this is that the symptoms, when seen on their own, seem not detrimental.

<br />
</span><span lang="EN-US"><span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Diabetes</span></span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> is a
disorder of metabolism characterized by high blood sugar levels that results
from defects in insulin secretion or action or both. Normally, the body uses
digested food for growth and energy. When food is digested, it is broken down
into glucose, the form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of
fuel for the body but is controlled by insulin (a hormone produced by the
pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach).</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">After digestion, glucose passes into the
bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy. For glucose to
get into cells, insulin must be present. </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Insulin lowers the blood glucose level.
When the blood glucose elevates (for example, after eating food), insulin is
released from the pancreas to normalize the glucose levels. In patients with
diabetes, the insulin is either absent, relatively insufficient for the body's
needs, or not used properly by the body. All of these factors cause elevated
levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia). Glucose builds up in the blood,
overflows into the urine, and passes out of the body in the urine. </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"><br />
<br />
</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Thus, the body loses its main source of fuel
even though the blood contains large amounts of glucose.</span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;"> The body tries to
get rid of the glucose through the kidneys but the high blood sugar produces
the classical symptoms of </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyuria"><span lang="EN" style="color: #68961f; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt; text-decoration: none;">polyuria</span></a></span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">
