Frequently Asked Question!

Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, and slow wound healing. It’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis if you experience these symptoms.

Diabetes is typically diagnosed through blood tests that measure blood glucose levels. The main tests include a fasting blood sugar test, oral glucose tolerance test, and A1C test (glycated haemoglobin test). Diagnosis criteria may vary based on guidelines from health organizations.

The main types of diabetes are:

  • Type 1 diabetes: Often diagnosed in childhood or adolescence, where the body does not produce insulin.
  • Type 2 diabetes: Usually develops in adults and is characterised by insulin resistance.
  • Gestational diabetes: Occurs during pregnancy and can increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later.
