Over 40 million Americans live with diabetes, and many adults with diabetes do not know they have it. Learning diabetes symptoms and understanding risk factors supports early detection, which helps prevent complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and eyes. Symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, increased hunger, extreme fatigue, blurry vision, slow-healing cuts or bruises, and weight loss in type 1. Type 2 diabetes may also cause tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands or feet, and symptoms can be mild. A free 60-Second Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test can identify high risk, and high-risk individuals can access lifestyle change programs to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can be checked with A1C, fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance, or random blood glucose tests.
"The ADA encourages everyone to take the free 60-Second Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. For those who are at high risk, the ADA offers connections to National Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle change programs to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. You can start by checking your risk for type 2 diabetes. The ADA's Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test is a common tool for this. Others will have a blood test right away."
