You are at risk if you're overweight, get little or no exercise, have a family history of diabetes, are a woman who's had a baby over 9 pounds, or are over 45.
Keto-stix (available at most drug stores) will tell you if you're burning ketones, a common occurrence for diabetics who don't have their condition under control. A simple blood test and physical exam at the doctor's office is all it takes to diagnose it.

Symptoms of diabetes start when you start to fell drowzy a lot and when your excercisin rate starts to decrease also when you start to flatulate a lot and when you start to get very fat or you can be skinny but your sugar level is way high.
