Have you heard your Pre-Diabetes: "Check Engine" Warning Light

Your automobile has an early detection process & so does your body. Take 3 minutes to read this article & learn how you can save yourself a life time of aches, pains, & expensive medical bills.

Have you ever had the "Check Engine" warning light come on in your automobile? Most newer cars have a process that monitors the performance of your automobile. If something is not working properly, the "Check Engine" light usually comes on.

The nice news is that this "pre-warning" process can help you avoid expensive damage, which may be occurring with your vehicle, by detecting tiny problems before they become sizable problems. However, the only way to be sure is to have your automobile inspected by an expert mechanic when the "Check Engine" light comes on.

Did you know that your body has a "pre-warning" process?

With lots of diseases, your body will start producing symptoms such as aches, pains, fatigue, frequent thirst, & so on. These symptoms are your body's "Check Engine" light, warning you about problems.

However, with diabetes, pre-warning signs don't always show up so easily. The medical community is calling it: Pre-Diabetes.

Today, roughly 41 million Americans have pre-diabetes which left undetected & untreated, progresses in to full-blown diabetes.

The challenge with pre-diabetes is the fact that the condition doesn't like to reveal itself with noticeable symptoms. Because there's few, if any symptoms, most people won't bother having screening tests performed. With pre-diabetes, noticeable symptoms like frequent thirst & urination may not occur until the disease has progressed & is already causing considerable damage to your body. Most Type 2 diabetics don't have symptoms because the onset of diabetes is so slow.

Don't wait for your "Check Engine" light to come on. Have your blood tested. Call your doctor today & make the appointment.

The aim with identifying pre-diabetes is to prevent the onset of diabetes from ever happening.

Your physician can decide if you have pre-diabetes with four common tests. The fasting plasma glucose check (FPG) & the oral glucose tolerance check (OGTT). Both need an overnight speedy.

The nice news is that you can greatly improve your odds & likely prevent diabetes with early detection & proper care.

Don't wait 'til it hurts. Ask your doctor about diabetes & have your blood sugar checked several times a year.
