Diabetes can and often does go undiagnosed because the symptoms can seem harmless and oftentimes normal. Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs during the second half of pregnancy.Although gestational diabetes typically goes away after delivery of the baby. Women who have gestational diabetes are more likely than other women to develop type 2 diabetes later in life.
Some diabetes symptoms include:

• Excessive thirst
• Extreme hunger
• Unusual weight loss
• Increased fatigue
• Irritability
• Blurry vision
Pre diabetes is a condition wherein no physical symptoms are seen although you are predisposed to having diabetes because of the risk factors that are present like having a history of diabetes in the family, age, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, insulin resistance, smoking, alcoholic abuse and an unhealthy lifestyle. Type 1 diabetes is typically recognized in childhood or adolescence. It used to be known as juvenile-onset diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

However, high blood sugar is not something you can see in the mirror at home, so it is useful to know the side – effects of high blood sugar, which are commonly recognized as the noticeable symptoms of diabetes. The pancreas secretes insulin, but the body is partially or completely unable to use the insulin. This is sometimes referred to as insulin resistance. The body tries to overcome this resistance by secreting more and more insulin. People with insulin resistance develop type 2 diabetes when they do not continue to secrete enough insulin to cope with the higher demands.
Type 2 diabetes symptoms:
• Blurry vision
• Cuts or sores that are slow to heal
• Itchy skin, yeast infections
• Increased thirst
• Dry mouth
• Need to urinate often
• Leg pain
If you have one or more of these diabetes symptoms, see your doctor right away. You can also take our Online Diabetes Risk Test to find out if you are at risk for diabetes.
