Diabetes is a disease particularly insidious and perverse as it may not be any symptoms for many years and when symptoms appear are those complications.
The phrase “I have no symptoms, so I’m not sick” is completely false, but “may well have diabetes for many years without knowing it” is perfectly correct, and lack of a correct detection complication is already present at diagnosis of diabetes in 10 to 30% of cases in individual studies.
