Answer :

• Excessive thirst even when you are mostly relaxed
• Feeling of Hunger with desire to be near the dining table always
• Loving your bath room more than your bedroom because you have to urinate often
• Frequent skin infections like boils or fungus inspite of your impeccable hygiene
• Sudden loss or diminished eyesight
• Unexplainable weight loss
• Itching in your genitals or burning as you pass urine even though you are a real Swamiji with no ‘ aides’ around.
• Not able to sexually satisfy yourself or your partner

Any of the above /some of the above or all of them –brands you a “ Diabetic ”
Beware Diabetes – may be present in your even in the absence of any of the symptoms
(If you are hailing from a diabetic stock/family) , take stock of the situation.

yours sweetly,
