Diabetes is a serious chronic health issue that can lead to many other problems.  Without proper control, diabetes complications can arise that are much worse than the diabetes itself.  With good control you can live a long, active, and fulfilling life.

Diabetes, typ1 or type 2 is not a disease that is controlled by just taking your medication and forgetting it. Just taking your diabetes medicine won't control your diabetes.  Unless you do more you're setting yourself up to become one of the horrible statistics listed below.

 Diabetes Statistics

Each day:

·        600 people die from diabetes complications.
·        200 people undergo an amputation due to diabetes.
·        100 cases of kidney failure occur  due to diabetes

These statistics were grimly uttered by Ann Albright, Director of the Division of Diabetes Translation for the Center for Disease Control (CDC).Additionally, she said that “of the children born in America in 2000, one in three will develop diabetes in their lifetime.”

In addition, according to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), there are 21 million people in the United States who are diagnosed with diabetes and if something dramatic does not occur in the next 20 years, this number will double! The costs for diabetes will exceed $174 billion dollars in 2008.

$116 Million on medical expenditures
 $38 million on reduced national productivity"

These statistics are not improving.  If you are one of those diagnosed with diabetes or pre diabetes, it is vital to your health and longevity that you get control of your diabetes NOW!
