How Much Do You Know About Diabetes? [Level 1 – Easy]

We like to believe that our articles help people with diabetes to better manage the disease and to educate those without diabetes on the matter. Of course, we’re not expecting our fans to become experts on the matter (we’re learning every day too!).

Today’s article is going to be a little bit different. I thought it would be fun to test your knowledge on diabetes, starting with Level 1 – Easy. This quiz will help you to assess your understanding on diabetes and us to improve our writing skills. You see, we sometimes assume that everyone knows about XYZ and tend to briefly skim through it, only to realize that it isn’t common knowledge.

Are you ready?
