Type 2 Diabetes – Diagnosis is the First Step
Executive summary about Diabetes Diagnosis By Beverleigh H Piepers
Instead, it is meant to raise awareness of diabetes along with its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.
So what is type 2 diabetes?
Diabetes Check
In technical terms, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by abnormally high blood sugar levels. It is the result of a combination of:
- hereditary or genetic disposition, in other words, a family history of diabetes and
- environmental factors … obesity, inappropriate diet and inactivity.
The diagnosis is made by:
Your health care provider
- taking details from you and completing a screening test
- performing a physical examination including your blood pressure and urinalysis
- ordering blood tests including cholesterol levels and fasting blood sugar tests
This helps him to make a definitive diagnosis. If the test results show prediabetes, you have great hope yet to delay, maybe even prevent, the onset of full-blown type 2 diabetes.

Self Diagnosis of Gestational Diabetes:
There are many home diagnosis kits available in the market now days that can help diagnose the disease on your own at home. Some special type of dye is used in these gestational diabetes diagnosis kits. You need to put 3 drops of urine or blood on the vessel and if the result is positive, the colour will change from yellow to whatever colour is mentioned on the packet
