How to tell if you have diabetes
2025-03-14 09:47:51 / JETË
Prediabetes is the first stage of diabetes. Doctors consider it a warning sign.
Prediabetes occurs when blood glucose or blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be considered diabetes.
One of the factors for the occurrence of prediabetes is genetic inheritance.
If someone in your immediate family suffers or has suffered from this disease, you are more likely to develop diabetes.
Prediabetes is an indication that you may develop type 2 diabetes if you don't make some lifestyle changes.
Diabetes develops very gradually, so when you are in the prediabetes stage, you may not have any medical symptoms at all.
However, you may notice that:
Feel hungrier than usual
You're losing weight, even though you're eating more.
You are more thirsty than usual.
You need to go to the bathroom more often.
You feel more tired than usual.
These are all typical signs associated with diabetes, so if you are in the early stages of diabetes, you may notice them.
But the good news is that prediabetes is reversible if the right measures are taken.
Overweight, lack of physical activity, harmful cholesterol, and high blood pressure are things you need to improve.
Natural solutions for prediabetes
People who consume more legumes face a lower risk of developing prediabetes, or elevated blood glucose levels.
Legumes include beans, peas, lentils, and many others, which are recommended as very healthy foods for the body.
Data from a study published in the medical media shows that people who consume three or more servings of beans per week face a 25% lower risk of developing prediabetes.
People who consume only one serving or less per week are many times more at risk.
Consuming legumes helps with weight loss, fights obesity, and lowers blood pressure.
A study published in the British Journal of Nutrition analyzed the association of legumes with prediabetes.
Scientists stated that reducing body fat mass is the best way to treat prediabetes and prevent its transformation into diabetes.
Eat better, not eat less
Caloric restriction is at the epicenter of all weight loss strategies.
But science says that most people who lose weight by cutting calories gain the lost pounds back in the following months or years.
For the first time, researchers analyzed the success of two important steps in nutrition, eating beans and restricting calories.
The study participants were divided into two groups. The first group was given the task of eating five servings of lentils, chickpeas, peas and beans per week.
The second group was only asked to limit the number of calories, i.e. the amount of food.
In other words, the first group was asked to consume more legumes, and the second group was asked to eat less.
It's no surprise that the first group emerged victorious.
Consumption of legumes proved to be very effective in reducing risk factors for the development of prediabetes, such as reduced fat mass and balanced blood sugar levels.
Scientists concluded that eating five servings of beans, lentils, chickpeas, and peas per week without making major changes to your eating style reduced the risk factors for developing prediabetes.
Consuming legumes was more effective than consuming 500 fewer calories per day.
These conclusions are very encouraging for people who suffer from or are at risk of type 2 diabetes.
They show that simple changes in the diet, such as the inclusion of legumes, have a positive impact on blood sugar levels.
