Hi all,
I would like to share with you all are self-examine method that i just learned.
Below are the 10 question that i feel is quite accuracy.
1. Do you have immediate family member with diabetes?
2. Do you have gestational diabetes?
3. Do you gave birth to at least one baby weighing more than 9 pounds.
4. Do you have high blood pressure? (Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg )
5. Do you have high Cholesterol? (Normal HDL cholesterol-”good” cholesterol-is below 35 mg/dL, or mytriglyceride level is above 250 mg/dL.)
6. Do you exercise fewer than three times a week?
7. Are you a woman with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)?
8. In previous testing, do you have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or impaired fasting glucose (IFG)?
9. Do you have other clinical conditions associated with insulin resistance, such as acanthosis nigricans, a brown to black hyperpigmentation of the skin?
10. Do you have a history of cardiovascular disease?
If you have more than 5 YES for the question above, means you are in the risk. You better do a full medical check-up and consult your family member on you situation.
