================== ARTICLE START ==================

The symptoms of adult diabetes are symptoms that should be

recognized. Recognizing a symptom or sign for diabetes is

important because diabetes is a condition that can be

life-threatening. Diabetes is a disease where high levels of

sugar in the blood exist, creating a symptom or sign for

diabetes. Diabetes can be caused by too little insulin in the

body, by the inability to use insulin or both of these. Insulin

is a hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar

levels. About 17 million persons in the USA suffer from

symptoms of adult diabetes.

Diabetes consist of three main types:

* Type 1 Diabetes - is usually diagnosed in childhood. The body

makes very little or no insulin, and daily injections of insulin

are required to keep the person alive.

* Type 2 Diabetes - accounts for about 90% of all cases of

diabetes and usually occurs in adults. The pancreas do not make

enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, frequently

because the body does not use the insulin produced very well.

Symptoms of adult diabetes and Type 2 diabetes is becoming more

common with the increasing number of elderly Americans, with the

failure to exercise and increasing obesity rates.

* Gestational Diabetes - is high blood glucose that develops

during pregnancy in a woman who does not have diabetes.

Here are the most common Type 2 symptoms of adult diabetes:

1. Blurred Vision

2. Fatigue

3. Impotence In Men

4. Increased Appetite

5. Increased Thirst

6. Infections That Heal Slowly

7. More Frequent Urination

How does one know if symptoms of adult diabetes that are being

experienced are actually indicating diabetes? The best way is

to do a blood test called the fasting blood glucose level test.

Diabetes is diagnosed if this test shows blood glucose is higher

than 126 mg/dL on two different tests. If levels are between 100

and 126 mg/dL, this condition will be referred to as impaired

fasting glucose or prediabetes and should be considered a risk

factor for Type 2 diabetes.

What does one attempt to do for stabilizing blood sugar levels

and diabetes? While there is no cure for diabetes, the

immediate objectives are to stabilize blood sugar and eliminate

any symptom or sign for diabetes and high blood sugar.

Long-term, the goals of treatment are to prolong ones life, to

relieve symptoms of adult diabetes and prevent long-term

complications that may result such as heart disease and kidney

failure.

A person with symptoms of adult diabetes should work closely

with their physician to keep blood sugar levels within

acceptable ranges. In addition, the more you understand a

symptom or sign for diabetes and how to treat it, the more

proactive you can become in making lifestyle changes that will

improve your health. Besides oral medications, the good news is

that Type 2 diabetes may respond to treatment with exercise,

diet improvements and weight management.
