Those who think that they are at risk of diabetes ought to be on the look out for the warning signs. So, who should be looking for the signs of diabetes? Well, everyone really, but particularly those who have a family history of the illness.

Those who have a family history of diabetes are the most at danger, but next come the obese and especially those chunky people who do not do any exercise.

The less exercise, the more risk. After those, it is hard to guess who may develop it.

Some think that food additives may also be to blame. If this is true, then those who consume junk food, canned food and pre-cooked meals, including candy are also at a higher danger. This would make sense, because not all the people who develop diabetes have a family history of it or are obese.

And plenty of people are becoming diabetic these days. Many more than ever before. It is the case that there are more desk jobs than ever before too and so more fat people and if heredity is a major factor then one diabetic can produce many more, but the additives suggestion may be a factor too.

There are three types of diabetes, namely:

Type I: also called juvenile diabetes, because kids get it or are born with it.

Type II: also known as onset diabetes, because people develop it later in life.

Gestational Diabetes: pregnant women often develop this in the third term of their pregnancy. It is only recognized as a a disease in the USA, because it often goes away soon after the baby is born.

The indications of all types of diabetes are similar, but here is a slightly more detailed list:

Type I: you do not really need to look out for this because most children get lots of medical care at school, but otherwise look out for continuous thirst, the urgent requirement to urinate as a consequence of that and sudden weight loss.

Type II: as the disease takes a hold, eyesight might suffer; vision may blur and cataracts may develop. Cuts and sores may take longer to get better. There might be frequent yeast infections, thirstiness and consequent frequent urination.

The urine may smell sweet or look ?thicker?. There might be tingling or even pain in the feet and hands because of poor circulation.

Gestational Diabetes: like Type II, to which it can lead if left untreated.

If you become aware of any of the above symptoms in yourself or a friend, you have to have clinical check ups carried out instantly, because the longer you leave it, the worse it gets. It will not simply get better on its own ? never, ever. It is not like the flu or food poisoning

The check ups are not hard on the patient, but they may become lengthy and will involve giving some blood, although how much relies on the check ups. Before giving blood, the patient may be told to fast for 8-12 hours.
