Diabetes is a common condition in the United States, with more than one in 10 Americans living with the disease. Many individuals living with diabetes may be completely unaware of the situation, with approximately 7.3 million individuals living with undiagnosed diabetes. An additional 88 million adults in the US, or one-third of the adult population, live with a condition known as pre-diabetes, which can develop into diabetes without proper medical intervention. Living with untreated diabetes can lead to a range of serious health conditions, from blindness to increased chances of kidney damage, heart disease, and stroke. With this in mind, it is of paramount importance for people, especially those at higher risk for the disease, to remain vigilant when it comes to identifying the potential symptoms of diabetes. Some of the most common indicators of the disease include increased thirst and frequent urination. Similarly, people living with diabetes may notice unexplained weight loss despite feeling a constant hunger, as the body fails to absorb necessary sugars. This sugar can no longer be converted to energy, leaving people with chronic fatigue. People experiencing these conditions should discuss symptoms with their physicians, particularly if they are paired with blurred vision, frequent infections, or wounds that are slow to heal.
