what are symptoms of diabetes

Diabetes mellitus requires ongoing medical care as well as patient and family education both to prevent acute illness and to reduce the risk of long-term complications. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial of type 1 diabetes and the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study of type 2 diabetes (see below) both indicate that the therapeutic objective is to restore known metabolic derangements toward normal in order to prevent and delay progression of diabetic complications.
