How to tell if you have diabetes?
The easiest way to tell if you have diabetes is to check your fasting blood sugar. When you don’t eat or drink any carbohydrate for at least 8 hours, your blood sugar at that time is fasting blood sugar.
If your fasting blood sugar is equal to or less than 99 mg/dl, you don’t have diabetes.
If your fasting blood sugar is equal to or higher than 126 mg/dl, you have diabetes.
If your fasting blood sugar is between 100 mg/dl to 125 mg/dl, you have pre-diabetes.
You can get your fasting blood sugar tested at your doctor’s office or medical lab, or even at home with a home glucose meter.
You can’t rely on symptoms of diabetes to tell if you have diabetes. Many people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms until it is too late. If you are at risk for diabetes, get your fasting blood sugar tested as soon as you can.
