Q. Do people with pre diabetes have some of the symptoms
as people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes? Right
now my blood sugar was just a little high, but I don't
have those other symptoms.
A. The American Diabetes Association's website states:
"People with pre-diabetes don't
often have symptoms. In fact, millions of people have diabetes and don't
know it because symptoms develop so gradually, people often don't
recognize them. Some people have no symptoms at all. Symptoms of
diabetes include unusual thirst, a frequent desire to urinate, blurred
vision, or a feeling of being tired most of the time for no apparent
reason."
Pre-Diabetes is unique in that weight loss, following a healthy diet to
support weight loss, and regular physical exercise can help to delay
onset of type 2 diabetes (National Diabetes Prevention Program).
