If you have a family history of diabetes heart disease and high blood pressure, GET A YEARLY PHYSICAL with complete blood work. I finally got one a little less than a year ago. Was diagnosed with type II diabetes and high blood pressure. I have controlled both by diet and excersize since then, but nonetheless I spent Tuesday night thru Thursday afternoon in the hospital with a heart attack and stent placement. I dodged the big one, mine was a minor one, but a wake up call none the less. They said the heart attack was largely due to the diabetes. Had I gone in a few years before, and had the diabetes diagnosed, things could be different. Just don't want to see this happen to anyone here.
