Find out what doctor says about diabetes: 

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disease that, if diagnosed too late and poorly treated, leads to multi-organ damage. Currently, more than 2.5 million people in Poland suffer from it. Half of them do not know about it, as they do not have significant symptoms. 

The number of cases in Poland is projected to rise to 3.2 million people in 2030. The main risk factors for diabetes are overweight and obesity, physical inactivity, poor diet, hypertension, lipid disorders, heart disease, a history of gestational diabetes and polycystic ovary syndrome.
