How Long Can Type 2 Diabetes Go Undetected?

confusedwife1 asked:


I am wondering if my husband may have had it for past 2 yrs. He urinates frequently, eats excessively (lots of carbs/etc), hands/ feet itch, low-no sex drive. Has lost weight and is watching what i eat – but i wonder if this may have been an issue all along. His dad, uncle, and grandfathers all had it.

are there any other signs?

Question by ?Angel Eyez?: What are the warning signs of gestational diabetes?
I am 27 weeks pregnant, I go in for my glucose test in 3 weeks. I was just wondering if there are any warning signs that I may have gestational diabetes. This is my second pregnancy, I didn’t have any problems with my first pregnancy nor do I have a history of diabetes or high blood pressure or anything like that. I have just been feeling really sick the past few days. Every time I eat I feel very nauseous and sometimes even have stomach pain. Does anyone know if this is normal? Thanks.

Answer by ainawgsd
The warning signs of gestational diabetes are the same as the warning signs of other forms of diabetes. Most commonly people are going to notice significantly increased thirst and urination. As far as I know, stomach pain and nausea after eating are not signs of diabetes.

Answer by mnvikes8484
there arent any effective herbal treatments, but there are prescriptions that can help a little bit. best thing to do though is avoid it by maintaining a healthy weight and excercising regularly. type 2 diabetes often doesnt have symptoms early on (or they are subtle) so the only way you’d know for sure is a blood test. lots of times you can get them at health fairs for -15

signs of diabetes

Question by britmcclain: What are the signs of diabetes and when should I be tested?
Lately I’ve found myself urinating quite oftem, very thristy, and feeling very nauseated when I have eaten something in a few hours. Could this possibly be symptons of diabetes?

Diabetes does run in the family and I just found out that two more realitives were diagnosed. They are much older though, I’m only 23. I’m hoping that I am just being paranoid.

What are the symptoms and what can I do to make sure I don’t get them if at all possible?

Best answer:

Answer by Max
Get your blood sugar tested by a doctor, or by a family member who has a blood glucose meter.

The symptoms I displayed when I was diagnosed were constant thirst, frequent urination and blurry vision.

Question by john: What are the signs of diabetes? And is it possible that i could have it?
Just like the headline, what are the signs of diabetes? I’ve gone around looking up on the internet and some medical books and found that the symptoms are, increased hunger, thirst, fatigue, increase in urination both volume and frequency. But what else are there?

And so far i’ve noticed that i’ve been experiencing both increased thirst and urination, but not much of hunger out of all those. Is there a possible chance that i could have it?

Best answer:

Answer by Amanda
Sounds like you’ve done your homework and those are all the symptoms, I’m aware of. I would go to the DR! The only other one I can think of is blurred vision, low and high blood sugar. You can buy a blood sugar test and test your sugar. They cost between -0 and up. I got mine for about . I found out I have hypoglycemia which is basically diabetes but the opposite.. If you do have diabetes, you need to know so you can keep yourself healthy and stay on top of it. Go to the DR!

Answer by Misz_Jazzy
A lot of times certain diabetic medicines make your skin more susceptible to burns when being in the sun, and when your diabetic it takes a lot longer for your blood to clot when you get a scratch or a sore. Since it takes longer for these things to heal you also become more open to infections and etc.

I went to my GP yesterday as a follow-up appointment after being diagnosed with cellulitis in the foot. A number of other concerns were raised about my circulation and my heart which were showing some bad results after checking blood pressure. They said I am also very low on oxygen due to shortness of breath. I am going for some tests on Monday and Tuesday to find out whether I do have diabetes and anything else but what are the usual signs that a person has diabetes?
