best diabetes tester

If you've been diagnosed with diabetes recently, you're probably feeling that your whole life has to change. You may be worried about the future and you may even be angry at your body for "letting you down". All these feeling are perfectly natural, but it's time to look at the positives.

For centuries, diabetes testing mostly consisted of a physician dipping his pinkie into a urine sample and tasting it to pick up on abnormally high sugar. Thankfully, testing for type 2 diabetes is lot easier now-at least for doctors. Urine tests can still pick up diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong (chronic) disease in which there are high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. See also: Causes Diabetes is caused by a problem in the way your body makes or uses insulin.

Diabetes is a condition where there is too much glucose, a type of sugar, in the blood. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 and type 2. There is also gestational diabetes (GDM), which is diabetes that occurs in pregnancy and usually goes away after the baby is born.

Your doctor may also check for ketones in your blood or urine which can help with the diagnosis. Ketones can be a sign that you lack insulin (and is usually associated with rapid weight loss).
