Getting diagnosed Type 2 diabetes

 Type 2 diabetes is often diagnosed following blood or urine tests for something else.

However, you should see a GP straight away if you have any symptoms of diabetes.

To find out if you have type 2 diabetes, you usually have to go through the following steps:

1. See a GP about your symptoms.

2. The GP will check your urine and arrange a blood test to check your blood sugar levels. It usually takes about 1 to 2 days for the results to come back.

3. If you have diabetes, the GP will explain the test results and what will happen next.



If you're diagnosed with diabetes

What the GP will discuss with you during your appointment depends on the diagnosis and the treatment they recommend.

Generally, they'll talk to you about:

>what diabetes is

>what high blood sugar means for your health

>whether you need to take medicine

>your diet and exercise

>your lifestyle – for example, alcohol and smoking

What happens after the diagnosis

The GP may prescribe medicine. It might take time for you to get used to the medicine and to find the right doses for you.

1. You will usually need to make changes to your diet and be more active.

2. You'll have to go for regular type 2 diabetes check-ups.

3. You'll have to look out for certain signs to avoid other health problems.
