Diabetes is a serious chronic disease that can be managed through lifestyle
changes and medication. Over 18 million Americans have diabetes, and another
41 million adults ages 40 to 74 have pre-diabetes. Whether you just found out you have diabetes or have been dealing with it for years, you can control your diabetes and live a long, active life. If you are at risk or have pre-diabetes, you can take small steps to prevent the disease. |
