts at age 66-67. My wife has had cataracts a few years or so and she is 2 years older than me. Cutting-back of sugar is never a bad idea. Getting=out for walks 4-5 times weekly is also good. Weight control is certainly important.

[@chrissimiles3599]

It’s important to not have many small meals but instead eat only once or twice a day and include some intermittend fasting. This way your gut can have a clean up and you don’t have constant insulin release. The body basically resets itself.

[@tisoychuy8433]

Frequent eating may trigger insulin increase from time to time to get rid of the sugar from food and deliver it into the cells. Doing this for a long time will lead you to develop INSULIN RESISTANCE which is very alarming

I struggle a lot with my body it’s hard for me to lose weight. I mostly eating more vegetables and sandwiches with healthier options and that’s pretty much what I’ve been eating.

You are too young to be having such health problems at 20. Typically 40-50 is where problems start to show-up. Make the changes or be dead at mid-life. I take 3 fish capsols with my daily meals. Stay away from all processed forms of sugar as much as possible. My wife and I are in our late 60's. We buy pork and chicken when on sale. We also buy fruit and vegetables when on sale. Limit your bread intake to lunch. We prefer whole wheat and whole grain bread. We have started buying 5 dozen egg flats because the price of 12-18 eggs is too expensive.

I had tingling x some numbness but it was only at night when lying down on my back w palpitations too sometimes. I get cramping in my feet or hands sometimes, I chalked it up to not enough water intake. I also have blurred vision sometimes as i kept getting sinusitis that caused itching in my eyes and light sensitivity driving at night. I did change my diet when the vision blues started at night, bc I’m used to having really good vision. I injured my back at Amazon x when I went to the doctor I was told after test it was muscle spasms, many spasms causing a pinched nerve in my upper shoulder/neck. After treatment the tingling/numbness at night stopped when lying on my back but I still get muscle cramping.

We understand that receiving conflicting information from different doctors can be confusing and frustrating. It's important to remember that pre-diabetes is a reversible condition, and taking proactive steps to manage your health can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Here are some general guidelines that may help in managing pre-diabetes: Healthy eating: Focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit your intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, and high-fat foods. Regular physical activity: Engage in regular exercise or physical activity that you enjoy. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, spread out over several days. Additionally, incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass. Weight management: If you are overweight or obese, losing even a small amount of weight (5-10% of your body weight) can have a positive impact on your blood sugar levels. Monitor blood sugar levels: Regularly check your blood sugar levels at home using a glucose meter, as advised by your healthcare provider. This can help you understand how your body responds to different foods and activities. Stress management: Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in hobbies, or seeking support from friends and family. Regular check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your health, discuss any concerns, and receive appropriate guidance. It's important to work closely with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation. They can help you create a plan tailored to your needs and monitor your progress over time.

According to my doctor many people can have pre-diabetes there entire life and it never goes into diabetes.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

It is true that some individuals can remain in the pre-diabetes stage for an extended period without progressing to full-blown diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetic range. With appropriate lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, it is possible to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes in some cases. However, it is important to note that pre-diabetes still carries an increased risk of developing diabetes and other health complications, so it's essential to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and follow any recommendations provided by your healthcare provider.

While it's not possible to directly increase insulin production in the body naturally, there are strategies you can adopt to improve insulin sensitivity and optimize your body's response to insulin. Here are some lifestyle approaches that may help: Regular physical activity: Engaging in regular exercise, such as aerobic activities, resistance training, or even brisk walking, can improve insulin sensitivity. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, as recommended by health guidelines. Healthy diet: Focus on a balanced diet that includes whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Incorporate foods with a low glycemic index, as they have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels. Portion control: Pay attention to portion sizes and avoid overeating. Controlling portion sizes can help manage blood sugar levels and optimize insulin utilization. Manage stress: Chronic stress can affect insulin sensitivity. Incorporate stress-management techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in activities you enjoy to reduce stress levels. Get enough sleep: Aim for adequate sleep each night, as sleep deprivation can affect insulin sensitivity. Strive for 7-9 hours of quality sleep consistently. Maintain a healthy weight: If you are overweight or obese, losing excess weight can improve insulin sensitivity. Focus on gradual, sustainable weight loss through a combination of a balanced diet and regular exercise. It's important to note that these lifestyle strategies can support overall health and improve insulin sensitivity but may not directly increase insulin production in individuals with Type 1 diabetes or severe insulin deficiency. In those cases, insulin replacement therapy is typically necessary. Always consult with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or a registered dietitian, who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your specific health conditions and needs. They can help create a tailored plan to manage diabetes effectively.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

You're welcome! We're glad you found the video informative. If you have been experiencing most of the symptoms mentioned but your doctor hasn't addressed them, it may be helpful to have a conversation with your doctor specifically about your concerns regarding pre-diabetes or diabetes. Here are a few hints you can consider: Request specific tests: Ask your doctor to perform tests related to blood sugar levels, such as fasting glucose, A1c, and insulin levels. These tests can provide more insight into your blood sugar control and potential pre-diabetic or diabetic status. Keep a symptom diary: Maintain a record of your symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, and any patterns you notice. This information can be valuable when discussing your concerns with your doctor. Discuss your diet: Share details about your current diet with your doctor, including the consumption of dates and dark chocolate. While these choices may be healthier alternatives to refined sugar, they can still contribute to overall carbohydrate intake and affect blood sugar levels. Your doctor can provide guidance on moderation and suitable dietary adjustments. Consider a second opinion: If you are still concerned and your doctor hasn't addressed your symptoms adequately, it might be worth seeking a second opinion from another healthcare professional. They may approach your symptoms and concerns from a different perspective. Remember, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific health history and current condition.

[@BoatPotomac]

Unfortunately, this video is not completely accurate. Degreed and State licensed nutritionists provide accurate lists of foods to avoid to prevent diabetes. Top on their lists are: wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, carrots, peas, and sweet potatoes. These metabolize rapidly to sugar. People are often aware they need to limit diet, but turning to veggies that rapidly metabolize to sugar is NOT helpful in reducing blood sugar. It can take years to convince the body to accept big salads as substitutes for pizza, bread/sandwiches, and pasta based meal plans. But if one keeps substituting salads and good vegetables for the starchy carbs, the body does learn that fiber and nutrition can be more satisfying when starchy carbs are phased out. What happens when starchy carbs and sugary foods are eliminated from the meal plans and snacks is that hunger goes DOWN. A person can start feeling full when eating half as much as before. This marks the defeat of insulin resistance and the calories being rated again being readily accessible to cells to burn off as energy. People have to learn to tolerate the years of transition away from starchy carbs and sugary foods BOTH. Low sugar Greek yogurt becomes the substitute for ice cream and milkshakes. To avoid kidney stones, people need dairy if eating nuts and spinach and other foods that cause kidney stones to mineralize and grow. Kidney stones are VERY expensive and just as painful physically as economically. The loss of vision from diabetes can be very gradual, so can the risk of loosing toes and the risk of requiring 3 dialysis sessions a week to stay alive. People in affluent nations have a choice between satisfying the taste buds or protecting vision, toes, and overall blood health. The body can recalibrate to where a few berries are just as satisfying psychologically as eating half a pizza or a third of a pie or third of a cheesecake. One has to reach the point where keeping vision and toes and avoiding dialysis is as important to the person as indulging the tongue.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Thank you for sharing your perspective on diabetes and nutrition. It's true that there are varying opinions on what foods to avoid or limit when managing diabetes. However, it's important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing diabetes, and nutrition recommendations should be tailored to individual needs and preferences. Consulting with a licensed healthcare professional, including a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator, can help individuals develop a personalized plan that fits their specific needs and goals.

"Degreed and State licensed nutritionists provide accurate lists of foods to avoid to prevent diabetes. Top on their lists are: wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, carrots, peas, and sweet potatoes." I wouldn't trust the nutritionist that gave you that list. Those are very healthy foods and they will not cause any disease whatsoever. In terms of the wheat, choose whole grain, preferably intact wheat berries. In terms of the rice I would ideally choose brown, black or red rice when you can.

[@chrissimiles3599]

Well said. I have been mostly avoiding bread, rice, pasta and potato plus limit my sugar intake to the very occasional small treat. At first I could not believe that I would not get hungry but it’s amazing how a big salad of healthy greens with avocado, tomato and other healthy ingredients can actually leave me completely satisfied for 16-18 hours.

I drink a lot of water not because I'm thirsty but to keep hydrated.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Staying hydrated is important for overall health, and drinking an adequate amount of water is recommended for everyone, including those with or without diabetes. Drinking water helps maintain proper bodily functions, supports digestion, regulates body temperature, and aids in transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells. If you feel the need to drink a lot of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, it's generally a good practice. It's important to listen to your body and drink when you feel thirsty, as thirst is a natural indicator of your body's need for fluids. However, it's also essential to strike a balance and not overhydrate, as excessive water intake can lead to a condition called water intoxication or hyponatremia. If you have concerns about your hydration levels or if you are experiencing excessive thirst or frequent urination, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure that there are no underlying medical conditions that need attention. Remember, individual hydration needs may vary, so it's important to pay attention to your body's signals and maintain a balanced approach to hydration.

Like the info.Whats fasting blood sugar for pre diabeticcs typically ?

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Fasting blood sugar levels can be used to diagnose and monitor pre-diabetes. The typical range for fasting blood sugar in pre-diabetes is: Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG): FPG levels between 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) and 125 mg/dL (6.9 mmol/L) are considered indicative of pre-diabetes. Hemoglobin A1c (A1c): A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% are typically associated with pre-diabetes. A1c reflects the average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It's important to note that these ranges may vary slightly depending on the reference values used by different medical organizations. Additionally, individual factors and circumstances should be taken into account when interpreting fasting blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of pre-diabetes. If you have concerns about your fasting blood sugar levels or suspect you may have pre-diabetes, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide appropriate testing, evaluation, and guidance based on your specific circumstances.

[@AloneAgainstAll8855]

Can someone help answer my question please?? Almost two years ago I got blood work and my A1C was 7.9….. Now after almost two years of medication (Mounjaro) and losing 45 pounds my A1C is 5.4 and I am no longer on meds. My question is, am I still diabetic?? If my A1C stays at 5.4 will my body still be receiving the damage that diabetes causes?? Thank you for any replies.

[@Kinkle_Z]

I would say that these are early signs: 1) High BP; 2) waist circumference > 35" for women and 40" for men; 3) increasing thirst and nightly trips to the bathroom, 4) Peripheral neuropathy (loss of feeling in feet, hands, 5) HgbA1c between 5 - 6% 6) HOMA-IR >4.3 , 7) Dry and itchy skin

Thank you for your useful information. What is the normal diabetes level

[@DiabeticsTalk]

You're welcome! We're glad you found the information useful. When we talk about diabetes levels, we are usually referring to blood glucose levels, which indicate the amount of sugar (glucose) present in the bloodstream. The normal blood glucose levels can vary depending on whether a person has eaten recently or is fasting. Here are the general guidelines for normal blood glucose levels: Fasting Blood Glucose (measured after not eating or drinking anything except water for at least 8 hours): Normal: 70-99 mg/dL (3.9-5.5 mmol/L) Postprandial Blood Glucose (measured 1-2 hours after eating a meal): Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L) It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and individual variations can occur. Additionally, the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and prediabetes are defined by medical organizations such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). For diabetes diagnosis: Fasting Blood Glucose: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate occasions. Random Blood Glucose (taken at any time of the day without regard to meals): 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher, with classic diabetes symptoms. Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher 2 hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage. If you suspect you might have diabetes or if you're concerned about your blood glucose levels, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can provide personalized guidance and recommend appropriate management strategies to maintain optimal health.

We're not a doctor, but we can offer some general guidance. It's essential to take your symptoms seriously and discuss them with a healthcare professional as soon as possible. While we can't provide a diagnosis, the symptoms you've described can be associated with various medical conditions, including diabetes. Here are some steps to consider: Talk to a Parent or Guardian: Share your concerns with a trusted adult, such as a parent or guardian. They can help you schedule a doctor's appointment and provide support. See a Healthcare Provider: It's crucial to see a healthcare provider, preferably a pediatrician or family doctor, who can evaluate your symptoms, perform necessary tests, and provide a diagnosis. They may order blood tests to check your blood sugar levels and assess your overall health. Keep a Symptom Diary: While waiting for your appointment, consider keeping a diary of your symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, and any patterns you notice. This information can be valuable for your healthcare provider. Stay Hydrated: Continue to drink water as needed to stay hydrated, but don't restrict your fluid intake in anticipation of the doctor's appointment. Seek Support: If you experience discomfort or worrying symptoms, don't hesitate to seek immediate medical attention. Please remember that it's always better to seek medical advice and rule out any underlying health concerns rather than trying to self-diagnose or dismiss symptoms. Many medical conditions can be managed effectively with early intervention and treatment. Your health and well-being are essential, so don't hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

Hi what if you experience these symptoms,they go away on there own even when eating carbs and sweet things and then they come back. I’ve had this symptoms on and off through the years..

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Experiencing symptoms that come and go over the years, including symptoms related to the consumption of carbs and sweet foods, can be a cause for concern. While I'm an AI language model and not a healthcare professional, I can offer some general insights. It's important to recognize that symptoms can vary for each individual, and they can also be influenced by various factors, including diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and overall health. The intermittent nature of your symptoms suggests that there may be underlying fluctuations in your body's response to certain foods. If you have concerns about these symptoms, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your situation thoroughly. They may recommend conducting tests, monitoring your blood sugar levels, or other diagnostic measures to help identify any underlying conditions or patterns. Remember, it's always better to address potential health issues sooner rather than later. A healthcare professional can provide you with personalized guidance, considering your specific symptoms, medical history, and other factors that may contribute to your experiences.

[@Michael-B41]

what about blurred vision and frequent urination i have thos two symptoms only with occasional thirstyness

[@DiabeticsTalk]

We're not a doctor, but we can offer some general information that might help. Blurred vision and frequent urination can be symptoms associated with diabetes. The excess sugar in your bloodstream can lead to changes in your vision and increase the need to urinate frequently. Occasional thirstiness could also be linked to this. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can perform tests to determine if diabetes or another health issue is the cause of your symptoms. Early detection and management of diabetes are crucial for maintaining your overall health, so I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They can provide you with personalized guidance and treatment options based on your specific situation.

That's awesome! Cutting back on sweet drinks and foods, and adding more green leafy veggies, is definitely a great step for managing blood sugar. Whole wheat bread can be a better option, but it’s still good to eat it in moderation. Cheese can be part of a healthy diet too, just keep an eye on portion sizes. You're making great changes, so keep it up and check in with your doctor for the best advice!

We're sorry if there was any confusion in the video regarding the symptoms of diabetes versus prediabetes. While both prediabetes and diabetes share some common symptoms, such as increased thirst and frequent urination, it's important to note that the symptoms of diabetes are typically more severe and can include weight loss, blurred vision, and slow wound healing. We are hoping that this guides the viewers that if they're experiencing any symptoms of diabetes, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and management. Additionally, regular check-ups and blood glucose monitoring can help to identify prediabetes and prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

[@octaviawalker823]

I totally disagree with you. I am a pre diabetic and I was having some tingling in my feet and hands sometimes and couldn't figure out why until my doctor taken blood work. I am pre diabetic with cholesterol levels of 185 in February 2023. Taken blood work again in March 2023 and my cholesterol levels dropped to 177 which is better. My goal is to continue to eat my vegetables and greens and to eat healthier. I do experience skin irritation, itchiness and frequent urinations, as well as being thirsty with a lot of water intake. I would drank like bottles of water and consistently run to the bathroom. Since being on an vegetable and fruit diet my water intake has drastically changed and I am not as thirsty as I was. The tingling in my feet seem to subside too. You don't have to be full blown diabetes to experience the pre signs. Either way, it's all in changing your eating habits and paying attention to your body. I used to eat bags of chips like crazy, my favorite and now I don't eat chips at all. I went cold turkey asap, no question. I am so afraid of heart disease, diabetes mellitus and other diseases that I can prevent. i ain't playing, I listen to my doctor.

When you have Type 2 diabetes there's never any weight loss. I have diabetes now for 15 yrs. With fasting I've lost 31 pounds and gave 24 to go. I never experienced weight loss. If you're diabetic that means you have a diet issue meaning you can't stop eating specially processed sugar.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

We understand your personal experience, but we would like to clarify that weight loss can indeed occur in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. In fact, weight loss is often recommended as a part of managing diabetes and improving overall health. Losing weight can help improve insulin sensitivity, blood sugar control, and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes. While some individuals may struggle with weight loss due to various factors, including dietary choices and insulin resistance, it is not accurate to say that weight loss never occurs in Type 2 diabetes. It's important to work with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance on diet, exercise, and weight management strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals.

How many of these eight symptoms are needed? Old age increases all occurrences of these symptoms, in my opinion, from myself and my elderly associates. My doctor said that currently my body is prediabetic. It was that for a while, until my wife directed my food away from factory foods. Grapes are in session right now in Australia, but this is probably causing my summer inn blood sugar. Now I will purchase the blood sugar level device, via the pin pricks. The other low priced device was a smartwatch ($70 AUD) which did not require any real blood test. Correlating this with the blood glucose meter will verify the new smartwatch.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

The number of symptoms needed to indicate diabetes can vary, as it depends on the individual and the severity of their symptoms. However, in general, a diagnosis of diabetes is based on a combination of factors, including symptoms, blood sugar levels, and other laboratory tests. It's true that some of the symptoms of diabetes, such as fatigue and frequent urination, can also occur in older adults due to factors such as age-related changes in metabolism or medication side effects. However, it's important to pay attention to any new or persistent symptoms and discuss them with a healthcare provider, especially if you have other risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history of the condition or being overweight. Monitoring blood sugar levels at home can be a helpful tool in managing prediabetes or diabetes, as it can provide insight into how diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors are impacting blood sugar levels. There are several types of blood glucose meters available on the market, including those that require pin pricks and those that use alternative methods such as smartwatches or continuous glucose monitors. It's important to choose a device that is accurate and reliable, and to work with a healthcare provider to interpret the results and develop a personalized management plan.

[@mettamorph4523]

Blood sugar tests are a money grab and NOT a great disease deterrent. A HOMA IR test, a $20 add on to typical blood tests, is a better indicator of impending diabetes. Blood sugar tests are like the water leak in the ceiling of a home. By the time the water shows up there, a lot of water damage has been occuring somewhere else. We needed to nip it in the bud a while ago. Regarding diabetes, we need to change our diets immediately.

[@11kwright]

Old age is basically inflammaging. Aging from inflammation. You should expect to get all these ailments when aging, shouldn’t expect to be healthy whilst aging. Lifestyle and decades of poor information just made everyone think this is how aging is when it's not. If you want to believe that then age badly when many others are aging well still very active and enjoying life and others trying to. The rhetoric has always fed the big pharmaceuticals and food industry whilst we are part of the cycle in the money making at our health's expense. Take control of your life today and don't eat for just taste (the taste buds whilst ignoring what your important organ needs) feeding both industries whilst killing yourself.

I wonder if losing balance from time to time is a symptom of diabetes?

[@mikeb5613]

Could be. If you have numbness in your feet, for example. Or it could be a sign of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar.

[@DiabeticsTalk]

Losing balance from time to time is not a typical symptom of diabetes. However, diabetes can cause nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, which can affect the nerves that control movement and balance. This can result in difficulty with coordination, balance, and walking, especially in the feet and legs. Other symptoms of diabetic neuropathy may include numbness, tingling, or pain in the affected areas. It's important to note that there are many possible causes of balance issues, and a healthcare provider should be consulted to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment plan. If you have concerns about your balance or other symptoms related to diabetes, it's important to speak with your healthcare provider.

[@octaviawalker823]
