Most people find out they have diabetes during their annual blood work. However, some symptoms can point to a possible diagnosis of diabetes. These, however, only occur when glucose levels are exceedingly high. Symptoms such as being very thirsty, or urinating too much, to losing weight even though you are eating more. It is also important to know that there are two types of Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is found quite early in life, early teen years or sooner, and these cases are immediately started on insulin because they are cases where the body stops making insulin. Type 2 diabetes is usually diagnosed later on and is due to insulin resistance, meaning you make insulin, but your body is not responding to it. In these cases, if not too severe, nutritional changes and exercise plans can be tried first. If no improvement or worsening, then oral medications are started, but always with a combination of nutrition and exercise. For more uncontrolled diabetes, insulin may be added; sometimes temporarily, and other times permanently.
Type 2 diabetes—the most common form of diabetes—is caused by several factors, including lifestyle factors and genetics. Sedentary lifestyle, diet high in processed foods and carbohydrates can contribute to its development.
There is no "cure". However, many people can manage it with nutrition and exercise alone. Your genetics can predispose you to developing diabetes. For example, if your mother had gestational diabetes when pregnant with you, or if you had gestational diabetes while pregnant, or if your family members have diabetes. But, predisposition does not mean you will develop it too. This is why nutrition and exercise are so important; they help regulate your circulating blood sugar levels.
The best treatment is prevention, with a focus on nutrition and daily exercise. However, when these are not sufficient, there are a number of medications on the market to help manage this condition. From oral tablets to daily or weekly injections. Always in combination with nutrition and physical activity.
