how do you know if you have diabetes?

Type 2 diabetes is easy to diagnose. The easiest way to know is to get a blood glucose meter that most health insurances cover and check your blood. But if you cant do that here are some signs. You feel very tired even after a good nights sleep. You crave sugar or carb foods. Your always feeling hungry even after a big meal. Your always thirsty no matter how much you drink. You have gained a lot of weight even though your diet hasnt changed.

If you get a blood glucose meter and start testing your normal value should be 87. If you test after a meal and its very high? Say 100 or 140 or 200 then there is no doubt you have type 2 diabetes. In a normal body the blood sugar never rises above 87 no matter how much sugar or carbs you eat. I know because i have had type 2 diabetes since 2011

You lose all feeling and balance and can't stop peeing...

You dont really,if its in the early stages there isnt really any symptoms A doctor can find out with a blood test that shows if there is excess sugar in your blood. I am in that position myself.

The surest way is a blood test. Been there

All you need to do is ask a family member or friend who has diabetes to ***** your finger. Don't do that until

you have not eaten for 2 hours.

You urinate too much.

Eat 20 candy bars and see if you die

You don't know you have to get tested for it sometimes symptoms don't show up.

you get diagnosed by a doctor.
