Diabetes Symptoms and Home Remedies

Diabetes mellitus comes in two types - Type 1 or Type 2. If you are one of the lucky ones with Type 2 (about 95%), this can be controlled through diet and exercise. See Stacy's answer above.

Glucose only leaks out into the urine when the glucose goes above 180 mg/dl. Diabetes mellitus should be caught way before reaching this stage to prevent any damage to the kidneys. If it goes above 240 mg/dl, ketones will begin to leak into the urine.
