What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You About Diabetes
Diabetes is a health problem in the United States, as you've probably heard. Here are some startling figures:
According to the American Diabetes Association, 29.1 million people in the United States have diabetes, with 8.1 million going undiagnosed.
Around 80 million people have pre-diabetes and may be unaware of it.
It's also a big problem for baby boomers, with more than 25% of those over 65 suffering from it.
Are you in danger?
You tell yourself, "No way - not me."
Maybe you're skinny and don't think you'll ever have diabetes. Why would you want it if no one in your family has ever had it?
Your doctor even ordered a blood glucose test, which revealed that your levels are normal. Even if they were marginally high, he may have written you a prescription, advised you to start exercising, and asked you to re-test in a few months.
The problem with this strategy, in my opinion, is that instead of being proactive, he is merely waiting for a diagnosis, which may be unavoidable if nothing is done now.
That's correct. Your doctor isn't concerned about your diabetes risk. Why? He simply does not have the time.

What's more, guess what?
When it comes to detecting diabetes, a blood glucose test isn't the be-all and end-all. It isn't even the most dependable instrument we have. It is, in my opinion, the first baseline test we should consider.
This is why. A fasting blood glucose test examines your blood glucose level at a specific time. And it's not at a moment when your body is functioning normally. You haven't eaten in some hours and have likely only recently begun your day. You aren't eating lunch, jogging around town, or hitting balls on the fairway.
It's like trying to conduct a series of diagnostics on your automobile when the ignition is turned off. It's not going to work.
