Silent Metabolic Mystery Shaves 10 Years Off Your Life

Right now, as you read this, you could be living with a disease that’s slowly destroying your body—and not have a clue you have it.

As you buy your groceries, watch your favorite TV show, and play with your grandkids, this disease could be silently attacking your heart, your vision, your sex life, or your skin health.

As you walk the dog or clean out the garage, it may be increasing your risk of heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke–ultimately slashing your life expectancy by up to 10 years.

With such significant risks, you’d expect to see significant signs of the condition.

But there aren’t… especially not in its early stages.

That’s why nearly HALF of all people who have it don’t know they do. As a result, they’re missing out on the opportunity to put a stop to the damage it’s causing.

Here’s how to make sure you’re not one of them…

Some conditions are obvious. They produce noticeable symptoms, such as hair loss, rashes, or pain.

But this silent killer doesn’t cause any symptoms at first. And even as it progresses, they can be easy to overlook.

Increased thirst.

Urinating more frequently.

Tiredness.

Hunger.

With vague symptoms like these, is it any wonder that 44 percent of people with type 2 diabetes don’t know they have it?

These were the findings from a recent study that looked at data from 204 countries on people ages 15 and older.

But it gets worse. In people under 35, data showed that a whopping 80 percent of those who have diabetes are in the dark about it.

In this case, ignorance is NOT bliss.

Allowing high blood sugar to run rampant is like having a slow leak in your house’s foundation. While everything seems fine on the surface, water is quietly but steadily causing damage that will cost you dearly in the future.

In the same way, you can live with elevated glucose levels for years without symptoms.

But make no mistake. The damage will catch up with you eventually, with health problems like nerve damage, heart attack, blindness, lower limb amputations, strokes, and worse.

The sooner you have a diabetes diagnosis, the sooner you can start taking steps to help prevent or delay long-term consequences like these.

One thing is clear: when it comes to diabetes, you can’t rely on symptoms alone to alert you to a problem.

Do you know what you CAN rely on? Blood sugar results.

The A1C is the standard test used to diagnose diabetes and prediabetes. It measures your average blood sugar levels over the past three months. Here’s what you’re looking for:

• Normal = below 5.7 percent.
• Prediabetes = between 5.7 percent and 6.4 percent
• Diabetes = 6.5 percent and above

Healthy adults should have their levels checked every three years. If you drift into prediabetes territory, you’ll want to check them every year until you get your levels under control.

If you already have diabetes, you know the drill. You should be getting tested every six months to ensure you’re keeping your blood sugar levels in check.

You can’t solve a problem you don’t know you have.

Find out where you stand by having your A1c checked—then you can take action based on your results.
