As with diabetes this does not happen, this disorder leads to an abnormally high level of sugar in the blood which give rise to a variety of symptoms.

If the sugar levels are uncontrolled over several years, it may damage various tissues of the body. Therefore the treatment of diabetes is essential and is designed not only to reverse any symptoms you might have had at the beginning, but also to prevent serious problems developing later.

One of the most important things for everyone to remember about diabetes, provided you look after yourself, is, that it doesn't need to necessarily have to affect your life in adverse ways.”

Please keep your appointments at the Manx Diabetes Centre at Noble's as it is in your interest to be properly cared for.

See you next quarter, until then look after yourselves”.

This is John Collins saying T.T.F.N.
