Re: Is type two diabetes killing you or someone you love?
Symptoms of Type 2 Diabetes can often be overlooked. 10-15 years can go by before the person with 'higher than normal blood sugar' realizes that the weight gain/loss, tiredness, wounds that don't heal, thrush infections etc are not just part of life, but due to Type 2 diabetes.
Even with a diagnosis, its sometimes hard to get your head round things; resulting in a leg being amputated, blindness, kidney problems. If you, or someone you love is at risk of Type 2 diabetes take them to see your GP.
If a blood test for diabetes has not been completed within the last 2 years then ask your GP for a HbA1c test. If you are unsure if your family history or current lifestyle choices place you at risk of Type 2, give us a call on 07 571 3422.
If you have been diagnosed with Type 2, and are struggling to make sense of things or get your sugars under control, then ring us on 07 5713422; we are waiting for your call.
If you have Type 1 or gestational diabetes contact us, or check out our website www.diabeteshelp.org.nz... for details of our services.
