Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this quiz, what it covers, and what your results mean.
This quiz does not diagnose diabetes or replace medical care. If you have severe symptoms, feel very ill, or are concerned about your blood sugar, consider contacting a healthcare professional promptly. It is for health education only.
Type 2 diabetes is a long-term condition where the body has trouble using insulin well, which can cause blood sugar levels to rise. Over time, high blood sugar can affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and circulation.
Insulin resistance means the body’s cells do not respond to insulin as well as they should. The pancreas may make more insulin to keep blood sugar normal, but over time blood sugar can rise.
Blood sugar gives your body energy, but levels that stay too high can damage blood vessels and nerves. Checking blood sugar can help identify prediabetes or diabetes before complications develop.
Type 2 diabetes is caused by a mix of insulin resistance, genetics, age, body composition, activity level, and other health factors. Family history, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, PCOS, and prior gestational diabetes can increase risk.
Yes. Many people have mild or no symptoms early on, which is why screening tests such as fasting glucose and A1C are important for people with risk factors.
Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurry vision, slow-healing cuts, more frequent infections, tingling or numbness, and sometimes unexplained weight changes.
A healthcare professional diagnoses diabetes using blood tests and clinical history. Common tests include A1C, fasting plasma glucose, and sometimes an oral glucose tolerance test or repeat testing to confirm results.
Common blood tests include A1C, fasting glucose, and sometimes insulin or an oral glucose tolerance test. A lipid panel, kidney markers, and other metabolic tests may also help assess overall health risk.
No. A1C estimates average blood sugar over about the past 2 to 3 months, while a glucose test measures blood sugar at one point in time. Both can be useful in different ways.
Consider asking about testing if you have symptoms, risk factors, a family history of type 2 diabetes, prior gestational diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol, or if it has been more than a year since your last screening.
Yes, blood sugar changes can affect fluid balance in the eye and cause blurry vision that comes and goes. Ongoing or sudden vision changes should be discussed with a healthcare professional promptly.
High blood sugar over time can affect nerves and may contribute to tingling, numbness, burning, or pain in the feet or hands. These symptoms can also have other causes, so medical review is important.
Untreated high blood sugar can increase the risk of heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, vision problems, infections, and slow wound healing. Early detection and care can reduce these risks.
The timeline varies by person and depends on the cause, lifestyle changes, medical care, and starting blood sugar levels. Some markers can improve within weeks, while A1C usually reflects changes over 2 to 3 months.
Healthy eating patterns, regular physical activity, weight management when appropriate, better sleep, and not smoking can help lower risk. A healthcare professional can help tailor a plan based on your labs and health history.
