2008-03-05来源:
Remember when the medical world identified pre-hypertension to better monitor your blood pressure? The new buzz: Pre-Diabetes concerns a similar condition pinpointing people who are at severe risk for getting diabetes. Because Diabetes silently invades your body, early detection and corrective action are critically important.The goal with identifying pre-diabetes is to prevent the onset of Diabetes from ever happening.How do you know if you need testing for pre-diabetes? Good question. The truth is- You may not know. It's our human nature to wait until our body produces a pain or ache before we visit the doctor's office. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst and urination may not occur until the disease has progressed and is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because the onset of Diabetes is so slow.Your physician can determine if you have pre-Diabetes with two common tests. The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Both require an overnight fast.The good news is that you can likely prevent Diabetes with early detection and proper care.Don't wait 'til it hurts. Ask your doctor about Diabetes and have your blood sugar checked several times a year.For more information about diabetes, including a Diabetes Quiz and a Free booklet, visit our website at:http://hope4Diabetes.com/infoThis 20 page FREE booklet will provide you with in-depth information on comprehensive diabetes care.
