What are early symptoms of
diabetes? They include great
thirst, ravenous appetite, espe-
cially for sweets, and Copious
urination. Your doctor, or the
American Diabetic Association,
offers a simple urine test to
detect diabetes. Untreated diabetes can result
in a coma, or possibly death, whereas proper
treatment can mean a long life of normal
activity.
