What are the most common ways to diagnose diabetes?
I know urine tests and blood tests could be administered but I was told by someone that urine tests won't even be able to tell if you have diabetes... that you'll end up having to get a blood test to determine if you do have diabetes. Then what's the point of getting a urine test?
Thanks in advance :)
How much does somebody with diabetes urinate?
I'm 17 male and I've got a lot of diabetes symptoms like urinating lots, blurred vision, occasional tingling. But with the urinating [the main symptom] how much comes under the diabetic catagory? How many full bursts of urine would you have a day. I have it more at night, and I go to the toilet usually in the day. Also how much would somebody drink a day if they had it.
Btw i've set a blood test, i just wanna know now.

How can I preclude life insurance blacklisting with Diabetes II?
I have a case of Type II Diabetes and I have found that qualification for life insurance requires a blood test. Based on blood testing, companies will charge much more if a person has Type II Diabetes. I was wondering if there is some way to fool the company to make them believe that I am normal. Perhaps I could work out just before the test?
Is it possible to have high blood sugar/ diabetes that is not recognized by standard tests?
I am obese, but have never had diabetes or pre-diabetic conditions. I had a baby in 2008, but did not even have gestational diabetes. However I remember something I read which mentioned (just a vague memory here...) that it's possible to have some gestational diabetes which is not detected by the standard glucose-measuring blood test I had. It was just a fleeting mental note until I started getting athlete's foot pretty regularly, and read that it may be related to high blood sugar. Any ideas?
What will happen if you had diabetes and it never got diagnosed?
