Statistic is staggering. In 2012, there were 371 million people diagnosed with diabetes. And then it's expected to rise by 2030 that there will be 552 million people living with diabetes. Now, diabetes is diagnosed by blood work. And sometimes you may have diabetes, you don't even know it at all. And the first symptoms may just be that you're urinating a lot, sometimes fatigue or sometimes sleepiness, and you need to really get assessed. And it's just a simple blood work to see what your fasting blood sugar is like and also checking your hemoglobin A1C.
