Deal with diabetes to avoid complications
Diabetes can strike anyone from any walk of life, and recently, it has been striking in numbers that are increasing by leaps and bounds. The latest statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are pretty sobering. In the last decade alone, the cases of individuals living with diabetes increased by almost 50 percent to more than 29 million Americans. Worldwide, diabetes afflicts more than 380 million people and now takes more lives than AIDS and breast cancer combined – claiming the life of one American every three minutes. In addition, diabetes is a leading cause of many serious health concerns.Â
