Diabetes is a disease that results in too much sugar (glucose)
in the blood. Your body does not have enough insulin available to
turn food into energy. High levels of glucose slowly damage your
eyes, heart, kidneys, nerves, legs, and feet. Diabetes is a
serious disease affecting 16 million people in the United States,
and you may be at risk if you are Hispanic, overweight, or do not
exercise regularly. Hispanics are nearly twice as likely as
non-Hispanic whites to develop this disease.

Diabetes is a disorder characterized by elevated blood
sugar.

American Diabetes
Association
Often diabetes goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms
seem so harmless. Recent studies indicate that the early
detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the
chance of developing the complications of diabetes.

Diabetes is a disorder characterized by hyperglycemia or
elevated blood glucose (blood sugar). Our bodies function best at
a certain level of sugar in the bloodstream. If the amount of
sugar in our blood runs too high or too low, then we typically
feel bad. Diabetes is the name of the condition where the blood
sugar level consistently runs too high.
