Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this quiz, what it covers, and what your results mean.
This quiz is for health education only and does not diagnose diabetes, prediabetes, or any other condition. If you have severe symptoms, confusion, trouble breathing, chest pain, fainting, or signs of dehydration, seek urgent medical care.
Diabetes is a health condition where blood sugar stays higher than it should. This can happen when the body does not make enough insulin or does not use insulin well.
Blood sugar gives your body energy, but too much sugar in the blood over time can affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.
High blood sugar can be caused by insulin resistance, not enough insulin, certain health conditions, stress, illness, some medicines, and diet or activity patterns. A healthcare professional can help identify likely causes.
Insulin resistance means the body has a harder time using insulin to move sugar from the blood into cells. It can raise the risk of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes means blood sugar is higher than normal but not in the diabetes range. It is a warning sign and can often be addressed with lifestyle changes and medical guidance.
Common symptoms can include frequent urination, increased thirst, fatigue, blurry vision, increased hunger, slow-healing cuts, repeated infections, and unexplained weight changes.
Yes. Type 2 diabetes symptoms can develop slowly and may be easy to miss. Some people have few symptoms until blood sugar has been high for a while.
Diabetes is diagnosed with blood tests interpreted by a healthcare professional. Common tests include fasting glucose, A1C, and sometimes an oral glucose tolerance test.
Common blood tests include fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1C. Fasting insulin may also be used with glucose to help understand insulin resistance, depending on your situation.
It is possible to have symptoms from another cause, or to have blood sugar changes that need more context than one test provides. A healthcare professional can decide whether repeat or additional testing is needed.
Yes, high blood sugar can cause temporary fluid changes in the eye that may lead to blurry vision. New, severe, or worsening vision changes should be evaluated.
Yes, frequent nighttime urination can happen when extra glucose in the blood leads the body to make more urine. It can also have other causes, so it is worth discussing if persistent.
Untreated high blood sugar can increase the risk of complications involving the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and circulation. Very high blood sugar can sometimes become urgent.
The timeline varies. Some people see changes in glucose within days or weeks after lifestyle or treatment changes, while A1C reflects average blood sugar over about two to three months.
Seek urgent care if you have confusion, fainting, severe weakness, vomiting, signs of dehydration, rapid or difficult breathing, chest pain, or symptoms that are quickly getting worse.
Common signs of diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurry vision, but many people have no symptoms. A blood test such as A1C or fasting glucose is the only way to confirm it.
Yes. Fasting glucose, A1C, and fasting insulin are commonly used to check blood sugar and diabetes risk, and can be ordered without a doctor visit.
