Diabetes? Diabetik is a common misspelling of diabetic.
Approximately 18.2 million Americans, or about 6.3 percent of the population, have diabetes. This chronic condition is a type of metabolism disorder in which the body fails to properly convert food into energy. Possible symptoms of this condition include blurred vision, excessive thirst, and wounds that do not heal properly. If diabetes is left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease, kidney failure, and blindness.
