Can diabetes go undetected?
My brother's blood sugar was normal a year ago, but he feels very tired all the time now. Can diabetes exist without showing up on regular blood tests for a long time?

Bilkul jaa sakta hai, isiliye isko silent killer bolte hain. Shuruat mein koi bade symptoms nahi hote. Sabse simple solution hai saal mein ek baar kisi bhi saste lab se HbA1c test karwa lo, saari sachai samne aa jayegi.

Yes, many people live with high sugar for years without knowing because there are no clear warning signs. Safe rehne ke liye, har saal routine blood test karvana bohot zaroori hai. Health ke sath bilkul compromise mat karo.

Mera diabetes bhi teen saal tak undetected tha kyunki mujhe laga thakaan toh kaam ki wajah se hai. My advice is simple: if you are over 40, have a family history, or feel unusually tired, don't wait for symptoms to show up, just get tested.

It definitely can go undetected, especially if you are relatively active. Sometimes your body compensates for a long time. Keeping a solid workout routine and getting basic blood tests done every six months is the best way to stay ahead.

I had no idea I had diabetes until my sugar level shot up to 300 during a routine pre-surgery test. I was devastated because I felt totally fine before that. It is really scary how silently it can hide in your body.

During my preventive health checkup at Fortis, the doctor explained that borderline diabetes or prediabetes has almost zero symptoms. It's best to ask your physician to run a fasting glucose and HbA1c test annually.
