Say What?

 Shocking Diabetes Facts that will make you say 'Sweet Jesus, that's a big problem!'

Did you know that the word Diabetes was already a thing back in 1500 B.C.? Yeah, crazy right? And if your pee tastes like honey and attracts ants, you might want to get checked because that's one of the symptoms.

Back in the day, Diabetes treatments were wack. They used tobacco, rice and milk (sounds like a recipe for disaster), and even opium!

Thank God for scientist Jean De Meyer who discovered insulin in the late 1800s, because Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness and heart disease. And let's face it, no one wants ants crawling around in their urine.

But get this, half of the people with Diabetes don't even know they have it! It's a sneaky disease that can wreak havoc on your body. And if that's not bad enough, it also causes a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans.

So let's raise awareness and keep researching and innovating Diabetes care, because until then, we're all just a bunch of sweet, sticky, ant-attracting pee pee drinkers."
