Diabetes Prevention

Diabetes is a tough disease to deal with, so it's best to make sure it doesn't happen to you.

Diabetes places those affected at greatly increased risk from heart disease, stroke and certain cancers, as elevated blood sugar levels and insulin resistance damage the inner lining of our veins, arteries and capillaries.

Risk factors for Type II diabetes include obesity, age, family history, lack of exercise, high blood pressure (hypertension), and increased blood cholesterol and triglycerides.

The American Diabetes Association says that Type 2 diabetes is more common among African Americans, Native Americans, Latinos, Asian-Americans and the aging population in this country.

Some old research information showing that diabetes can be effectively treated for $150.00 per year.
