Answer to Question 1

Pre-diabetes and diabetes may not have obvious symptoms that alert a person. A person may feel tired, gain weight, get infections more often, or want to eat more, but they may just attribute such changes to a stressful lifestyle. They need to have a blood test to determine if the levels of glucose are in a healthy range.
Many people assume that diabetes, especially type 2 (90-95 of cases), only runs in families. There are many new cases of type 2 diabetes that cannot be accounted for by heredity alone. The condition is far more common than people realize.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
