Why get a diabetes screening? We\u2019ll give you five good reasons\u2014namely, elevated risk of heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and loss of limb. Diabetes is hitting the U.S. harder than ever, with nearly 10 percent of Americans dealing with its symptoms and risks. And an estimated one in three U.S. adults has prediabetes,<\/a> meaning they have an increased chance of developing diabetes over the next five years.<\/p>\n<\/div>

A diabetes screening is really just a simple tool to see what your current risk looks like. And that\u2019s important, because one in four people<\/a> who has diabetes doesn\u2019t even know it.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Here\u2019s what you need to know about what diabetes is, what your risk factors might be, and how to get tested:<\/p>\n<\/div>

The Difference Between Type 1 and Type 2<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

You may have heard about different types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes<\/a> is an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas stops producing insulin\u2014a hormone that regulates glucose (blood sugar). Type 1 can begin in childhood or adulthood. Type 1 is manageable with lifestyle changes and therapies, but once Type 1 diabetes is underway, it\u2019s rare for the pancreas to start making insulin again.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\n\n<\/div>
\n

Type 2 diabetes,<\/a> on the other hand, is a progressive disease in which gradually higher insulin resistance causes higher-than-normal glucose\u2014and type 2 diabetes can be prevented, slowed, and even reversed, depending on the individual and the state of the disease. People with prediabetes are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes but might still avoid it through lifestyle changes\u2014such as healthy eating and increased physical activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Since the symptoms of type 2 diabetes come on gradually, the American Diabetes Association advises that any person with any of the following risk factors get a diabetes screening:<\/p>\n<\/div>
