Greetings, I'm retired and in my early 60's. Generaly, I know what diabetes is and what it can do to you. I have a history of it on both sides of my family. I have loss several family members in the past and my older blood brother is dying of it as I speak. As yet I do not have it. However, can you tell me what are the top 1 or 2 "very early" signs of diabetes? The reason I'm asking is because for the past 8-12 months I have had a growing awareness of a small dull ache on the left side of my spine (if you were standing behind me looking at my back it would be on your left). On a pain scale level of 1 to 10, my pain level is about a half a point to a one ( 1/2 to 1). It feels like it is taking up space inside me more and more during this time. I sleep well at night but when I first get up in the morning is when it hurts the most. Its get better after a few minutes of moving around. I do not see a doctor except twice a year to get my blood checked, its okay. I am not on medication(s).

Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so harmless. Recent studies indicate that the early detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the chance of developing the complications of diabetes.

I'm a 45 year old woman and was recently diagnosed as being a borderline diabetic. My doctor prescribed some medication, but before filling it I decided to do some research on the internet which led me to the methods. After reading this ebook and applying the methods, my scepticism turned to 100% belief. I noticed that my energy levels increased significantly and I felt more rested in the morning, my symptoms started going away.
I am very happy to tell you that I have been feeling better than I have felt in years and my doctor informed me that he will be taking me off my prescriptions if I keep this up.
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

This does not sound like diabetes, early warning signs would be, thirsty all the time, having to go to the bathroom alot (voiding). These are just a couple of things that you would notice first if you had diabetes.

Sometimes there are no warning signs. Some that I know of are increasing thirst, dizziness, changes in vision. Plenty more. However, if you are having pain as you described, it could very well be your kidney. How is it your relatives became diabetic? Does anyone in your family have any history of kidney disease, like polycystic kidneys? Do you have any pain in your bladder or with urination? You may want to have a dr or maybe a urologist check it out.

Most of the times Diabetes is asymptomatic, however It is very important to diagnose as early as possible to prevent early and late complications of Diabetes. This is only possible, if you have some knowledge about common symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus.
Glucose is an important source of energy for cells of our body.
Glucose enters the cells and metabolized to provide energy.
How does glucose enter in cells? It enters the cells with help of Insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by Pancreas. Suppose there is no insulin, or insulin production is decreased. Obviously, Glucose level in blood will increase and we will have a condition what we call as Diabetes Mellitus.
There are many symptoms of diabetes but we will focus here on most common symptoms of Diabetes. Here is list of these symptoms.
Increased Thirst
Frequent urination
Fatigue and weakness
Blurred vision
Abdominal pains
Nausea and vomiting
Sudden weight loss or gain
Skin infections like abscess, pimples
Impotence
Fluid retention (especially in legs and feet)
Chronic itching
Poor healing of skin wounds
Decreased tolerance to cold
Increased heart rate
Dry scaly skin
Numbness of fingers and toes
Extreme hunger pangs
Hot and sweaty with clammy perspiration
Heart tremors and palpitations
Apprehensive with no obvious reason
Nervousness
Disoriented, confused, inability to concentrate
Frequent headaches, dizziness
Mood changes.
How will we relate these symptoms with Diabetes. Remember, most of symptoms are directly related to higher levels of Glucose in Blood.

likely you have a pulled muscle or a spur of calcium on your spine thats poking into a muscle, nothing like that has anything to do with diabetes. thirst, having to have something to drink all the time, itchy skin, redness in your feet and lower leg, itching, swelling of your feet. sores that dont heal fast, dizziness, cold sweats, etc are signs of diabetes, which i have been diagnosed with for about 6 yrs but must have had for 20 or more.
