Nov 14th is World Diabetes Day
Diabetes is a serious health condition that affects over 23 million people in the United States and as many as 180 million people worldwide. As alarming as those statistics are they are nothing compared to how quickly the disease is growing. Not only is Type 1, also referred to as juvenile diabetes, growing steadily at about a 3% increase per year, but Type 2 Diabetes which was once considered a threat only to people in later life is also growing at an alarming rate in children and people of all ages. Diabetes can cause death through its own symptoms if left unchecked, but beyond that it increases the risk of many other deadly diseases including heart disease.
