SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES



In general, some of the symptoms that occur include:
·        Frequent urination
·        Often feel very thirsty
·        Often hungry for not getting enough energy so the body gives hunger signals
·        Weight loss suddenly though no effort to lose weight. This is because when the body can not channel the sugar into its cells, the body burns its own fat and protein to gain energy.
·        Often tingling in the legs or hands.
·        Experiencing skin problems such as itching or ulcers.
·        If injured, it takes a long time to recover.
·        Such behavioral changes are irritable. The cause is because people with type 1 diabetes often wake up at night to urinate so they can not sleep soundly.
·        Easy to feel tired.

Although these symptoms may indicate a person has diabetes, the best way to ascertain whether you have diabetes or not is to check. What can be done to find out if you have diabetes? Here are some alternatives you can do either personally or at a clinic test.

Blood test

Usually performed in the laboratory, the test is blood during fasting and postprandial. Before performing the test, you must fast for 12 hours. Normal sugar levels during fasting are below 100 mg / dl. After that, blood taking will be done back 2 hours after eating, if the results above 140 mg / dl can mean you have diabetes.

Urine Test

Urine or urine examined levels of albumin, sugar and mikroalbuminurea to determine whether a person suffering from this disease or not. This test is also performed in a laboratory or clinic.

Glucometer


This test can be done alone at home if it has the tools. The trick is to jab a needle on a finger to take a blood sample. Then the blood sample is placed into the gap available on the glucometer machine. The results are not very accurate, but can be used to monitor the sugar for the patient so that if there is a high sugar indication can immediately check in the laboratory and contact a doctor. The latest glucometer tool has been designed so easy to use and painless when taking blood samples
