Nearly 21 million people in the United States have diabetes, and almost one-third (6.2 million people) do not know they have it.
Tuesday, March 25 is American Diabetes Alert Day. This special day is designated by the American Diabetes Association. It is a call-to-action for people to find out if they are at risk for diabetes. The goal is to raise awareness that this is a serious disease.
Diabetes is very common, and I’m sure we all know someone who has it. The scary thing is that so many people have it and don’t know, so check out the diabetes risk test from the American Diabetes Association to see if you are at risk. Of course your doctor is the only one who can determine if you have the disease, but this quick test may help you determine your risk.
Since many of the symptoms of diabetes seem harmless, the condition often is undiagnosed.
Symptoms of diabetes may include:
- Frequent urination
- Excessive thirst
- Extreme hunger
- Unusual weight loss
- Increased fatigue
- Irritability
- Blurry vision
