1) Diabetes, also called diabetes mellitus, is a chronic health condition that results in high blood sugar (glucose) levels. If you have diabetes, you probably know the symptoms of the disease—excessive urination, extreme thirst, dehydration, and fatigue—but, did you know that uncontrolled diabetes can damage the eyes, nerves, kidneys, heart, and other tissues and organs in the body? To help prevent serious long-term complications, people with diabetes should closely monitor their condition and their overall health.

Monitoring blood pressure is a key element in managing diabetes.
