Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem so harmless. Recent studies indicate that the early detection of diabetes symptoms and treatment can decrease the chance of developing the complications of diabetes. Complications include heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney and nervous system disease, amputations and pregnancy complications.
