My grandfather had heart problems and died at a young age. My father just died of a heart attack in January. My grandmother had diabetes and died of complications. I'm afraid theres a pattern here. Already had my heart tested but I feel the need to be tested for diabetes. Are there signs I should be aware of?

you feel tired and want to sleep all the time. You need to go to the bathroom real often. (but if you drink alot of water that is normal. if it is not because of that......go to the doctor) and you are frequently thirsty.Your feet and hands get pins and needles. if you have any of these signs, go see a doctor soon, diabetes is serious. you can go into a coma...and never wake up.

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.

I am writing to tell you what an incredible impact these methods had on my life! I have had type 2 diabetes for 27 years. For me, the worst part of this horrible disease is the severe pain I constantly get in my feet. The pain is so bad that I avoid standing and walking as much as possible. I've got to tell you that within the first month, my feet stopped hurting altogether and I can now walk totally pain free.
Believe it or not, I even danced at my niece's wedding last month, something I have not done in a many years. I've been following the book for six months now and my blood sugar is well within normal range. I feel great!
I recommend you use the Type 2 Diabetes Destroyer to naturally reverse your diabetes.

High blood levels of glucose can cause several problems, including frequent urination, excessive thirst, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, and blurry vision. However, because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar experience no symptoms at all. How to treat diabetes naturally https://tr.im/KfVg2

The first thing i noticed was being thirsty alot.The second is frquent urination.I have days where i have no energy and i want to sleep alot.The best thing is if you have a family member/friend that has a blood sugar test machine.Use that a few times and if your blood sugar is over 150,i would go to a doctor.They can tell if your diabetic by urinalysis.If you may be a diabetic,they may start you off on medication.

You need to get a check up. Your concerns are legitimate. You must learn to take excellent care of your body with proper nutrition and exercise.
If you don't have health and life insurance, I would suggest you get it.

Are you afraid of the test, or that you might actually have it?
Get checked, the sooner you know the sooner you can do something about it.
