14 Myths About Diabetes Treatment

1. If you have diabetes, it’ll be obvious by your symptoms

As we mentioned earlier, 9 in 10 people—77 million Americans—with prediabetes have no idea they have it. Furthermore, the CDC reports that 1 out of every 4 people with diabetes—an estimated 8 million people—have no idea they’re living with the disease.

That’s partially because the symptoms of type 2 diabetes—such as increased urination and thirst, dry mouth, unusual fatigue, and blurred vision—are easily looked over or attributed to other problems. Low blood sugar—which you can easily associate with being hangry—can trigger irritability, dizziness, shakiness, and lack of coordination. It’s hard for your body to tell if this is a normal reaction or a physical disease, especially since these symptoms will slowly develop over the course of several years. Even if you think it’s nothing, try talking to your doctor if you’re experiencing any of these symptoms. A simple blood test can elucidate what’s going on in your body.
