Managing Diabetes

The rise in diabetes is reaching epidemic proportions across the U.S. - over 25 million Americans have the disease.  diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that converts sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life.  The cause of diabetes is unknown, although genetics and environmental factors such as obesity and lack of exercise appear to ply roles.  Therefore, lifestyle changes can reduce the impact or prevent the onset of diabetes.
