I am the newest face of diabetes. I was unaware of the symptoms of diabetes and I didn't feel sick. But when the diagnoses came in that I had Type 2 diabetes I was shocked! Needless to say I got right to work to learn more about this silent epidemic. More than 2 million people are diagnosed with type 2 each year and more are unaware they are at risk.
You can reduce your risk of diabetes by lowering your cholesterol and your blood sugar through diet and exercise. Learn the symptoms and get tested. To learn more about diabetes go to the American Diabetes Association web site or contact your local office:
