- This film, using the documentary technique, is coupled with a seven-minute discussion about identifying and living with diabetes, featuring national experts on the disease. Several individuals of varying ages and backgrounds who have diabetes discuss their symptoms, discovery of, and life with the chronic illness. The film stresses how many people have diabetes but don't realize it--the "diabetics unknown." It urges an annual physical checkup for everyone, particularly persons in the highest risk categories and those who show possible symptoms.
