before it's too late. I don't have it but friends of mine do and thery were so shocked to find out that they had it when they went for a medical check up. Surely there is cheap product on the market so that we can all check our own blood sugar levels.

This way we can take preventative measure if we have high blood sugar level readings.

Yes cost is an issue but surely prevention is better than no cure.

In my case, it came on so gradually, that the doctor was able to pick it up during routine physicals/bloodwork. In fact, he warned me that if I didn't get on a healthy diet, I would become diabetic. He was right. Now that I'm on a healthy diet and exercise routine, all is well. So becoming diabetic was probably a good thing for me. Taught me how to take care of myself.... the hard way.

Why would they test for it. The medical industry is not and never will be proactive it is only reactive. Diabetes is curable also. This is a medical and pharmacy fantasy. Why would the pharmacy industry ever cure any disease, it would destroy their profits. If they can't keep you on a pill it isn't profitable to them. Therefore natural cures are a waist of time for them. Read Insulin: The Silent Killer by thomas smith. He cured his own diabetes after 6 years of research 10 years ago because the medical industry was so enemic. Don't believe what you always hear and question things.

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/n8mVb
A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

The most secure way to screen for diabetes, have your dr run a blood scan on your next visit. Most insurance plans cover this. Or have one of your friends check your blood sugar.

Why not, assuming you dont have type 1- and if you do you will know about it, eat a great diet and never have to worry about developing diabetes? And by the way, you can now buy self testing kits which are quirte reasonable but where is it going to stop and how often are you going to test? You can test for bowel cancer, diabetes, menopause, prostate problems, cadidiasis etc, etc.

Because it would cost too much money. Local pharmacies do a free test for anyone who wants it.

This is a good idea - but like everything else - it all comes down to cost.
