Well, what exactly is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a serious condition where your blood glucose level is too high. It can happen when your body doesn’t produce enough insulin, or when you can’t produce any at all.  

What are the symptoms of Diabetes?

When looking for symptoms always remembers the 4 t’s

1. Toilet – are you constantly going to the toilet?
2. Thirst- are you constantly thirsty and needing a drink?
3. Tired – do you never feel energised?
4. Thinner – are you losing weight rapidly?

If you are suddenly experiencing any of these symptoms, then it is important that you see your GP. Just to be sure!

Diabetes does not have to define you or the way you live your life.
