JAKARTA Diabetes is a condition in which the patient’s body loses its ability to regulate sugar in the blood.
As a result, damage to organs such as kidneys, eyes, as well as nerve damage, are some of the complications it causes.
For those of you who are new to this issue, here’s how to identify the presence of diabetes, which you can do yourself.
If you already have a blood sugar checker at home, all you need to do is look at the indicators shown on the screen.
If your fasting blood sugar is below 99 mg/dl, then you can be sure that you are in normal condition.
If your fasting blood sugar (not eating 8 hours before checking) is above 100-125, it indicates you are pre-diabetic.
Meanwhile, if it is 126 mg/dl or more, then you fall into the category of people with diabetes.
In the pre-diabetes stage, you can still return your body to normal conditions, with lifestyle changes.(ruf/fin)
