Diabetes? Dibetic is a common misspelling of diabetic.
If you experience excessive thirst, wounds that won't heal, or blurred vision, you may have diabetes. This chronic condition occurs when the body fails to properly convert food into energy. Diabetes is diagnosed using a simple blood glucose test. If the condition goes untreated, it can lead to serious problems, such as kidney failure, heart disease, or blindness. Possible treatment options include losing weight, following a healthy food plan, or injecting insulin.
