Diabetes may affect over 24 million Americans, however, more than one third may not know they have it. Every 21 seconds someone is diagnosed with diabetes. The most common symptoms are: excess urination, thirst and hunger; also problems with fatigue, weight, healing, and blurred vision. The complications of diabetes often result in major disability and premature death, but they may be delayed or prevented by intensive glucose control.

Education is the key to beginning diabetes management. Classes may be offered in your area. Call your local hospital for information. If you live in Orange County, California, please visit one of our classes.
