Know the Symptoms: Recognize the Warning Signs of Diabetes
Diabetes often develops silently, with symptoms that are mild or go unnoticed. Identifying the early signs can help prevent complications. Here are common symptoms to watch for:
Note: Some people with diabetes may not show any symptoms, especially in the early stages. Routine screenings are crucial to catching it early. If you experience anything unusual, consult your doctor for a diabetes test.
Prevention Through Healthy Living: Yes, You Can!

Managing Diabetes Complications: Protect Your Body
Diabetes doesn’t just affect blood sugar levels—it can impact several parts of the body if not managed properly. Here are some serious complications associated with diabetes:
The Link Between Diabetes and Heart Health
People with diabetes are twice as likely to develop heart disease or stroke compared to those without diabetes. High blood sugar damages blood vessels and the nerves that control the heart, increasing the risk of cardiovascular complications.
The Importance of Early Diagnosis
Early diagnosis of diabetes allows timely intervention, preventing further complications such as:
Routine tests like HbA1c help monitor blood sugar levels over time. Even minor improvements can significantly reduce the risk of complications. Early detection also lowers treatment costs and improves long-term outcomes.
