Wed, 7 Jan 2009 10:12:53 EST http://www.diabeticseniors.com/a/Diabetes+Screening Diagnosis http://www.diabeticseniors.com/a/Diabetes+Screening The most common form of diabetes in America is Type 2 or insulin resistant diabetes mellitus, which is described by the American diabetes Association as a form of diabetes in which the body cannot absorb the insulin produced by the body. It is more common in adults over the age of 40, but is not uncommon (especially in minority groups) to be diagnosed as early as age 10. In many instances, insulin resistant diabetes can be controlled by diet and exercise; however, insulin resistant diabetes mellitus may ultimately lead to needing oral medications or daily insulin injections.

Consequently, the pancreas is no longer able to produce insulin. People usually find out that they have insulin dependent diabetes mellitus before reaching the age of 30, although it can be diagnosed at any age. Type 1 diabetes is treated with either oral or injected insulin.

This is true in the daily life of diabetics as well. No matter how closely you watch what you eat, how often you exercise, or whether you use insulin, it is still vital that you perform frequent blood glucose checks. Diabetes blood glucose monitoring helps you know when your levels are above or below your ideal level so you can make an informed decision about how little or how much you need to adapt your food intake, physical activity, and , if used, your insulin medication. Blood glucose monitoring puts you in the driver's seat by allowing you to make informed decisions about your daily diabetes choices.
