Type 2 diabetes is the illness of overweight adults, which usually develops insidiously and without symptoms, while the vital organs are damaged by constantly high levels of blood sugar.
When should you visit a diabetologist?
- Suspicion of diabetes: fatigue, visual disturbances, abnormal thirst, weight loss, frequent urination, recurrent yeast infections
- Existing diabetes
- For diabetes screening, recommended: for everyone over the age of 45, under the age of 45 for those: whose BMI is above 25 (weight (kg)/height (meter)2, e.g. a 165 cm tall person weighing 60 kg: 60/1,652=22,04) and also has one of the risk factors (e.g. high blood pressure or cholesterol) and for women who have delivered a baby with a birth weight over 4.1 kg
