About Us

"In the Cleveland area, there are a lot of places to walk around, and a lot of places are free. We go to the Art Museum, we just went to the zoo, so we’ve done some exercise that’s not really exercise, but it was good for our health and good for our weight management and also good for our diabetes."

Quick Tips

Talk it up, ladies! When it comes to health matters, women rule. Men often learn about health issues from women, while women usually get health information from doctors, TV and other sources.

Warning Signs of Diabetes

Many people have diabetes for years before it is ever diagnosed. In fact, nearly 1/3 of diabetics are undiagnosed.

Classic symptoms of diabetes include:

Frequent urination
Intense thirst
Excessive hunger
Extreme tiredness or weakness
Unexplained weight loss
Blurred vision
Pain, numbness or tingling of the hands or feet
Bruises that won’t go away
Sores that won’t heal

It is good to keep in mind that simply having one or more of these symptoms doesn’t automatically mean you have diabetes. To evaluate your risk, the American Diabetes Association has a Diabetes Risk Test that you can take online.
