About Us

"Generally, patients see their physicians once every three months. But the decisions they make on a daily basis – what they eat, whether they exercise, medications they take and monitoring their blood sugars – are going to determine whether their diabetes is kept in good control."

Quick Tips

Does your doctor's visit end before you can ask all your questions? Try asking them at the start of your visit.

Warning Signs of Diabetes

Many people have diabetes for years before it is ever diagnosed. In fact, nearly 1/3 of diabetics are undiagnosed.

Classic symptoms of diabetes include:

Frequent urination
Intense thirst
Excessive hunger
Extreme tiredness or weakness
Unexplained weight loss
Blurred vision
Pain, numbness or tingling of the hands or feet
Bruises that won’t go away
Sores that won’t heal

It is good to keep in mind that simply having one or more of these symptoms doesn’t automatically mean you have diabetes. To evaluate your risk, the American Diabetes Association has a Diabetes Risk Test that you can take online.
