Better Living With Diabetes: Free online guide!

More than 34 million people in the United States are living with diabetes, and 7 million of them don’t even know it!

As if those numbers weren’t staggering enough, another 88 million Americans have prediabetes, increasing their odds of developing the disease. 

While some groups are more prone to diabetes than others, people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds can develop diabetes. And with that risk comes a slew of potential health problems. Complications related to diabetes can attack nearly any body function, including your heart, kidneys, nerves, and vision. Even your skin is at risk.

The good news is that while diabetes may be a life sentence, it’s not a death sentence. You can live a long, active, happy life despite your illness if you act responsibly and make healthy lifestyle choices. But where do you start?
