Diabetes is a condition that affects the way your body uses food.

1. As your body digests food it converts it into glucose for energy.
2. The body then uses a pancreatic hormone, insulin, to get the glucose into your cells.
3. Diabetes, however, makes it such that your pancreas cannot produce enough, if any, insulin to be assimilated.
4. This causes a build up of undigested glucose in your blood stream, raising your blood sugar levels.

There are 10 easy ways to spot diabetes.

1. Chronic fatigue
2. Excessive thirst
3. Increased appetite
4. Frequent urination
5. Sores that don’t heal
6. Sexual problems
7. Blurry vision
8. Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
9. Significant obesity
10. A family history of diabetes
