Here is some info about diabetes from Wikipedia: Diabetes is a syndrome characterized by disordered metabolism and inappropriately high blood sugar resulting from either low levels of the hormone insulin or from abnormal resitance to insulin's effects coupled with inadequate levels of insulin secretion to compensate.  The characteristic symptoms are excessive urine production, excessive thirst and increased fluid intake, and blurred vision. These symptoms are likely to be absent if the blood sugar is only mildly elevated. The diabetic on board blood level is 4.2 Everyone is happy.
