Good morning, ,

While reading your posts your mention of your need to pee

frequently on two different posts sent alarms buzzing in the back

of my mind. Since this is diabetes awareness month, I've made

a personal commitment to bring reminders of this disease to the

forefront on every opportunity. I was scheduled to walk in a

Diabetes Awareness walk-a-thon this weekend, which

unfortunately due to my current physical limitations, I won't be

able to do....unless I, too, avail myself of one of those motorized

handicapped chairs....(smile).

But getting back to my concern, I try not to be an alarmist, but

when I notice a symtom that I once overlooked before I was

diagnosed with diabetes, I have to speak out. The need to

urinate frequently is one of the early signs of diabetes. Have you

been tested by your doctor? I would suggest it, if you haven't

already done so.

My focus on diabetes awareness has already helped two people

who had diabetes and didn't know it. The fact that it was

discovered early due to these concerns, and will be much easier

to treat because of this early discovery, is all the fuel I needed to

continue my personal diabetes awareness campaign.

With hope and prayers,

Heidi
