November is National Diabetes Awareness month.
The disease is growing at an epidemic rate; in the last 20
years, the number of American adults diagnosed
with diabetes has more than tripled as the
population ages and becomes more overweight.
Although there isn't a cure yet, self-management
education and healthy lifestyle habits can greatly
reduce the risk of diabetes and its impact on your life. In
this issue of You at Your Best, we look at ways to manage
and prevent this deadly and costly disease.
