Can diabetes be reversed?

How can diabetes be managed?

Answer 1

Ans) Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue and blurred vision. In some cases, there may be no symptoms.

- Diabetes is diagnosed with fasting sugar blood tests or with A1c blood tests, also known as glycated hemoglobin tests. A fasting blood sugar test is performed after you have had nothing to eat or drink for at least eight hours. Normal fasting blood sugar is less than 100 mg/dl (5.6 mmol/l).

- long term complications of diabetes include:
Heart disease.
Kidney damage – known as nephropathy.
Eye damage – called retinopathy.
Nerve damage – known as neuropathy.
Stroke.
Limb amputations

- Prediabetes Can Be Reversed. Yes, you can stop diabetes before it begins, but you won't receive the care you need if you don't even know you have the problem. The condition exists when your blood sugar levels rise higher than normal, yet remain lower than those found in diabetes.
