Diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions in many countries and, if not diagnosed sufficiently early, can be a major cause of blindness, heart and kidney disease, etc.

Prevention is possible through screening and life-style changes such as improved dietary habits and regular physical exercise.

Diabetes is not a serious condition in itself if diagnosed and treated early enough but it can have very serious consequences if undetected or left untreated for a long time.
