Diabetes is a serious chronic disease that affects a growing number of people. But diabetes can be controlled. It can even be prevented!
Through lifestyle modifications, individuals can alter some of the risk factors for diabetes. Change your diet, increase your level of physical activity, maintain a healthy weight, and quit smoking!
If diabetes is uncontrolled and unmanaged, the progression of the disease is more rapid with more devastating complications and possible premature death.
