🔎 Today, we’ll explore 8 pre-diabetes signs you must know before it’s too late. It’s the last opportunity to act before diabetes takes over.
8. Unexplained Weight Loss
Pre-diabetics may experience weight loss as their cells don't respond effectively to insulin, causing glucose to not be delivered and used for energy. This results in the breakdown of stored fat and muscle for energy. Eating a balanced diet, limiting processed foods, sugar, and carbohydrates, and regular exercise can help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and avoid insulin resistance.
7. Increased thirst and urination are sneaky symptoms of diabetes caused by excess glucose in the blood. It can damage blood vessels and kidneys and may be the only warning sign of pre-diabetes. Get your blood sugar levels checked if you experience these symptoms.
6. Blurred vision can be a warning sign of diabetes due to high levels of glucose affecting blood vessels in the eyes. Eating foods rich in beta carotene, lutein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, zinc, and antioxidants like fish, nuts, seeds, berries, and leafy greens can help improve eye health and blood sugar.
5. Slow Wound Healing
Inefficient insulin and glucose cause inflammation and reduce the ability of white blood cells to fight infections, leading to a slower healing process of wounds. Keeping skin clean and dry can help wounds heal faster.
4. Fatigue
Insulin dysfunction reduces the availability of glucose for energy production, leading to tiredness and fatigue. Exercise can help by burning glucose, improving insulin regulation, and releasing endorphins that boost energy levels.
3. Dry and Itchy Skin
Dehydration due to the body expelling excess blood glucose and damaged blood vessels prevent nutrients from reaching the skin, resulting in dry and itchy skin. Moisturizing, avoiding hot showers, and patting skin dry after showering can alleviate these problems.
2. Mood Swings
Blood sugar levels affect mood because the brain uses sugar for energy. Diabetics and pre-diabetics have trouble controlling their blood sugar levels and are more likely to experience mood problems.
1. Numbness & Tingling In Hands And Feet
High blood sugar damages the small blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to nerves, leading to peripheral neuropathy, which causes numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands and feet. If left untreated, it can worsen and lead to serious complications, including amputation.

Wow, what a quote.
We were lied to about health and that food pyramid is a lie
@@deadfool3344 powerful
This quote sink into my head
My friend was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes...He changed his diet and completely reversed it in 3 months..So, it's treatable through a better diet.
So true!
Good for him😊
Pau de arco tea
Definitely heals with a proper diet and lowering stress levels
Is it not remission? I'm in a similar situation, almost going to reverse (fasting glucose at 101 from 131) but eat from 137 to 131
It's absolutely better to make the required changes before you become a full blown insulin dependent type 2 diabetic like I did, but it's never to late to make the changes. I went from taking 1,000 mg of Metformin 2x a day and 45 units of insulin at bed time every day to taking no Metformin and no insulin at all by changing my diet and getting off my lazy ass and exercising daily. I walk on the treadmill for an hour a day now, and eat whole foods with low net carb counts. No processed junk food, no sugary treats. A reasonable portion of meat, fish, poultry, or eggs and a large amount of veggies for dinner, and intermittent fasting. I'm 64 years old now so if I can do it, anyone can. You can do it with less than an hour a day on the treadmill, but the more exercise the better, not just for reversing diabetes, but for over all cardio vascular health as well. I've not felt better than I do today for many years. I have more energy, and less appetite than I did 20 years ago! Btw..I did this in less than 3 months. I've lost 25 lbs, and have not needed to take a shot of insulin or a pill of Metformin in 2 months. I'm under no illusion that I've cured my diabetes, just reversed it, and more or less put it on hold. I'm sure that if I were to go back to eating processed foods and sugary treats, my diabetes would come right back. This needs to be a life long change in order to stay healthy and insulin free. Only time will tell if I can stay the course, but the way I feel now that I'm becoming healthy, I don't see why I would ever want to go back to my previous life style. My DR was pretty surprised at my last visit when I told him I was no longer taking the diabetes meds, yet was able to maintain my blood glucose levels in the 80-110 range, with most days hovering in the 90's. My only regret is I didn't start doing this years ago when I was warned that I was pre diabetic. I urge everyone to not wait until you are shooting insulin every day to take action and change your life style.
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and the positive changes you made to improve your health. It's truly remarkable to hear how you were able to reverse your diabetes and reduce your medication intake through lifestyle modifications.
Keep up the fantastic work, and may you continue to enjoy improved health and well-being for years to come!
Thank you sir for the sound advice, i'm to pre diabetic and i need to make life style changes before i become fully blown diabetic.
Thank you if you can do it at 64 everyone can do it.
Thanks for that. I was just diagnosed, and I'm doing everything you just mentioned. I was put on metformen, and I can't wait to see my new numbers when I see my Dr. Congratulations, and keep it up.
So happy for you! I'm taking your advice! Thanks!
My 87 year old Dad was borderline diabetic. He eliminated processed sugar from his diet. After a year he's lost over 30 lbs and his kidneys are healthier. He's always been physically active.
That's good news that his doing better.
Did your dad take sweeteners?
@@johnng5016 I think he uses Splenda in his coffee.
@@reidwhitton6248 I take Stevia but hear mixed views about sweeteners. They’re gonna get us somehow!
Eliminating processed sugars seems impossible
I thought to share my experience as pre-diabetic. I had been on metformin for near a year but I was getting the stabbing in middle of one foot but it was never consistent and my fingers kept numbing when on my phone or tablet. I would get hot and cold flashes. Sweating in either temperature. My endocrinologist always told me to take walks. I couldn't get my body to leave the house. No motivation. I kept getting that voice inside telling me to get off metformin and change your eating. Your life will change. I started walking and found out what foods to eat and drink. I started with lemon water and I started loosing weight in couple days and I started feeling better. I do l lemon/ginger and garlic drinks at times. I stopped sugar soon as I did lemon. It's been 3months without sodas and only natural sugar from apples,lemons,oranges,bannas
Thank you for sharing your experience as a pre-diabetic. It's great to hear that you found a natural way to manage your condition by changing your diet and adding physical activity. Lemon water and other natural drinks can be very beneficial for health. Cutting out sugary drinks and processed sugar is a great step towards improving overall health. Keep up the good work!
Please check out our video: czcams.com/video/aES9XjAg09U/video.html
Ask your doctor to test for B12 deficiency. Metformin is a safe and effective drug for diabetes despite some of the less desirable side effects that can occur sometimes.
I do whole lemon, many cloves of garlic and ginger every day not sometimes. I rarer than rarely eat wheat products only as a rare treat bread. It's got to be a lifestyle chang and you will need to do much more than that drink concoction. You will need to become your own health guru. Consuming turmeric, cloves along with the drink is the basic health consumption one should be consuming. Let food be thy medicine. Also see Dr Eckberg on CZcams a bald headed man and he usually begins by saying "hello health champions". He the best when it comes to health and diabetes. He has a huge following.
Yes sugar is the bad guy me personally i think anything man made is bad processed foods
@@11kwright too miyxh consuming lemon is not appropriate!! It will make up so acidic, you will feel uncomfortable specially your stomach!!.
67 year old here. After a lifetime of abusing food, I am now type 2 diabetic. I know I brought it on, but I choose to take the right actions now.
That's pretty good.
You made it all these years w/ put becoming type 2
Same here ugh I am struggling with the change
Good for you,Glen, I am addicted to sugar and I know it's excruciatingly painful to give up but I'm trying. Be strong and good luck.
@@davidferrari3884 Thank you David. Godspeed, brother.
Apple Cider Vinegar has really helped me. At first I thought it was vile. But after perseverance, I’ve developed a taste for it. One tablespoon of ACV in a glass of water, works wonders.
Either pre-meal to aid digestion, or post-meal as a “stopper.” It removes the “sweet tooth.”
you are right its kicks the hell out of diabetic effects,i used it for years and got off it,now i have prediabetic syptoms,starting taking it again 2 days ago,yesterday i felt like a million bucks,i will never wander from it again
@@strattuner
ACV is good for gut biome. And it helps control blood sugars. If you combine ACV with lemon juice, it enhances the effectiveness. Good for the liver/kidneys.👍🏻
@@Jones607 thank you for that info,i'm using it now,and i'll try it with lemons thanks again

When you drink ACV or lemons, always drink them using a straw. As they’re bad for tooth enamel.

@@donnapatacchiola6942 I have all those symptoms
No one had a straight answer but I believe, regardless of what was not said...it's both, whether it is pre or you have converted over to type II.
You only gain weight with type 2 due to insulin resistance
@Scott-xq2dm what about when u lose weight ?
I changed my diet to lots of fatty meat and eggs , I the same two carbs once a day at night , one apple and one carrot , I'm feeling much better now
i just got my new test results today and my a1c went from 6.1 to 5.6 in 4 months. i cut down a lot on sugar and white bread. i did not completely eliminate white bread and sugar i just cut down a lot by about 90%
That's fantastic news! Congratulations on improving your A1c level from 6.1 to 5.6 in just 4 months. It's a significant reduction and indicates that your efforts to cut down on sugar and white bread have had a positive impact on your blood glucose control.
By reducing your sugar and refined carbohydrate intake, you are taking important steps to manage your blood sugar levels and overall health. It's essential to find a sustainable balance in your diet that works for you, and it seems like you've made significant progress in that direction.
Remember to continue monitoring your blood sugar levels, staying active, and maintaining a balanced diet to support your overall well-being and manage your prediabetes effectively. Regular check-ups with your healthcare provider can also help track your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your management plan.
Keep up the good work, and well done on taking control of your health! If you have any more questions or need further guidance, don't hesitate to seek advice from your healthcare provider or a registered dietitian. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual health needs and goals.
Thank you for the information.
Useful.Thanks.
Thanks for guidg us.🙏
thank you for this valuable information
All 8 of these symptoms are not necessarily linked to pre-diabetes and could mean other medical issues, some very serious. The unexpected weight loss can be linked to some cancers too. It would be unusual to have unexpected weight loss to a level as shown in the video - as your body is insulin resistant it must produce a ton more insulin, so you get fatter and gain more weight, not lose it. Your body is constantly burning fat, but its main source of energy is glucose - ONLY the liver has an enzyme to export glucose for energy, otherwise muscles use their own store and cannot export it for use elsewhere - you would have to deplete your liver glycogen for body to switch to stored fat as primary source, and even so you would need an "adaptation" period for your body to eventually become used to burning fat as fuel (fully fat adapted). Excess weight can lead to insulin resistance which can lead to diabetes, which is why losing weight can help lower and even reverse IR and keep blood sugar in check. You only lose weight if you are on a calorie deficit - my first thought if I see unexpected weight loss that is noticeable would be cancer or tape worms, pre-diabetes would be the last on the list or not at all, because it is not common at all!!! Fatigue can also signal other issues like anemia, renal fatigue or other - excessive thirst and urination definitely a common symptom and you can confirm this with a urine test that shows glucose in your urine. Unless of course somoene has a condition where for some reason the liver is not storing glycogen correctly like WIlson's disease........ as far as feeling sleepy after a meal, it's not always a symptom of pre-diabetes, it's not uncommon if you eat a meal very high in protein and/or carbs, or high glycemic load / index foods. As far as eyes, your level of glucose would definitely need to be well above the pre-diabetic range for eye symptoms to start or blood vessel damage, many of those symptoms in your video would put people already well into the diabetic range as opposed to pre-diabetes range. The "pre" stage is mostly where you hover in the "borderline" and it is likely because you are insulin resistant due to overweight and bad habits. Testing not only for A1c but also insulin to glucose ratios is a good thing - which most people don't do, and most fraud of doctors don't suggest. insulin levels and insulin:glucose ratio tests can show long in advance, precursors to developing diabetes. Also the standard fasting glucose test ALONE is worthless, there are many things that can raise blood sugar to diabetic levels, even the stress on the day of the test is enough, which is why an A1c and insulin tests go a long way, what matters is the level of glycation over a period of time ! Even if you pass the pre stage and become diabetic ou can still reverse it, assuming it is of type 2 and your pancreas still works correctly, with exercise, proper eating habits AND most importantly losing excess weight and limiting amount of processed foods and REFINED carbs - can bring A1c significantly down - once you have solved the insulin resistance problem, it's all about your insulin eventually not being able to keep up with the glucose anymore, as simple as that.
You are correct that the symptoms mentioned in the video can have various causes, including other medical conditions. Regarding pre-diabetes, it's important to note that not everyone with pre-diabetes experiences the same symptoms or severity of symptoms. The symptoms discussed in the video are general indicators that may be present in some individuals with pre-diabetes but may not be present in all cases.
Thank you for sharing your insights on diabetes and its management.
My husband lost a huge amount of weight without dietary change just before he was diagnosed with diabetes, his Dr said it’s not an uncommon sign.
😮🙏👍❤
Test your insulin, A1C, then adopt a ketogenic diet of 50g of carbs ir less daily. You can eat delicious foods.
Thank you for taking the time to write all this.
BEAUTIFULLY EXPLAINED!!!!!!!
Glad you think so!
Thanks!
im 66, normal bodyweight, worked out weightlifting all my life and recently tested 6.1 a1c for prediabetes and it doesnt run in my family and no symptoms. i cut out all table sugar and quickly lost 10 pounds without wanting to lose weight.
Intermittent fasting is what you want to start doing
It's great that you're taking proactive steps to manage your prediabetes and make positive changes to your lifestyle. Losing weight and cutting out table sugar can have a significant impact on blood sugar levels and overall health.
Remember that everyone's response to dietary changes and blood sugar management can vary. If you have any concerns or questions, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs and medical history.
I'm 66 and what I read about you is identical to my lifestyle. I cut out booze, starchy food, lost 10 lbs (now 132 - was never fat - BMI 21)take Berberine and now my A1C is 5.3.
I lost 12-13 kgs after I knew about prediabetes. I did walking, left sugar and rice.
@@stuffreviews5343 since my last post i lost 30 pounds by cutting down on sugar and white bread but not eliminating them. my A1C went from 6.1 to 5.3. also riding bicycle fast pedaling everyday.
So helpful

This is awesome! Thanks!
Glad you like it!
Good information. I was pre-diabetic for a few months. I would get a warm feeling on the bottom of my feet. Luckily, my A1C levels are normal now.
That's great news that your A1C levels are now normal and that the warm feeling in your feet has resolved. It's important to manage prediabetes and take steps to improve blood sugar levels, as it can help prevent the development of diabetes in the future.
Regular monitoring, maintaining a healthy diet, staying physically active, and managing stress are all important factors in managing blood sugar levels. Keep up the good work, and continue to prioritize your health and well-being.
@DiabeticsTalk My mother developed Type 2 Diabetes, so I knew I was predisposed to it. People think your size has something to do with it, and it does not. I'm petite, so it was something I was eating, and I wasn't working out like I used to. I also know my body, so I make sure to listen to it.
Type 2 diabetes can often also be reversed completely. I’m not advocating waiting if you’re not yet diabetic, but if you are diabetic, it can be reversed, so don’t give up. A “balanced” diet is NOT helpful. Lower carb/keto/carnivore, no sugar, no processed food and no vegetable/seed oils IS helpful. Fasting, both time-restricted feeding and extended, is also very helpful in reversing insulin resistance and all symptoms, including type 2, of insulin resistance.
Considering about 88% of the American adult population has insulin resistance, and insulin resistance can be in place years, if not decades, before blood glucose is consistently high, please get your fasting insulin checked out, and not just glucose levels.
There are also many, many symptoms of insulin resistance (not just type 2): obesity, IBD, skin conditions, dementia, alzheimers, M.S., HBP, fatty liver, PCOS, dry eye, heart disease, cataracts, anxiety, depression, autoimmune, certain cancers, etc. So, if you have any of these things (any chronic disease), your insulin is probably high, and is a sign to lower it, so you don’t end up with other symptoms, including diabetes.
Thank you for sharing your insights and knowledge regarding diabetes and insulin resistance. Your message highlights important aspects of managing and potentially reversing type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance through dietary and lifestyle interventions.
It's true that many people have successfully managed and even reversed type 2 diabetes by adopting a lower-carb or ketogenic diet, avoiding processed foods, and making healthier lifestyle choices. Focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods and avoiding added sugars and unhealthy fats can indeed contribute to improved insulin sensitivity and better blood sugar control.
Intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding have also shown promise in improving insulin resistance and metabolic health. These approaches can help regulate insulin levels, improve fat metabolism, and support weight management.
It's important to emphasize the significance of getting proper medical advice and guidance when making significant dietary and lifestyle changes, especially for individuals with existing health conditions. Consulting healthcare professionals, including doctors and registered dietitians, is crucial to ensure that any changes align with an individual's unique health needs.
Additionally, recognizing the wide range of symptoms associated with insulin resistance underscores the importance of proactive health management. If someone is experiencing symptoms related to insulin resistance, it's a clear signal to address underlying issues and make necessary adjustments to improve overall health.
Thank you for sharing this valuable information with others who might benefit from understanding the role of insulin resistance in various health conditions. As always, individual responses to dietary and lifestyle changes can vary, so personalization and guidance from healthcare professionals are essential. 🌱🩸🏥
@@DiabeticsTalk - I appreciate you saying to seek medical advice, especially if there are underlying medical conditions or if there are medications that could cause issues as people get more metabolically healthy. The unfortunate piece about seeking medical advice is it is often counter to anything related to diet, fasting, and movement. It is usually here’s your diagnosis and here’s a pill to help cover over the symptoms.
I do think it’s vital to try and include medical professionals if they are willing. If not, try and find a new one or start very slowly. I mean, people absolutely CAN eliminate sugar, grains, and processed foods without talking to their doctor. And, most people can even limit the number of hours they take in food, when they start slowly. For example, if you’re eating from the time you wake up to the time you go to bed, wait an hour or two in the morning before you eat and then cut yourself off 2-3 hours before bed. See what else you can do.
There are also some CZcams doctors who do offer coaching and or 1-on-1 sessions to be able to, at least, get started, and they will refer you to your physician if they feel it’s necessary.
One type of person I would never go to, unless I know they are well versed in low carb/keto/carnivore, is a dietician. The people who started the dietetic association in the U.S. were vegans, and the people who sponsor these programs now are all from big food. Not to mention, the two doctors (Dr. Tim Noakes and Dr. Gary Fettke) who were silenced or brought to court for giving eat less sugar or eat low carb advice, were reported by dieticians. If anything, dieticians often work against the very advice that would bring health. I’ve come across a couple who “saw the light,” shall we say. Michelle Hurn, who wrote “The Dietician’s Dilemma,” and walks the talk herself, after having health issues herself, is a good one.
Awesome 😮😊
Thanks a lot
Happy to help!
I am 43 and am listed as a pre-diabetic.
-I have very slow healing.
-I sleep over 8 hours with sleep medication and I am still tired.
-I sweat a lot all the time so much so I am self conscious about it.
-I can't lost weight I gain from multiple back surgerys I had in 2021( 2 back, 1 wrist).
At times my vision is very good at times, but it seems to get very blurry at times.
-I have very shakey hands and feel like I am going to pass out or vomit at times.
-I do drink a lot of water then he to go a lot but still am thirsty.
I will see me Dr soon to ask about this.
Have you changed your diet and get some exercise ? I would try to avoid taken meds if all possible.
Mrj3217 is you feel low testosterone
If you don't have one, buy a glucometer. Fast for 12 hours and take your blood sugar. If it is over 126 for two days in a row, you are likely diabetic. I was like you a couple of years ago. Sweaty, shaky, blurry, fatigued, slow healing, thirsty, frequent urination, etc. I took my fasting blood sugar and for three days in a row, it was in the 150s. I immediately went low carb. My diet is mostly protein (meat, fish, poultry, eggs), nuts, seeds, veggies, and non-sweet fruits like tomatoes, avocado, berries. As long as I stick to the diet, I can maintain a normal bloodsugar without medication. I can even cheat once in a while on special occasions without messing up my blood sugar. However, if those treats occur too frequently, I am back to being diabetic because the more sugar/bread/pasta/rice that I eat, the more I crave it. It is easier to avoid it altogether because when you don't eat it, you stop craving it. Good luck.
Useful video!!
Glad you think so!
Well said. Thanks.
Hi , I have been diagnosed as a hypoglycaemic person and later as prediabetic. However the specialist doctor failed to address the underlying cause mentioned in Louise Hays book, "You can Heal Your Life". She describes it beautifully as "overwhelmed by the burdens in life, what's the use". At 70, tonight, I am looking back in my life to see a pattern of abuse even by my parents as they failed to nurture me in life skills. Consequently, everywhere I went in life I was used and abused into verry low self esteem and hopelessness. Ignorance and prejudice against me abounded every where I went. My life patterns were self defeating until now I recognise some of the signs mentioned here in my body and mind. THANKYOU. I am going to see if I can get some help.
I agree 100%. Some of it was due to our parents just nit knowing and also do to economic and social conditions, as well as marketing, we were fed inferior diets. Now that more is known, I hope the habits of “healthy living”, diet, exercise, sleep and as stress free a life as possible , is being instilled in children at as early an age as possible. As a physician can attest that the best treatment for disease is PREVENTION!
We're sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced in your life. It's important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. While Louise Hay's book may provide insights into the mind-body connection, it's essential to work with qualified healthcare professionals to address your medical condition.
Consider seeking support from a healthcare team that includes a medical doctor, therapist, or counselor who can help you navigate both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. They can assist you in developing a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and supports your overall well-being.
In addition to professional support, it can be beneficial to engage in self-care practices that promote emotional well-being, such as practicing mindfulness, engaging in activities you enjoy, building a support network of friends and loved ones, and exploring therapeutic techniques that resonate with you.
Remember, healing is a process, and it takes time. Be patient and compassionate with yourself as you embark on this journey.
@Petermatoli...sorry about the abuses you had, try to forgive those who abused you.... They did not know God if they did truly know the love of Jesus Christ they would not have treated you badly. Forgive them so you can forget the experiences and enjoy the perfect love of God and life. I wish you all the best!
So sad...but! Everyday is NEW...love father son holy ghost
@@DiabeticsTalk hello
Yep I have all symptoms listed except for weight loss 😂 but I've had mood swings and no energy my entire life even when I exercised daily.
It's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and guidance tailored to your specific situation. Take care!
My primary diagnosed me as pre-diabetic told me to change my diet, one month later I went for a eye exam and the nurse that takes your info. before the doctor comes in told me that there is no such thing as being pre-diabetic and told me that she was putting me down as being type two diabetic
According to my doctor many people can have pre-diabetes there entire life and it never goes into diabetes.
It is true that some individuals can remain in the pre-diabetes stage for an extended period without progressing to full-blown diabetes. Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not yet in the diabetic range.
With appropriate lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight, it is possible to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes in some cases.
However, it is important to note that pre-diabetes still carries an increased risk of developing diabetes and other health complications, so it's essential to monitor blood sugar levels regularly and follow any recommendations provided by your healthcare provider.
I always had some eye blur but last dmv told me need glasses.. eye Dr. Said my eyes were healthy. Wounds heal fast for me. Got a lot weight off, lowered blood pressure. I'm tired because I stay up late. Urinate a lot because I like to drink a lot because of depression great grandma told me that years ago age 11 12 or 13 may have diabetes im still living at 50. Not alcohol however. Jog since I was 20. Tingling in my left arm usually. Numbness in my foot because of injury because of climbing rails everyday pallets falling objects and like. Notice less tingling when more exercise were done. However could be something to watch out for.
@crafty Muligar, never allow yourself to be depressed. Stay away from people who make you depressed or who do not value your person. I noticed that watching local TV stations in my Country Nigeria increases my blood pressure, its been a year now U never watch them. So also attending weddings also make me very sad since my marriage broke down so I don't go to weddings. When I find a friend abusive or boastful I avoid the person and my life is sweet, only if I had some more money it would be sweeter. All the same I thank God for His love and providence.
It's great to hear that you've taken positive steps to improve your health, such as losing weight, lowering blood pressure, and staying physically active through jogging. However, some of the symptoms you've mentioned, such as eye blur, frequent urination, tingling in the left arm, and numbness in the foot, can also be associated with diabetes. While these symptoms can have other causes as well, they should not be ignored, especially considering your family history of diabetes.
Given your family history and some of the symptoms you've described, it's essential to be proactive about your health. I would strongly recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider or a primary care doctor for a comprehensive check-up. They can assess your overall health, perform relevant tests, and discuss your symptoms in detail. This will help determine if there are any underlying health issues, including diabetes, that need to be addressed.
Additionally, make sure to discuss your lifestyle, exercise habits, and any other factors that could be contributing to your symptoms. Your healthcare provider can provide guidance on how to further improve your health and address any potential concerns.
Remember that early detection and timely management of health conditions are crucial for maintaining overall well-being. Always prioritize your health and seek professional medical advice to address any health concerns you may have.
I had tingling x some numbness but it was only at night when lying down on my back w palpitations too sometimes. I get cramping in my feet or hands sometimes, I chalked it up to not enough water intake. I also have blurred vision sometimes as i kept getting sinusitis that caused itching in my eyes and light sensitivity driving at night. I did change my diet when the vision blues started at night, bc I’m used to having really good vision. I injured my back at Amazon x when I went to the doctor I was told after test it was muscle spasms, many spasms causing a pinched nerve in my upper shoulder/neck. After treatment the tingling/numbness at night stopped when lying on my back but I still get muscle cramping. I say this bc many of the things mentioned are connected to other issues but I am over weight, so while i don’t have all the experiences listed i’m still gonna get tested. thanks for the video.
It sounds like you've been through a lot, and we're glad the video provided some useful information. It's important to listen to your body and seek appropriate medical attention. Your symptoms may be related to various factors, and getting tested can help identify the underlying cause. Working with healthcare professionals will enable you to receive the proper diagnosis and guidance for managing your health concerns. Take care, and best of luck with your tests and ongoing care!
Get your B12 & D vitamins tested.
Magnesium and B-12 under tongue for tingling and cramping.
I had been diagnosed Pre diabetic only a few years ago but before that I was actually gaining weight. I don’t really eat a lot but that’s when my primary care noticing changes in lab values. My right eye has a gradual cloudiness that started later but I didn’t connect the dots. My father died of kidney failure from adult onset DM when he was only 65 yo . I believe exercise and balance low carb diet in small frequent feeds is the key , with extra supplements and necessary meds. Im on Metformin , and it made me loose weight.
Eye cloudiness can also be the beginnings of cataracts. My last visit to have my eyes checked last year showed early stage cataracts at age 66-67. My wife has had cataracts a few years or so and she is 2 years older than me. Cutting-back of sugar is never a bad idea. Getting=out for walks 4-5 times weekly is also good. Weight control is certainly important.
It’s important to not have many small meals but instead eat only once or twice a day and include some intermittend fasting. This way your gut can have a clean up and you don’t have constant insulin release. The body basically resets itself.
Frequent eating may trigger insulin increase from time to time to get rid of the sugar from food and deliver it into the cells. Doing this for a long time will lead you to develop INSULIN RESISTANCE which is very alarming
Wow I gained weight for the last several months as well. I got diagnosed Pre diabetic last week and I’m only 19 :/ I have to do more bloodwork as well.
I’m having a hard and boring time what to eat.
It explains why I get so tired easily, I get a tingling feeling on my hand and feet and also my right knee is already damage and it hasn’t heal over three years so yeah but overall this sucks.
I struggle a lot with my body it’s hard for me to lose weight.
I mostly eating more vegetables and sandwiches with healthier options and that’s pretty much what I’ve been eating.
Yesterday I was actually super super dizzy and it last almost 2 hours I could think straight and was walking a little wobbly and felt so tired.
I pray you feel better soon.
@@ashantiii1178, You better find a way to lose weight. You need to plan on finding a way to exercise 5 days per week to where you sweat as well. Walk and push weights. You are too young to be having such health problems at 20. Typically 40-50 is where problems start to show-up. Make the changes or be dead at mid-life. I take 3 fish capsols with my daily meals. Stay away from all processed forms of sugar as much as possible. My wife and I are in our late 60's. We buy pork and chicken when on sale. We also buy fruit and vegetables when on sale. Limit your bread intake to lunch. We prefer whole wheat and whole grain bread. We have started buying 5 dozen egg flats because the price of 12-18 eggs is too expensive. Find foods which do not aggravate your pre or worse diabetic situation.
😮 look gorgeous got too try
J’ai presque tous les symptômes du pré-diabète (amaigrissement involontaire rapide : environ 12 kg en moins d’1 mois 1/2), vue trouble, glycémie au-dessus de 10 à jeûn, bouche sèche et mixions fréquentes, endormissement1 ou 2 h après avoir mangé...par contre, j’ai une énergie INCROYABLE !
Tu va a changer quelques choses dans ton nutrition ? Tu fais du sport pour meilleure ton niveau de sucre dans ton corps ?
@@musicsansnotes en fait, une prise de sang à déterminé un double problème : des bactéries e-coli (eau non potable) dans l’intestin ET un début de maladie coeliaque, dûe à une intolérance au gluten.
J’ai donc cessé de manger du pain et des gâteaux (que je faisais moi-même) depuis environ 3 ans.
Je suis en Thaïlande...mon filtre à eau à ultra-violets était tombé en panne, et la farine de blé n’est pas bonne pour la santé.

I have PCOS and the blurred vision was something I experienced. I did not lose weight, I gained a lot of weight and was always fatigued. Working g to shape up and reverse pre diabetes.
I’m sorry to hear that. I wish you the best of luck. Try intermittent fasting. I stop eating by 9:00 pm (3 hours before I go to bed) and I don’t eat the next day until after noon (12pm).
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. PCOS can present various challenges, including weight gain, fatigue, and potential complications like pre-diabetes. It's great to hear that you're determined to shape up and reverse pre-diabetes.
Remember to consult with your healthcare team for personalized advice and guidance on managing PCOS and achieving your health goals. You're not alone in this journey, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
Keep up the positive efforts, and we wish you success in your endeavors!
i have PCOS. My issue always is, during excercise, I get very light headed , like i feel like im having low blood sugar, do you have any advise?
I have most of these symptoms but one that stands out the most dont think you mentioned I fall asleep everytime I eat starchy food like potatoes ,potatoe chips rice and pasta..it dosent matter what I'm doing or where I am I fall asleep ,when I wake up ,its like what happen I've learned it's called food coma which can mean I'm insulin resistance.....so if this is happens to anyone else get checked out , another thing I notice alot They say lose weight ,I'm very slim and have always been .so dont overlook the fact that people can be pre diabetic or have diabetics and not be over weight....
If you experience these symptoms consistently or have concerns about your health, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can perform tests, assess your symptoms, and provide appropriate guidance tailored to your individual situation. Remember, early detection and management are key to maintaining good health.
Thanks
I was always afraid of getting this because it was on my dad side but then later on I found out it was even on my mother's side I know it has attacked me with all of these symptoms 🙏🏾😟

We understand your concern and worry about being at risk for diabetes, especially if it runs in your family. Family history can indeed play a role in increasing the likelihood of developing certain conditions, including type 2 diabetes. However, it's essential to remember that genetics is just one factor, and lifestyle choices can also have a significant impact on your health.
While you may have some risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history, it doesn't mean that you are destined to develop the condition. Making positive lifestyle changes, such as adopting a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider, can all help reduce your risk of developing diabetes or manage the condition if you have it.
Awareness of your risk factors and taking proactive steps to live a healthy lifestyle can empower you to take control of your health and reduce the impact of any genetic predisposition. If you have concerns about your health or potential symptoms, I encourage you to speak with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your individual health history and risk factors. They can work with you to create a plan that addresses your specific needs and helps you achieve your health goals. Remember, knowledge is power, and taking charge of your health is a positive step in maintaining a healthy and fulfilling life.
Anyone can get it. Some are just more susceptible than others. Famines in the past have a lot to do with it.
A1C levels are 6.1. I just ordered a juicer and will juice myself to good health. Farewell, too fast food, and other deductibles.
Relax guys, it is a metabolic syndrome only, work out, gain muscle, adapt to good eating habits, avoid night outs, get off the diabetic allopathic medicines in less than six months. It is possible. All the best. No smoking, no weed ( increases hunger) no alcohol
I'm 32 and I been smoking weed since I was 17. Just quit cold turkey last week. Also been alcohol free for last 5 years or so. I'm finally a real adult I guess haha.
True!! I'm living proof type 2 diabetes can be reversed if you change your diet and get off your ass and exersize. I did it in less than 2 months! I'm 64 years old, so if I can do it, there's no excuse for a younger person!
@@overk1llz taking a break is 👍😊
Remember that everyone's journey and response to treatment may differ, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to have a tailored approach to managing metabolic syndrome and diabetes based on individual needs and ongoing monitoring and support from healthcare professionals.
U can smoke a little weed , like a joint per day.
Thank you for your useful information. What is the normal diabetes level
You're welcome! We're glad you found the information useful.
When we talk about diabetes levels, we are usually referring to blood glucose levels, which indicate the amount of sugar (glucose) present in the bloodstream. The normal blood glucose levels can vary depending on whether a person has eaten recently or is fasting. Here are the general guidelines for normal blood glucose levels:
Fasting Blood Glucose (measured after not eating or drinking anything except water for at least 8 hours):
Normal: 70-99 mg/dL (3.9-5.5 mmol/L)
Postprandial Blood Glucose (measured 1-2 hours after eating a meal):
Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and individual variations can occur. Additionally, the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and prediabetes are defined by medical organizations such as the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
For diabetes diagnosis:
Fasting Blood Glucose: 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher on two separate occasions.
Random Blood Glucose (taken at any time of the day without regard to meals): 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher, with classic diabetes symptoms.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT): 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher 2 hours after drinking a glucose-rich beverage.
If you suspect you might have diabetes or if you're concerned about your blood glucose levels, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can provide personalized guidance and recommend appropriate management strategies to maintain optimal health.
Thank
Like the info.Whats fasting blood sugar for pre diabeticcs typically ?
Fasting blood sugar levels can be used to diagnose and monitor pre-diabetes. The typical range for fasting blood sugar in pre-diabetes is:
Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG): FPG levels between 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L) and 125 mg/dL (6.9 mmol/L) are considered indicative of pre-diabetes.
Hemoglobin A1c (A1c): A1c levels between 5.7% and 6.4% are typically associated with pre-diabetes. A1c reflects the average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months.
It's important to note that these ranges may vary slightly depending on the reference values used by different medical organizations. Additionally, individual factors and circumstances should be taken into account when interpreting fasting blood sugar levels. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional are crucial for accurate diagnosis and management of pre-diabetes.
If you have concerns about your fasting blood sugar levels or suspect you may have pre-diabetes, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide appropriate testing, evaluation, and guidance based on your specific circumstances.
Three months ago my average blood sugar level is at 200+.
I was diagnosed as Diabetic(Type 2)
Now, with regular exercise, IF and removing sugary food from my diet, I was able to lower mu average blood sugar level. Its now 95-140
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR YOUR INFORMATIVE EYE OPENING USEFUL VIDEO ❤ I HAVE MOST OF THOSE SYMPTOMES BUT MY DOCTOR DIDN'T MENTION NOTHING EVERY TIME I GAVE BLOOD TEST . I DON'T USE REFIND SUGAR , MY SWEET IS COUPLE OF DATES A DAY ONE DARK CHOCOLATE ❤ ANY HINT PLEASE ❤
You're welcome! We're glad you found the video informative. If you have been experiencing most of the symptoms mentioned but your doctor hasn't addressed them, it may be helpful to have a conversation with your doctor specifically about your concerns regarding pre-diabetes or diabetes.
Here are a few hints you can consider:
Request specific tests: Ask your doctor to perform tests related to blood sugar levels, such as fasting glucose, A1c, and insulin levels. These tests can provide more insight into your blood sugar control and potential pre-diabetic or diabetic status.
Keep a symptom diary: Maintain a record of your symptoms, including when they occur, their severity, and any patterns you notice. This information can be valuable when discussing your concerns with your doctor.
Discuss your diet: Share details about your current diet with your doctor, including the consumption of dates and dark chocolate. While these choices may be healthier alternatives to refined sugar, they can still contribute to overall carbohydrate intake and affect blood sugar levels. Your doctor can provide guidance on moderation and suitable dietary adjustments.
Consider a second opinion: If you are still concerned and your doctor hasn't addressed your symptoms adequately, it might be worth seeking a second opinion from another healthcare professional. They may approach your symptoms and concerns from a different perspective.
Remember, it's important to consult with a qualified healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific health history and current condition.
Never did I have any of these symptoms as a pre diabetic.. now as a diabetic yes but not as a pre
Much relief after going through this stuff czcams.com/users/postUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.
While it's not possible to directly increase insulin production in the body naturally, there are strategies you can adopt to improve insulin sensitivity and optimize your body's response to insulin. Here are some lifestyle approaches that may help:
Regular physical activity: Engaging in regular exercise, such as aerobic activities, resistance training, or even brisk walking, can improve insulin sensitivity. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, as recommended by health guidelines.
Healthy diet: Focus on a balanced diet that includes whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Incorporate foods with a low glycemic index, as they have a gentler impact on blood sugar levels.
Portion control: Pay attention to portion sizes and avoid overeating. Controlling portion sizes can help manage blood sugar levels and optimize insulin utilization.
Manage stress: Chronic stress can affect insulin sensitivity. Incorporate stress-management techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in activities you enjoy to reduce stress levels.
Get enough sleep: Aim for adequate sleep each night, as sleep deprivation can affect insulin sensitivity. Strive for 7-9 hours of quality sleep consistently.
Maintain a healthy weight: If you are overweight or obese, losing excess weight can improve insulin sensitivity. Focus on gradual, sustainable weight loss through a combination of a balanced diet and regular exercise.
It's important to note that these lifestyle strategies can support overall health and improve insulin sensitivity but may not directly increase insulin production in individuals with Type 1 diabetes or severe insulin deficiency. In those cases, insulin replacement therapy is typically necessary.
Always consult with a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or a registered dietitian, who can provide personalized advice and guidance based on your specific health conditions and needs. They can help create a tailored plan to manage diabetes effectively.
The problem is lack of insulin absorption in the liver causing higher sugar levels in blood. To raise insulin keep eating crap food to help destroy your liver.
I had none of these, I was in perfect health till I got AZ, now I have most of them, but blood tests say 'No diabetes'.
There is no perfection. We have all of this all of us many times...have it...we try the best...but we cannot worry all the time if a foot is cold. Or if a pimple. Heals slow. We must love live. And live it.....
I was told im pre diabetic by a doctor than told by another doctor im not, i wasnt told how to cure myself or tale xare of myself but i try to stay active as much as possible
We understand that receiving conflicting information from different doctors can be confusing and frustrating. It's important to remember that pre-diabetes is a reversible condition, and taking proactive steps to manage your health can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
Here are some general guidelines that may help in managing pre-diabetes:
Healthy eating: Focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Limit your intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, and high-fat foods.
Regular physical activity: Engage in regular exercise or physical activity that you enjoy. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, spread out over several days. Additionally, incorporate strength training exercises to build muscle mass.
Weight management: If you are overweight or obese, losing even a small amount of weight (5-10% of your body weight) can have a positive impact on your blood sugar levels.
Monitor blood sugar levels: Regularly check your blood sugar levels at home using a glucose meter, as advised by your healthcare provider. This can help you understand how your body responds to different foods and activities.
Stress management: Find healthy ways to manage stress, such as practicing relaxation techniques, engaging in hobbies, or seeking support from friends and family.
Regular check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your health, discuss any concerns, and receive appropriate guidance.
It's important to work closely with a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation. They can help you create a plan tailored to your needs and monitor your progress over time.
Blood sugar can go up or down. Your blood sugar was probably high with your first doc and then came down when you went to your second doc.
I drink a lot of water not because I'm thirsty but to keep hydrated.
Staying hydrated is important for overall health, and drinking an adequate amount of water is recommended for everyone, including those with or without diabetes. Drinking water helps maintain proper bodily functions, supports digestion, regulates body temperature, and aids in transporting nutrients and oxygen to cells.
If you feel the need to drink a lot of water throughout the day to stay hydrated, it's generally a good practice. It's important to listen to your body and drink when you feel thirsty, as thirst is a natural indicator of your body's need for fluids. However, it's also essential to strike a balance and not overhydrate, as excessive water intake can lead to a condition called water intoxication or hyponatremia.
If you have concerns about your hydration levels or if you are experiencing excessive thirst or frequent urination, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to ensure that there are no underlying medical conditions that need attention.
Remember, individual hydration needs may vary, so it's important to pay attention to your body's signals and maintain a balanced approach to hydration.
You only need to drink when your thirsty and the food you it has water as well
Thanks sis....I have a increase thirst and slow healing small wound sign....I manage to increase wound healing by eating salty food and drinking less but my water intake never change...now I need to take it slow in terms of eating ice cream...☹️☹️😰😰😭😭
We're sorry to hear about your increased thirst and slow healing wound. It's important to address these symptoms and manage them properly. It's good that you noticed an improvement in wound healing by adjusting your diet, but it's essential to maintain a balanced approach.
To better understand your symptoms and their underlying causes, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or your doctor. They can provide a proper evaluation, diagnose any potential issues, and offer appropriate guidance for managing your symptoms effectively.
Remember, it's crucial to prioritize your health and seek professional advice to ensure you're taking the right steps towards managing your condition.
Too much salt may not be beneficial due to high blood pressure- hypertension
What's your opinion about the fact that my doctor only talks about a low fat diet as a means to combat pre-diabetes, and doesn't think carbohydrates is anything to worry about?
Unfortunately, this video is not completely accurate. Degreed and State licensed nutritionists provide accurate lists of foods to avoid to prevent diabetes. Top on their lists are: wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, carrots, peas, and sweet potatoes. These metabolize rapidly to sugar. People are often aware they need to limit diet, but turning to veggies that rapidly metabolize to sugar is NOT helpful in reducing blood sugar.
It can take years to convince the body to accept big salads as substitutes for pizza, bread/sandwiches, and pasta based meal plans. But if one keeps substituting salads and good vegetables for the starchy carbs, the body does learn that fiber and nutrition can be more satisfying when starchy carbs are phased out.
What happens when starchy carbs and sugary foods are eliminated from the meal plans and snacks is that hunger goes DOWN. A person can start feeling full when eating half as much as before. This marks the defeat of insulin resistance and the calories being rated again being readily accessible to cells to burn off as energy.
People have to learn to tolerate the years of transition away from starchy carbs and sugary foods BOTH.
Low sugar Greek yogurt becomes the substitute for ice cream and milkshakes. To avoid kidney stones, people need dairy if eating nuts and spinach and other foods that cause kidney stones to mineralize and grow. Kidney stones are VERY expensive and just as painful physically as economically.
The loss of vision from diabetes can be very gradual, so can the risk of loosing toes and the risk of requiring 3 dialysis sessions a week to stay alive.
People in affluent nations have a choice between satisfying the taste buds or protecting vision, toes, and overall blood health.
The body can recalibrate to where a few berries are just as satisfying psychologically as eating half a pizza or a third of a pie or third of a cheesecake.
One has to reach the point where keeping vision and toes and avoiding dialysis is as important to the person as indulging the tongue.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on diabetes and nutrition. It's true that there are varying opinions on what foods to avoid or limit when managing diabetes. However, it's important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to managing diabetes, and nutrition recommendations should be tailored to individual needs and preferences. Consulting with a licensed healthcare professional, including a registered dietitian or certified diabetes educator, can help individuals develop a personalized plan that fits their specific needs and goals.
"Degreed and State licensed nutritionists provide accurate lists of foods to avoid to prevent diabetes. Top on their lists are: wheat, rice, corn, potatoes, carrots, peas, and sweet potatoes." I wouldn't trust the nutritionist that gave you that list. Those are very healthy foods and they will not cause any disease whatsoever. In terms of the wheat, choose whole grain, preferably intact wheat berries. In terms of the rice I would ideally choose brown, black or red rice when you can.
Well said. I have been mostly avoiding bread, rice, pasta and potato plus limit my sugar intake to the very occasional small treat. At first I could not believe that I would not get hungry but it’s amazing how a big salad of healthy greens with avocado, tomato and other healthy ingredients can actually leave me completely satisfied for 16-18 hours. Try it.
Would never believe what a dietician tells me.
Well said 👏👏
Some good points but I am not able to eat a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables due to intestinal issues.
*You Did Not Choose To Be Classified As Diabetic, But You Can Choose To Fight Back Against Diabetes* 💪
You're right. Diabetes is not a choice, but we can choose how we respond to it. Taking proactive steps to manage the condition can help us live full and healthy lives.
I don't mean to be rude I just don't follow. Aren't you making the choice each time you decide to eat something that could contribute to it?
Yes you did when you ate all that junk food and getting fat!!!!
Wait, my Doc told me diabetes (type 2) is essentially a lifestyle-caused condition, so isn't it indeed a choice? Please explain.
@@ashtonroberts1175 Yes.
Rapid weight loss isn’t typically associated with pre-diabetes. You can already be diabetic. Thanks doctors for your “care” in diabetes prevention.
Can someone help answer my question please?? Almost two years ago I got blood work and my A1C was 7.9….. Now after almost two years of medication (Mounjaro) and losing 45 pounds my A1C is 5.4 and I am no longer on meds. My question is, am I still diabetic?? If my A1C stays at 5.4 will my body still be receiving the damage that diabetes causes?? Thank you for any replies.
Thank you I have one criticism too much talk. Get to the meat Of the matter. I have ADD thank you again.😊
Thank you for your feedback. We will keep that in mind and strive to be more concise in my future videos. If you have any specific questions or concerns about diabetes or related topics, please let us know and we will do our best to provide a clear and informative response.
keep your potassium in check, like eating foods with potassium.
THIS WILL ALSO BE GOOD FOR NON-PREDISBETEICS
I'm a pre diabetic but how can I reverse it and I need some advise the could help me
These are full-blown diabetes symptoms being talked about here, not pre-diabetes.
We're sorry if there was any confusion in the video regarding the symptoms of diabetes versus prediabetes. While both prediabetes and diabetes share some common symptoms, such as increased thirst and frequent urination, it's important to note that the symptoms of diabetes are typically more severe and can include weight loss, blurred vision, and slow wound healing.
We are hoping that this guides the viewers that if they're experiencing any symptoms of diabetes, it's important to speak with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation, diagnosis, and management.
Additionally, regular check-ups and blood glucose monitoring can help to identify prediabetes and prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
I totally disagree with you. I am a pre diabetic and I was having some tingling in my feet and hands sometimes and couldn't figure out why until my doctor taken blood work. I am pre diabetic with cholesterol levels of 185 in February 2023. Taken blood work again in March 2023 and my cholesterol levels dropped to 177 which is better. My goal is to continue to eat my vegetables and greens and to eat healthier. I do experience skin irritation, itchiness and frequent urinations, as well as being thirsty with a lot of water intake. I would drank like bottles of water and consistently run to the bathroom. Since being on an vegetable and fruit diet my water intake has drastically changed and I am not as thirsty as I was. The tingling in my feet seem to subside too. You don't have to be full blown diabetes to experience the pre signs. Either way, it's all in changing your eating habits and paying attention to your body. I used to eat bags of chips like crazy, my favorite and now I don't eat chips at all. I went cold turkey asap, no question. I am so afraid of heart disease, diabetes mellitus and other diseases that I can prevent. i ain't playing, I listen to my doctor. You only get one chance in life and taking care of your only body.
I have all of these symptoms
If you are experiencing skin symptoms that are associated with diabetes, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Only a healthcare professional can properly diagnose the cause of your symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment.
Be sure to schedule an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and any concerns you may have. They will be able to evaluate your specific situation and provide you with the necessary guidance and treatment options.
Hi what if you experience these symptoms,they go away on there own even when eating carbs and sweet things and then they come back. I’ve had this symptoms on and off through the years..
Experiencing symptoms that come and go over the years, including symptoms related to the consumption of carbs and sweet foods, can be a cause for concern. While I'm an AI language model and not a healthcare professional, I can offer some general insights.
It's important to recognize that symptoms can vary for each individual, and they can also be influenced by various factors, including diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and overall health. The intermittent nature of your symptoms suggests that there may be underlying fluctuations in your body's response to certain foods.
If you have concerns about these symptoms, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional who can evaluate your situation thoroughly. They may recommend conducting tests, monitoring your blood sugar levels, or other diagnostic measures to help identify any underlying conditions or patterns.
Remember, it's always better to address potential health issues sooner rather than later. A healthcare professional can provide you with personalized guidance, considering your specific symptoms, medical history, and other factors that may contribute to your experiences.
How many of these eight symptoms are needed? Old age increases all occurrences of these symptoms, in my opinion, from myself and my elderly associates.
My doctor said that currently my body is prediabetic. It was that for a while, until my wife directed my food away from factory foods. Grapes are in session right now in Australia, but this is probably causing my summer inn blood sugar.
Now I will purchase the blood sugar level device, via the pin pricks. The other low priced device was a smartwatch ($70 AUD) which did not require any real blood test. Correlating this with the blood glucose meter will verify the new smartwatch.
The number of symptoms needed to indicate diabetes can vary, as it depends on the individual and the severity of their symptoms. However, in general, a diagnosis of diabetes is based on a combination of factors, including symptoms, blood sugar levels, and other laboratory tests.
It's true that some of the symptoms of diabetes, such as fatigue and frequent urination, can also occur in older adults due to factors such as age-related changes in metabolism or medication side effects. However, it's important to pay attention to any new or persistent symptoms and discuss them with a healthcare provider, especially if you have other risk factors for diabetes, such as a family history of the condition or being overweight.
Monitoring blood sugar levels at home can be a helpful tool in managing prediabetes or diabetes, as it can provide insight into how diet, exercise, and other lifestyle factors are impacting blood sugar levels. There are several types of blood glucose meters available on the market, including those that require pin pricks and those that use alternative methods such as smartwatches or continuous glucose monitors. It's important to choose a device that is accurate and reliable, and to work with a healthcare provider to interpret the results and develop a personalized management plan.
Blood sugar tests are a money grab and NOT a great disease deterrent. A HOMA IR test, a $20 add on to typical blood tests, is a better indicator of impending diabetes.
Blood sugar tests are like the water leak in the ceiling of a home. By the time the water shows up there, a lot of water damage has been occuring somewhere else. We needed to nip it in the bud a while ago.
Regarding diabetes, we need to change our diets immediately.
Old age is basically inflammaging. Aging from inflammation. You should expect to get all these ailments when aging, shouldn’t expect to be healthy whilst aging. Lifestyle and decades of poor information just made everyone think this is how aging is when it's not. If you want to believe that then age badly when many others are aging well still very active and enjoying life and others trying to. The rhetoric has always fed the big pharmaceuticals and food industry whilst we are part of the cycle in the money making at our health's expense. Take control of your life today and don't eat for just taste (the taste buds whilst ignoring what your important organ needs) feeding both industries whilst killing yourself.
#2 increased thirst and urination - this is a common misnomer and is NOT an early warning sign. This symptom occurs in the more advanced stages of prediabetes.
It's important to note that individual experiences may vary, and some people may still experience these symptoms during the prediabetes stage. However, the key hallmark of prediabetes is higher than normal blood sugar levels without meeting the criteria for a diabetes diagnosis.
Prediabetes is often detected through blood tests, such as the A1C test or fasting plasma glucose test. If you are concerned about your symptoms or have questions about prediabetes, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide you with accurate information and guidance based on your specific situation.
@@DiabeticsTalk if you read my comment properly I said it is a symptom during the prediabetic stage, albeit in the more advanced stages. #2 is not an early warning sign, which is my point. In the early stages, the vast majority of people experience no symptoms.
Hi,great content.my friend has hypoglycemia,does this mean he has diabetics.
Hypoglycemia and diabetes are related to blood sugar levels, but they are different conditions.
Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels drop to abnormally low levels. It can happen in people with diabetes who take medications that lower blood sugar, but it can also occur in people without diabetes. Common causes of hypoglycemia include skipping meals, excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, and medical conditions that affect the body's ability to regulate blood sugar.
Diabetes, on the other hand, is a chronic condition where the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or can't effectively use the insulin it produces. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes, which is usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood and requires insulin treatment, and Type 2 diabetes, which is often associated with lifestyle factors and can sometimes be managed with dietary changes, exercise, and medications.
While hypoglycemia and diabetes are distinct conditions, they both involve issues with blood sugar regulation. If your friend is experiencing symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as shakiness, sweating, confusion, or rapid heartbeat, it's important for them to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management. If your friend is concerned about their health, they should seek medical advice to determine the underlying cause of their symptoms and receive appropriate guidance.
@@DiabeticsTalk thank you so much for your reply,very informative.
When you have Type 2 diabetes there's never any weight loss. I have diabetes now for 15 yrs. With fasting I've lost 31 pounds and gave 24 to go. I never experienced weight loss. If you're diabetic that means you have a diet issue meaning you can't stop eating specially processed sugar.
We understand your personal experience, but we would like to clarify that weight loss can indeed occur in individuals with Type 2 diabetes. In fact, weight loss is often recommended as a part of managing diabetes and improving overall health. Losing weight can help improve insulin sensitivity, blood sugar control, and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes.
While some individuals may struggle with weight loss due to various factors, including dietary choices and insulin resistance, it is not accurate to say that weight loss never occurs in Type 2 diabetes.
It's important to work with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance on diet, exercise, and weight management strategies tailored to your specific needs and goals.
A symptom of Type 2 diabetes is weight. A symptom of Type 2 diabetes is weight gain. Which is it? I think Julia Montalvo is right.
I lost weight
Type 1 - lose weight. Type2- weight gain
I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment, if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply
Is the feeling of itch on arms and legs sign of diabetic too.
Itching on arms and legs can be a symptom of diabetes, but it is not a definitive sign of the condition on its own. Itching is a common skin condition that can be caused by various factors, including dry skin, allergies, or skin infections. However, in some cases, itching can be a symptom of diabetes, especially if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, or slow-healing sores or cuts.
If you are experiencing persistent itching on your arms and legs, it is recommended that you speak to a healthcare professional who can help you determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
I wouldn't say weight loss is so much as one of the Factors bc Many people do not Loose Weight until put on Insulin Meds or Pre Diabetic Diet
You're right, weight loss is not the only factor in managing type 2 diabetes. While it can be helpful for some individuals, other factors such as medication, dietary changes, physical activity, and overall lifestyle modifications also play important roles in managing blood sugar levels effectively. It's important to work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized plan based on individual needs.
Actually in my view ,to really control diabetic you have to live like a monkey,so playful, happy, eating a lot of leaves and vegetables.
Remember, while diet and lifestyle play crucial roles in diabetes management, it's important to follow medical advice, monitor blood sugar levels regularly, take prescribed medications as directed, and maintain open communication with your healthcare team.
Ultimately, the goal is to find a balance that promotes your health, happiness, and well-being while effectively managing your diabetes.

I’ve been diagnosed as Pre-diabetic, is this considered to be type 1? Thanks
Pre-diabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. It is a precursor to type 2 diabetes, which is the most common type of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is a separate condition that occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, leading to a complete lack of insulin in the body.
To answer your question, pre-diabetes is not considered to be type 1 diabetes. If you have been diagnosed as pre-diabetic, it means you have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but you may be able to prevent or delay its onset by making lifestyle changes such as adopting a healthy diet and increasing physical activity. It's important to work with your healthcare provider to develop a plan to manage your pre-diabetes and prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Neuropathy is one of the long-term complications of diabetes. Over time, high blood glucose (sugar) levels can damage the small blood vessels that supply the nerves in your body. This stops essential nutrients reaching the nerves. As a result, the nerve fibres can become damaged, and they may disappear.
That's correct. Neuropathy is a common long-term complication of diabetes. Persistently high blood sugar levels can lead to damage to the nerves, particularly the small blood vessels that supply them. This can result in symptoms such as numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness in the affected areas. It's important for individuals with diabetes to manage their blood sugar levels effectively and to work with their healthcare team to prevent or manage complications like neuropathy. Regular check-ups and proper diabetes management can help reduce the risk and progression of neuropathy.
I have been prediabetic for decades
If you have been diagnosed as prediabetic for decades, it's important to continue managing your condition and taking proactive steps to prevent the progression to type 2 diabetes. Here are a few key strategies you can consider:
Healthy Diet: Focus on consuming a balanced diet that is low in refined sugars and carbohydrates, and rich in fiber, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Portion control and mindful eating can also be helpful.
Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity to improve insulin sensitivity and maintain a healthy weight. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, along with strength training exercises.
Weight Management: If you are overweight or obese, losing weight can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Work with a healthcare professional to develop a personalized weight management plan.
Regular Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor your blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and overall health. This will allow for early detection and intervention if necessary.
Medication and Supplements: Depending on your specific situation, your healthcare provider may prescribe medications or recommend certain supplements to help manage your prediabetes. Follow their guidance and take any prescribed medications as directed.
Stress Management: Chronic stress can impact blood sugar levels and overall health. Explore stress-reducing techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in activities you enjoy.
Remember, each individual's situation is unique, so it's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to develop a comprehensive plan tailored to your needs. They can provide you with personalized guidance, monitor your progress, and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.
My sugar levels sometimes go high but not to high borderline level
do Erectyle dysfunction occur in pre-diabetes?
You are advertising recipe books for bread, rice, and pasta, yet your video advocates abstaining from those prediabetic causing foods.
We understand your concern. While we offer recipe books that include bread, rice, and pasta, it's important to note that dietary recommendations for prediabetes or diabetes management can vary for each individual. Some people may benefit from reducing or moderating their intake of these foods, while others may be able to incorporate them in a balanced way.
It's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian who can provide personalized guidance based on your specific needs and health condition.
Our recipe books aim to provide a wide range of options for different dietary preferences, but it's important to make informed choices based on your individual situation.
Thank you for bringing this up, and we encourage you to prioritize your health and work with a professional to determine the best approach for you.
what about blurred vision and frequent urination i have thos two symptoms only with occasional thirstyness
We're not a doctor, but we can offer some general information that might help. Blurred vision and frequent urination can be symptoms associated with diabetes. The excess sugar in your bloodstream can lead to changes in your vision and increase the need to urinate frequently. Occasional thirstiness could also be linked to this.
However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. They can perform tests to determine if diabetes or another health issue is the cause of your symptoms. Early detection and management of diabetes are crucial for maintaining your overall health, so I recommend scheduling an appointment with a healthcare provider as soon as possible. They can provide you with personalized guidance and treatment options based on your specific situation.
I Have always eaten healthy never smoked nor drank more than a glass of fizz at a function,do yoga and walk a lot, swim and run around after three active grandsons! And three weeks ago got diagnosed with Type 2 …go figure that out!
If you eat a lot of veg, cereal or bread, they are full of carbs/sugar.
I'm in pre diabetes stage I have some symptoms but I feel like my doctor is taking no notice they are putting it down has other things
1 feeling tired(not sleeping put it down to pre menopause)
2 hands and feet sometimes being cold
3 having infection ie thursh sometimes burning when I go to the toilet
4 sometimes my sugar levels and blood pressure high
It's important to advocate for your health and ensure that your concerns are properly addressed. If you suspect that you may be experiencing symptoms related to pre-diabetes, it's recommended to communicate your concerns with your doctor and request a thorough evaluation. Here are a few steps you can take:
Express your concerns: Clearly communicate your symptoms and how they are affecting your daily life. Share your specific worries about pre-diabetes and request further evaluation.
Request appropriate tests: Ask your doctor for specific tests related to pre-diabetes, such as a fasting blood glucose test or an oral glucose tolerance test. These tests can help determine your blood sugar levels and identify if pre-diabetes is present.
Seek a second opinion: If you feel that your concerns are not being adequately addressed by your current doctor, consider seeking a second opinion from another healthcare professional. They may provide a fresh perspective and offer further evaluation and guidance.
Lifestyle modifications: While awaiting a definitive diagnosis, you can start making positive lifestyle changes. Focus on maintaining a balanced and healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.
Remember, it's essential to work closely with your healthcare provider to receive appropriate guidance and support. They can help you navigate your symptoms and develop a personalized plan to manage your health effectively.
Yes I feel the same
Cinamon eating reduces sugar
I want to educate myself on this!
Basically, just eat very low carb. No problem
I wonder if losing balance from time to time is a symptom of diabetes?
Could be. If you have numbness in your feet, for example. Or it could be a sign of hypoglycemia, low blood sugar.
Losing balance from time to time is not a typical symptom of diabetes. However, diabetes can cause nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, which can affect the nerves that control movement and balance. This can result in difficulty with coordination, balance, and walking, especially in the feet and legs.
Other symptoms of diabetic neuropathy may include numbness, tingling, or pain in the affected areas. It's important to note that there are many possible causes of balance issues, and a healthcare provider should be consulted to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment plan. If you have concerns about your balance or other symptoms related to diabetes, it's important to speak with your healthcare provider.
See your doctor. Loosing balance can be so many things. It can be your equilibrium is off key. I don't second guess, see your doctor. There are so many sneaky little things that can control your body and you have no clue of.
All very interesting re balance, my balance has been off for a few years, so much so I can no longer ride my push bike, I have taken serious falls (thankfully wearing a bicycle helmet) falling on rocks beside the track - that shook me up and haven’t ridden since 🥴

Eat more fermented foods. Eat snacks in moderation. Prayer and Fasting could heal all types of health issues.
Fasting is the best cure for diabetes! 😉 I don't have diabetes but after 7 days of Fasting I feel so much better.
Including fermented foods in your diet can have potential benefits for gut health, as they contain beneficial bacteria that support a healthy microbiome. These foods include yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, kimchi, and kombucha, among others. However, it's important to note that while fermented foods can be a part of a healthy diet, they alone may not be a cure-all for health issues.
Eating snacks in moderation is generally recommended as part of a balanced diet. It's important to choose nutritious snacks that provide energy and essential nutrients without excessive added sugars, unhealthy fats, or excessive calorie intake.
Prayer and fasting have been practiced in various cultures and religious traditions for spiritual and personal reasons. While some individuals believe in the potential health benefits associated with prayer and fasting, it's important to note that scientific evidence on their specific healing effects is limited and varies depending on the condition.
It's crucial to approach health issues with a comprehensive approach that includes proper medical care, a balanced diet, regular physical activity, stress management, and other evidence-based strategies. Consulting with healthcare professionals and following their recommendations is key to addressing specific health concerns effectively.
I know I don’t have diabetes but I think that it’s easier to get it if you have a fast metabolism because you don’t gain weight when you eat junk food. I have a very fast metabolism so I have to watch what I eat, a normal person will gain weight when they eat junk food and clean up their diet so they can lose weight. I can eat whatever I want and not gain weight, so I have to be more conscious of what I’m eating.
