Type 2 Diabetes -

There are 21 million people in the world who have been diagnosed with diabetes, but there are still around 8.1 million people who have the disease and don’t know about it (27.8% of people with diabetes are undiagnosed). Symptoms of this disease vary from person to person, but, like with most diseases, the earlier you catch it, the better off you will be.

Therefore, it is definitely worth getting to know, and keeping an eye out, for the symptoms of diabetes.
