There are some classic tell tale symptoms for Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes .
These include feeling hungry or thirsty more than , going for a pee during the night, unexplained weight loss, blurred vision, wounds that do not easily heal, thrush and genital itching.
However, you do not necessarily have to have any of these conditions to be suffering from Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes .
You could feel unwell due to slightly higher blood glucose levels than normal, as in certain cases it can take up to 10 years to be diagnosed.
It is possible to lower your risk of prediabetes by 60% by just eating a healthy diet and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Weight control is key to lowering your risk of prediabetes as fat in the body can get in the way of insulin .
Insulin is a key which unlocks the door to allow your blood sugar to go from your bloodstream into your blood cells..
Fat blocks that lock and stops the door from opening. Even a 10 per cent weight loss helps immensely.
A low fat diet, with lots of fruit and veg, and 30 minutes exercise 5 times a week, is very helpful.
