____________________________________
Diabetes is considered to be the “silent” disease because most
people show little to no symptoms or signs of having it.
These symptoms include:
• Constant urination
• Excessive hunger
• Excessive thirst
• Unexplained weight loss
• Slow healing sores
• Dry, itchy skin
• Tingling feet
• Blurry sight
Unfortunately, there are too many people who have diabetes and
never show any signs.
