Diabetes is a serious condition that can cause severe complications like coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke, if not treated properly. But, over 1/3 of Americans, don’t even know they have diabetes. The longer you go without controlling diabetes, the higher the risks. This doesn’t have to be you. Diabetes can easily be detected and kept under control and maybe even reverse or stop it all together. If you’ve experienced any of the signs below, you should consider talking with your doctor and getting tested.
Frequent urination (polyuria)
People with diabetes don’t break-down the food into sugar adequately, and the unprocessed sugar remains in the bloodstream. The extra sugar in the bloodstream causes the kidneys to work harder to try to get rid of the excess of glucose in the blood and makes more urine.
