DIABETES
Introduction
Diabetes is a medical condition in which the blood glucose levels
remain persistently higher than normal. It is becoming more common in Singapore. This may be due in
part to:
| • |
aging population |
| • |
unhealthy diets |
| • |
lack of exercise |
Uncontrolled diabetes leads
to serious complications such as:
| • |
heart attack |
| • |
stroke |
| • |
blindness |
| • |
kidney failure |
| • |
leg amputations |
The good news is, diabetes can be controlled and complications avoided.
Be in charge of your
health.
Keep your diabetes under control.
