Considering the great physical toll diabetes takes on the human body ( peripheral nerve damage, vision problems, kidney failure, heart disease, loss of limbs ) one can understand just how important it is that this disease is diagnosed and treated as quickly as possible. Many people exhibit the signs and symptoms of diabetes but do not go for treatment as they do not recognize the symptoms as signs of having diabetes.
