Prediabetes usually starts very slowly in people, and then only becomes visible when some symptoms are evident. The truth is, though, that you may get prediabetes long before you are ever aware of it.
At some point in your life, the amount of sugar that remains in your blood changes. Instead of returning to normal sugar levels rather quickly after you eat, the sugar is retained longer in your bloodstream.
Generally, this means that you begin to get tired quicker. Your energy levels start to decrease because the energy that your cells and organs need to function properly is not being transferred from the bloodstream to where it needs to go.
In the case of Type I diabetes, this will usually start suddenly. Most likely, it will only be detected when someone has to go to the hospital for serious sugar problems. The good news is that most people will not get Type I diabetes (also called children’s diabetes) because that is when it usually becomes evident.
A lot of people wonder why prediabetes is such a concern. They have not looked into the matter and seem content to
just keep on going as usual - in spite of the doctor’s warning.
Of course, when a doctor gives a warning, some heed should be taken. When I was first told my sugar was high, I thought very little about it. I noted it mentally, but did nothing. Unfortunately, that was a foolish move. Later, I began to learn what it actually meant. I was surprised and wished I had taken it seriously earlier than what I did.
One thing that could be happening when prediabetic conditions are present is that there is an increase in triglyceride levels. This leads to the development of heart disease in many cases. Even worse is the strong possibility of damage to your heart and your arteries. That also encourages heart disease and eventual stroke, too.
Other problems are also occurring, many of them related to problems that are typical among diabetics. As you can see, the problems do not start only when you are declared to have diabetes. The important thing is to begin taking preventive action at once. After all, no one wants the problems diabetics’ face if they do not have to have them. Wouldn’t you like to start… Here is the rest of the article and the complications of prediabetes
By now you have probably heard the various headlines that talk about how Americans (and other nations, too) are rapidly putting on the pounds. This is leading to all kinds of increased health problems - including prediabetes.
It is estimated that over 54 million people in this country have prediabetes. Even more serious than that is the belief by doctors that at least 21 million people have the condition and do not even know it. They have never been diagnosed for it.
Prediabetes can easily go undetected for years, leading many millions of people to wrongly believe that they do not have it. Unfortunately, the life style of most people continues to support the conditions needed to bring on full-blown diabetes - years earlier than may otherwise occur.
What many people do not know is that prediabetes may be present without any symptoms whatsoever. Have you ever wondered if you might be headed toward getting diabetesWhile we all can say hopefully not, do you know what the symptoms of diabetes are - even if you had some? Are you one of the people… Read the rest here
In Type II diabetes, there is a condition that is referred to as insulin resistance. This simply means that the insulin you have is not as effective as it should be.
The good thing here is that there still is insulin being produced. If you were not able to produce it, your body would need insulin injections immediately - and from then on. The problem is that the insulin is not doing the job it is supposed to do.
When this happens, it causes the sugar in your blood stream to stay in your blood stream much longer than it should. Your muscles and organs will not receive their energy from it. In order to compensate for the additional sugar, your body will produce more insulin than normally would be required.
The extra insulin and the maintained higher sugar levels will start to cause damage. All of your organs are affected by it, and soon begin to deteriorate. Also, the increased production of insulin soon wears out your insulin producing cells and they soon stop - that is when you have full-blown diabetes.
While it does not happen overnight, by doing nothing about your prediabetes, you are guaranteeing that you will have it before long. Why take that risk, or play with… To read the rest of What is insulin resistance follow this link.

If you or someone you love has recently been told by a doctor that you now have prediabetes, then it is possible that you may not have heard that term before. It is a rather new medical term, although it refers to a condition that has been around for millennia. It used to be, when doctors found that someone had a little too much sugar in their blood, that they were told things like: “Your sugar is high”; “You have a touch of sugar;” or something similar.
While that sounded sweet and good, it really did not help patients to understand what the problem was. Of course when a doctor does not make something real clear, then medical advice often goes unheeded.
In order to remedy this problem, doctors wanted a term that would put a little fear into their patients when they heard of this condition. Instead of something that sounds kind of sweet, now you have the term “prediabetes” - which indeed carries an attention-getting tone to it.
The word “prediabetes” means that you are on your way to getting diabetes. You may be wondering, though, What should you do about it? Or, Is there a best course of action to take to reduce your risk further of getting diabetes? What about a special diabetic diet? Will insulin be necessary?
There is a good chance that you could avoid diabetes altogether - if you act quickly. In order to take the guesswork out of what you need to do, I’d like to show you how to defeat it in my new comprehensive Ebook on Prediabetes. With very practical steps and loads of great tips, I will show you how to get started immediately click here.
