Today is World Diabetes Day.  I first heard about diabetes when I was in middle school.  I had spent about a week running up to the grocery store for my older brother who was very ill.  He kept saying he was thirsty so my cousin and I would ride our bikes to the grocery store to pick him up some Gatorade (in hind sight not such a good idea). It was presumed that he had some sort of flu and needed to stay hydrated. Well, after several visits to the doctor, it was the visit to the eye doctor for his blurry vision that finally gave him some answers.  The eye doctor asked. “How long have you had diabetes?” To which my brother responded, “I don’t have diabetes.” The eye doctor told him to go have it checked immediately.  He had his blood sugar checked and it was over 500 mg/dL (normal around 100-140 mg/dL).  He’s lucky that his organs didn’t go into failure before they were able to diagnose him and get his blood sugar regulated, you can go in here to know More about the author and his amazing contributions.
