DIABETES…AN IMPENDING DANGER…DON’T SUGAR COAT IT!!

Diabetes is a chronic illness characterized by persistent increased sugar levels in blood caused by defects in insulin secretion, function of insulin or both. Genetically predisposed Type 1 and lifestyle acquired Type 2 are its variants. Generally, its signs and symptoms are increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, irritability, blurred vision, delayed healing of wounds and frequent infections. Early diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes is essential using recommended hemoglobin A1c criteria because over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
