How Patients Benefit From Diabetes Counseling To Improve Their Health

By Gregory Powell


Diabetes is one of the major cause that leads to death. In 2010 alone there were sixty nine thousand and seventy one deaths that were caused by it alone. And another hundred thousand estimated that listed it as one contributor to death.

Juvenile refers to patients who are insulin dependent usually developed during childhood and teenage years but develops at any point in life. However adult onset develops after age thirty five, but there is an increasing number of younger individuals developing type 2, and this is called non insulin dependent. Hence it is necessary for patients seek their general practitioner for diabetes counseling, so they can take action before the disease becomes worse.

As a result many patients go through several medical examinations. Undoubtedly imperative individuals who doubt they are suffering from this should check with their GP. In short sufferers from this do not know when they have the disease, but only after it is beyond prevention that they begin to take action.

Complications such as foot numbing, ketoacidosis and ketones, disease in the kidney, elevated blood pressure, stroke, gastroparesis, and HHNS or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic and nonketotic syndrome. But typical symptoms such as slow healing of open wounds, foggy vision, acute fatigue, frequently peeing, constantly hungry and thirsty. But these signs do not always appear in many people especially for those who have type two diabetes.

Beside prediabetes symptoms do not always occur, so the disease goes undetected until such time that the patient can already feel these symptoms too much. However seeking out your primary health care practitioner will help you detect these ailments early on. And diagnoses are often repeated twice in a sterile clean environment such as a clinical laboratory or the office of a doctor.

But if the results from the assessment test show that high levels of blood glucose is present in your test. And a 2nd test is not needed to reconfirm whether you have diabetes or not. But two separate test which both results in positive would dictate that you have one.

Understanding the diagnostic procedures and its purpose is important. Because determining the level of sugar in the body is one factor that tells a patient if they have diabetes or not. The A1C diagnoses your body through measuring the average blood glucose level from the last two to three months.

However the random or casual tests are conducted within several times in the day. And patients who have been diagnosed with severe disease often use this test to check their levels throughout the day. Therefore it is common sense for patients to see their doctor, but a good way to prevent the onset of this especially the insulin resistant types.

The casual test or random plasma glucose test occurs several times in a day and only when patients have severe diabetes symptoms that this test is conducted. More over type two sufferers always have prediabetes symptoms that show abnormally high levels of glucose present in the blood. Hence patients should seek professional help before it is too late.
