Do I have diabetes?

DIABETES QUIZ

ARE YOU CONCERNED?

Evaluate yourself.

Do I have diabetes?

Are you peeing more than usual?

A. Yes

C. No

If you are urinating more often than usual, your frequent urination could be a symptom of high blood sugar, which may be an early sign of diabetes.

Does your mother or father have Type 2 Diabetes?

A. No Family history

B. One Parent has Type 2 Diabetes

C. Both Parents have Type 2 Diabetes

A family history of diabetes could contribute to your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Do you have a problem with your weight?

A. Yes

B. No

Being overweight can predispose you to type 2 diabetes and conversely unexplained weight loss can be a symptom of type 1 diabetes; this is because the body would be unable to metabolize the sugar and would start to break down your stored fat for energy.

Have you felt thirstier, or found yourself drinking more than usual in recent weeks or months?

A. Yes

B. No

Increased thirst is a symptom of both types of diabetes, and this is because excessive sugar in your blood would be excreted in the urine, dragging along fluids from your body tissues; this makes you dehydrated and leave you feeling thirsty.

Have you noticed that any cuts and grazes you might have to seem to be taking longer to heal than usual?

A. No, they are healing just fine

B. Yes – they seem to be taking longer

Uncontrolled diabetes may affect circulation, causing blood to move more slowly, which makes it more difficult for the body to deliver nutrients to wounds. As a result, the injuries heal slowly or may not heal.

Have you noticed any changes to your vision?

A. Yes, I seem to have trouble with my focus sometimes

B. Yes, I sometimes see ‘floaters’ in my line of vision

C. Yes, sometimes my eyesight seems a little blurry

D. No, my eyes are fine

High blood sugar could damage the blood vessels in the retina (a light-sensitive layer of cells in the back of the eye). Damaged blood vessels can swell and leak, causing blurry vision or stopping blood flow.

If you get a sudden increase in ‘floaters’, you should seek urgent medical help as there are other possible causes that could threaten your eyesight if untreated.

Have you experienced recent tingling or a pins and needles sensation in the hands or feet?

A. No

B. Yes, once or twice

C. Yes, frequently

If you have diabetes, you might experience tingling or numbness in your hands, fingers, feet and toes. This is a sign of nerve damage, or diabetic neuropathy and this condition typically develops slowly. You’re likely to experience this after years of living with diabetes, but it can be a first sign for some.

Have you been experiencing excessive tiredness or fatigue?

A. No, I feel the same as always

B. Yes, I’m exhausted!

C. I’m a little more tired than usual

Fatigue is a common symptom of diabetes. It can result from high blood sugar levels and other diabetes complications.

Do you experience dizziness?

A. Never

B. Yes, from time to time

C. Yes, frequently

High blood sugar and dehydration in both types of diabetes can cause you feel dizzy and lightheaded.

The only conclusive test for diabetes is a blood test. However, the quiz should give you an indication of whether to seek urgent help, or whether to raise the issue at your next GP appointment.
