November is Diabetes Awareness Month. The number of diabetes cases increased by 90 percent over the past decade and in 2007, diabetes killed 300,000 Americans.
Although type 1 diabetes is often genetic, type 2 diabetes is often the result of lifestyle choices. Diet, exercise and weight all play a role in the prevention or development of type 2 diabetes.
Awareness of your risk factors for diabetes and prevention are key. Healthy lifestyle choices can help you avoid the onset of type 2 diabetes. For more information, speak to your health care provider or contact the American Diabetes Association.
