Diabetes alert
Evening Chronicle (Newcastle, England), July 21, 2008
THOUSANDS of people are facing a future of ill health because they don't know they have diabetes.
The charity Diabetes UK has warned that 30,000 people in the North East have Type 2 diabetes but don't know.
Diabetes can lead to heart disease, blindness, amputation, kidney failure and shorter life expectancy.
But early diagnosis and good management of the condition can cut the risk of complications.
