Itching.
Erectile dysfunction or impotence.
Irritability.

Some people may experience prediabetic conditions, namely the
condition when glucose in the blood above normal, but not high enough to be
diagnosed as diabetes. A person suffering from prediabetes can suffer from type
2 diabetes if it is not handled properly.
- Risk Factors for Diabetes
One would be easier to experience type 1 diabetes if it has
risk factors, such as:
Have a family with type 1 diabetes history.
Suffer from viral infections.
White people are thought to be easier to experience type 1
diabetes than other races.
Travel to an area far from the equator (equator).
Type 1 diabetes is widely occurring at the age of 4-7 years
and 10-14 years, although type 1 diabetes can appear at any age.
While in the case of type 2 diabetes, one would be easier to
experience this condition if it has risk factors, such as:
Overweight.
Have a family with type 2 diabetes history.
Less active. Physical activity helps control weight, burns
glucose as energy, and makes the body's cells more sensitive to insulin. Less
active physical activity causes one to be prone to type 2 diabetes.
Age. The risk of type 2 diabetes increases with increasing
age.
Suffering from high blood pressure (hypertension).
It has abnormal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. A person
who has low levels of good cholesterol or HDL (high-density lipoprotein) and
high triglyceride levels are more at risk of experiencing type 2 diabetes.
Especially in women, pregnant mothers who suffer from
gestational diabetes can more easily experience type 2 diabetes. Women who have
a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are also easier to experience
type 2 diabetes.
The recommended juice for diabetics is tomato juice. The
content of vitamin B1 tomatoes can turn blood sugar levels into energy sources.
