Diabetes

Approximately 24 million Americans suffer from diabetes.  It sucks up $116 billion dollars each year in direct medical costs and $58 billion dollars a year in indirect costs.  More than 90% of diabetics are considered type 2 diabetics, or non-insulin dependent.  There are ever changing medications used to manage diabetes, many of which dramatically help an individual manage blood sugar, but ultimately fall short in correcting a person's physiology.

In the next series, we'll take a look at how diabetes works and why this crippling disease can be almost entirely prevented.  Most of us probably know at least one diabetic in our inner circle of family and friends.  To some, it seems inevitable because of a defeatist attitude that echoes, "my mom had it and so I'll get it too... it's in my genes."  We'll zoom in and look at the vicious chain of degeneration that diabetes sets off.  Then, we'll look at natural means to manage this disorder.

Many people know something about diabetes.  But the reality is; it's much worse than you think.
