Tired all the time. Always thirsty. Losing weight without trying. Maria ignored the signs—until a routine blood test changed everything.
She Thought It Was Just Stress. It Was Diabetes.
The Real Story
Maria is a 41-year-old mother of two. She works full time, eats fairly well, and doesn’t smoke. For months, she felt run-down. She chalked it up to life stress. It wasn’t until she nearly fainted while running errands that she came to see a healthcare provider.
This is a common scenario healthcare providers see: someone who appears otherwise healthy, but is silently developing diabetes.
