Diabetes & You

According to the American Diabetes Association, there are currently 20.8 million Americans living with diabetes—which is about 7% of the U.S. population. There are about 2,200 people diagnosed with diabetes every day, making it one of the most prevalent diseases in United States. The good news is that by eating a careful diet and exercising regularly, diabetes can be managed, and the development of type-2 diabetes may be prevented or delayed. The obesity epidemic is another major problem in the United States today, as it can be a factor leading to the development of type-2 diabetes and many other health complications such as hypertension and heart disease. The rapid increase of obesity has opened the eyes of many Americans to the need for diet and exercise to maintain a healthy life.
