Can you have type 2 diabetes and not know?

Yes, it is known as a silent disease. It is highly recommended to get a routine fasting blood sugar and HbA1c test done every year, especially if you have a family history, just to be on the safer side.

Yes, definitely. I use a continuous glucose monitor occasionally to keep track of my blood sugar spikes, and it is surprising how some high-carb Indian meals can spike sugar levels silently without showing any obvious physical symptoms.

Haan na, bilkul pata nahi chalta bahut baar. Mere uncle ko bhi koi problem nahi thi, normal medical checkup mein achanak diabetes nikal aaya. Isliye regular checkup karva lena chahiye thode time baad.

Oh, absolutely! At my age, you only find out when you go for a routine insurance test or a tooth extraction. It sits quietly inside like an uninvited guest, so getting an annual blood test is the only way to catch it.
