Pick Up The Pace In The Fight Against Diabetes.

Pick up the pace in the fight against diabetes.

Diabetes is growing at epidemic rates; a healthy weight and routine exercise can help delay or even prevent this serious disease. If you are related to someone with diabetes or are overweight, your risk for diabetes increases.

90-95% of diabetics have Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes disables the metabolism and body from making or using its own insulin.

80-90% of Type 2 Diabetics are overweight; being overweight is the biggest risk factor for diabetes.

Diabetics are normally aged over 40 and develop symptoms gradually.

Some early symptoms of diabetes are frequent thirst, frequent urination, blurry vision, unusual fatigue, and unexplained weight loss.

Early diagnosis is important because the longer diabetes goes untreated, the greater the damage and risk of disability and early death.
