People who are prone to diabetes—

especially those who have the disease in

their family's history—should consider that

there is a great possibility that they or theirthere is a great possibility that they or their

kids might inherit the illness. So, the best

way to go about it is become very informed

about the condition. The following are

some the things that people who are prone

to diabetes must consider:

1. TYPE OF DIABETES.

Experts say that the severity of diabetes can be

determined through its types including

“Type 1diabetes" also known as "juvenile diabetes" or

"insulin-dependent diabetes" which is an auto-immune

type targeting the body's immune system and the leasttype targeting the body's immune system and the least

common type;

the “Type 2 diabetes" also known as "non-insulin-

dependent diabetes mellitus" or "adult-onset diabetes"

which is affects the amount of insulin produced in the

person's body,

and “Gestational diabetes" which is common among

women who are conceiving or pregnant.

For a person to finally know whether he or

she suffers from diabetes, tests for

diagnosis are a must. Although the

symptoms can give you a hint whether yousymptoms can give you a hint whether you

are suffering from the illness or not, relying

on these are not enough. Experts say that

only way to confirm if one has diabetes or

not is to get a test. Now, there are so many

types of tests that one can get including:

considered as the most preferred test for

people with diabetes and requires a person

people with diabetes and requires a person

to go fasting at least eight hours or ideally

the night before the test to ensure that the

blood sample that will be drawn and

examined for glucose levels is accurate;

the Fasting Plasma Glucose test, doesn’t

require fasting but the blood samples

the person to fast not less than 8 hours
